Hello Travis, My advice is to make friends with some body shop folks. Fix a dent, drive it by a shop, and have it critiqued. Be patient, bodywork is not an instant gratification. I use my SO's brother-in-law for information, if I didn't have Stan it would be more difficult than it already is. Practice painting on something. I prepped and painted two pieces of heavy equipment to begin with. Next I did a two tone paint job on a bicycle frame for my sister. I used Glasurit 55 polyester base coat in two of my VW colors (sea blue and Baltic blue), and covered it with Glasurit clear coat. Beautiful. Next I am going to paint my 67 Fasty, but first I need to weld in replacement rockers. That is a whole new skill to learn. Good luck, DÑfòders -----Original Message----- From: Travis Campbell <ycleped@HOTMAIL.COM> To: type3@vwtype3.org <type3@vwtype3.org> Date: Monday, March 22, 1999 12:38 PM Subject: [T3] Body Work Cont. >After reading over your responses, I'm starting to warm up to the idea >of getting all of the painting supplies and doing the painting my self, >or at least trying (getting the dents out still scares me).
