i have been doing a little research for a while now about painting cars and auto body in general. i was originaly looking in to doing my own body work and taking my car to a maaco for paint. then i realized i could do it for the same price at my own pace, learn alot, and have a custom paint job, by doing it myself. i found a book at barnes and nobel called "how to paint your car". the book is great. lot of pictures and information on everything you can imagine if you are not experienced. So if you are looking in to having your car painted or doing it your self i would highly recomend this book.

and for any one who is wondering, i think i am going to go with a burnt orange paint with black stripes and i am also going to keep the headlight recesses black. at least that is the plan......we all know how that goes.
