Re: paint quote

I was going to do something like that when I had my car painted.  I was
wanting to do all the prep work and then have it painted.  I started
sanding and stuff, got fed up with it, and quit.  When I finally took it in
to have it painted, it turned out that there was a lot that I didn't know
about the whole process.  My car had a lot of bondo, which they ground out,
and pulled dents, then blocked everything to make it even and smooth.  If I
would have done all that myself, my car would have come out looking like
crap.  I'm very glad I had someone else do all that for me.
