Just be prepared for alot of work, its harder then it seems

alot of hard work will be better then paying some bull crap price of 5k for a paint job.

5k isnt that bad, at work it's $500 min to paint a bar

it helps if you have a mate in the trade or something to give you some guidance.

im a spray-painter and i use to try and paint my old cars before i was an apprentice, i remember back then i had barely any tools and limited knowledge which meant even the simple parts took me aages. if u can borrow a palm sander and a decent air compressor it makes the job so much quicker

Ive got some old boots i wanna practice on
