helps to do things yourself, it has it's imperfections, but i've never done it solo.....i have my body guy/painter do all my customer cars, but figured i'd give it a wirl.....i've paid close attention, and learn fast.....pretty fun but very tedious.....now i know why body guy's and painters charge so much....lol

The only place that's faster is the factory, and they don't have you beat by that much! Awesome work!
