Hahaha... That last post was funny... "Just thinking/kinda outloud!" lol.
Gotta love Humilty
Hey, .......... do what you think is WISE! If you really want this to come out sick, ... just do all the sanding/priming and then wait for him. There IS really something to experience when it comes to "smooth coats".... BUT, you can also watch lots of video's on it, ya know? That can't hurt...
I think I mentioned, not sure... Brian had LOTS of help from a guy on here I've not seen chiming in, in a while. His name is Mike, but his ID is unique... Can't remember it off hand. There are QUITE a few threads on here for 'self painted rigs'... With lots of 'how to' with many different styles, etc. One of them in particular that I'm subscribed to. I'll see if I can find it.
Just do it right, the first time, please? lol... Stripping it down again is NOT lots of fun and wouldn't be really a 'learning experience' that you need, ya know? lol. Dry/Arid conditions are best... And wetsanding and interim sanding and all that... it's an ART! I've seen INCREDIBLE Roll on paint jobs even... But those guys REALLY knew what they were doing (the ones that turned out REALLY clean anyway).
