I've actually got some laying around I need to get rid of, if you're serious. lol

Actually i am very serious. It would probably cost me a mint for shipping though.

Im gonna stop by some body shops and see if they have any scrap panels they will give me.

[DrFabulous]

I have a fender with a dent in it. You can have it for $25 for all I care I want it gone lol

[coupe]

Yeah but what would shipping cost me lol

[DrFabulous]

I dunno... it might be easier/cheaper for you to just pull something from a junkyard, you know?

[coupe]

Yeah thats what im thinkin

[Tank]

have fun with this. I did the same thing,body work I got pretty damb good. The paint and clear is the hard part. Getting the right pressure, fan, motions. It takes some time but its fun ass hell to do.

Im gonna go through alot of scrap panels im sure before i get a good feel for it.
You can always come up for a detail though.

[coupe]

Come on up for a weekend, i will cut with my rotary and you follow with your PC and we could do a full paint resto in under 4 hours easy and thats taking alot of beer breaks.

I know notsoaveragejoe will come on and tell you to do your neighbours car first so im gonna beat him to it.

In all reality tho, i wetsand cars at work all the time and you really have to try to burn through. if you do easy passes with tons of water it will be fine.

when the paper starts sticking to the car i usually add more water.

Its posts like this i find hard to believe. Ive burned and striked through paint a few times now and it took nothing more than a blink of an eye, its that easy. I dont know ANYONE who wetsands with nothin more than water, thats CRAZY.

Good luck with that. I'm a little frightened by it but you'll prolly pick it up pretty quick.

[geldartb]

ive got a whole car you can practice on. only catch you have to come to my house.

[Elderas]

I guess the only difference is I dont do it on factory clear coats. although ive done it a few times on factory clear and it turned out fine
