While I don't pretend to be an expert by any means, I love autobody work. You can adjust brakes, tune carbs, and tweak suspension components all you want, but until you get the car straight with a fresh coat of paint, it will still look like an old car. While I am still just learning, I have learned from one of the best. I'm sure the autobody technicians are just like teachers, even at 30 years of experience we always learning new ways to instruct kids, and their learning better ways to achieve nicer results. My mentor just happens to be both!
While I have prepped cars before, I have never sprayed them. If you care to view my first experience with the paint gun in my hand, please click the picture below to view my gallery of the process from start to finish.
Enjoy the pics! If you have a restoration that you would like to share, email me! I'd be happy to set up a gallery for you and show you how to use it! I figure the more CORRECT information we have here, the more it will benefit the international VW community.
