Though TIG produces a very nice result, it is very sensitive to contamination or residue on the metal. Unlike a MIG, you cannot simply burn through paint, primer, oxides, etc. while welding. Parts must be very clean and oxide free. Welding on bodywork and seams (and at odd difficult to get at angles), I prefer the MIG, but I don't have one; only got a TIG.....got pretty good at operating the pedal with my knee though.
