This is my favorite TV show. Can't wait for the next episode. Seriously, this is an amazing thread. You are helping so many current and future builders determine if they have the time, patience, facility, skill and resiliency to paint their own car. You are doing a great job and and even better job of documenting the learning curve.
My hats off to the pros who have been riding shotgun. Your support for the community is awesome and even though you are giving away years of experience, I'm sure you are gaining many future customers.
Keep going brother. Can't wait to see the end result.
