hahahah yeah im gonna go about it in an appologetic way saying you were right etc but i would feel bad if she spent money on something that wasnt useful, thats all. but, like i said before i dont think she'd spend the dough on something before doing a little bit of HW to make sure it was good for my needs...

I'd love to learn how to paint and do some body work.

Painting isn't hard at all. Even if it takes you 2 to 3 tries to get it right the first time you paint, it's still going to be waaay cheaper than having a shop do it.

Yeah I'm not worried about the actual painting itself...it's just all the prep work, and I don't think I would want to paint without a booth. I don't want crap to get in the paint while its drying.

I'd love to see your results

Would you like to post a "How to" on this subject?

DO IT! That's very interesting. I never thought about trying to do it myself.

My paint is in such bad shape now, even if I really screwed up it'd be better.
