[TR] Painting a car

[DLylis at aol.com]

I am with Darrell on this one.  You are concerned about all the right  things 
except you left out SILICONE!  I never found the source (even  changed 
compressors) but the guy who eventually painted the remaining car for me  identified 
it as the problem.
IMHO if you are satisfied with orange peel, sags, etc but a relatively  clean 
looking car, then paint it yourself.  My recommendation is to find  someone 
who will spray it for you in the proper environment.  Make a deal  that you do 
all the prep work as well as the wet sanding and buffing.  You  will gain the 
personal satisfaction that you are looking for without the  aggravation. 
I got mine sprayed for $1200 materials included and the paint was about  
$500.  I have since found that it could have been done cheaper, but I was  OK with 
that.
BTW you are likely to have to sign a statement that you will not come back  
and bitch as the key to a great paint job is prep and you are going to be doing 
 that.
