    Trailer queens are not fun vehicles anyway, the joy comes when you can drive it and see the appreciation it gives to others in your travels. It's a real good feeling when strangers give you the thumbs up when you drive by.

    I was nervous painting my own mainly because my shop really isn't equipped as a paint shop and the lighting isn't the best but all in all it didn't turn out too bad and I got a thumbs up by a couple body shops who were impressed with the way it turned out for being painted in a garage.

    Biggest problem is learning overlap, and how wet or dry to make the paint.
    A good gun makes all the difference in the world.
    Buy a pint of paint, and practice on some panels for a bit, you will pick it up pretty quick.

    The problem I had I think is I picked a paint with a lot of pearl.

    Pearl is NOT a paint for a first time painter. LOL
