Yea I learned the hard way years ago. I painted a RC car body, very detailed and won concourse with it at a national event. I then had to run the body in one qualifying race. I side swiped the wall on the back straight and almost all the paint lifted off the body.
I use to paint look in my gallery and see what I did in the driveway a few years back. So where are you? I could use a good painter. How are you on bodywork?
