Hi all
I am in digest so I don't allways get to read up often. I went through the michigan mechanics certification program seventeen years ago and passed everything to be certified as a master mech. Then before I paid for the certification I changed employment. one of the reasons i got out of the car repair job was it was interfering my hobby (jeeps old fords ).
as to the paint it yourself thread. I have an older brother who paints cars as a second job but for the not critical stuff i do my own with a $39 cheep imitation of a binks paint gun i got at the swap meet. as for paint i use a lot of ace hardwares rust stop enamel with cheep lacqure thinner. I don't know how this stuff will look in ten years but my delivery truck is holding up fine and my delivery boys don't care how well it shines. My cj2 is for fun and a professinal paint job would make me cringe at every branch scrape. my 51 panel is another story it is blue metalic and white and was pro. done and perfect till the building fell on it and ruined the front foot or so of the roof. oh well i always said i got as much fun from working on it as driving it. this list is very informative and entertaining as well.
