    well talked to my dad and he cant do it but he reminded me of a family friend that used to have his own paint and body shop.... said he may do it for what the clear and reducer costs and may even help teach me how to paint with auto paint.... gotta try to run and talk to him in the next couple of days.... probably gonna try to run thursday or friday....

    In my garage...

    I think I've got a couple HF air paint guns that have only had water sprayed through them. I had the bright idea that I was gonna paint my truck once upon a time... needless to say it didn't happen & I still have the spray guns.
