I have never done bodywork/paint on a car before.
I have a few dings in my '74LE (very minor) and I am dying to get it looking as good as I can for next summer. Since I have no experince, should I try/not try to learn how to paint/fix dents on my own? On one hand, I would feel better doing the job myself. On the other hand, I don't want to screw it up worse than it already is... (it isn't that bad)... A) In your opinion, Should I? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) How do I learn how to paint stuff? |

You have a nice LE Rhett, inexperience can mess things up pretty easily. Saving a couple hundred dollars now an easily cost many times that to have it repaired correctly later. If it was any old car, I would encourage you to go for it too.
The minor dents can be removed by a paintless dent removal shop, and it works very well! But under the circumstances, give this one to the pros and practice on the family minivan... |
