sanding fiberglass and body filler is just as bad lol most of the time we have masks but no one was in the booth and i wanted to get in there quickly and get it painted before someone comes in and gets dust everywhere

Dude, is that a Punisher skull in the first picture?

yes it is why??

where are u taking classes at? I'm just starting my second year at a junior college, its alright...I've been working at a body shop for two months now. I absolutely love it! its so much fun... I'll have to post up some pics of flames and other stuff i've painted/airbrushed.

im going to school at hawkeye community college in waterloo iowa and i work at iowa auto rebuilders i havent really done much there ... but i am thinking about selling my sub and amp and cd player maybe and getting my self an airbrush i love all of it

I want to see the complete paintjob. I'm a big Punisher fan.

ok ill make shure i get some pictures of the finished hood we are going do do akulls in some of the corners and such with an airbrush i know it will turn out good im just afraid of my hood the one with the orange and the black because there is a small spot were the bace color got cut with an razor blade, so i have to go back and i am going to airbrush something over that area i dont know what i am going to do yet ... also anyone have any color ideas for how i can pinstripe those lines because i have limited color choices and i was wondering what color would look best with the pearl orange

anyone know any color choices??

yes i agree get the charcoal masks on, when i was in school for autobody one of my instructors had a sensitivity to the DP epoxy primer, he sprayed it for so long without using a mask that now if he even get a wiff of it it will make him dizzy and pass out, nice work by the way, if you can believe this the fenders we took a steel bar to to dent and then fix with LEAD, first then bondo and such were factory GM 69 chevelle fenders

i would love to know how to do lead work but now everything is filled with body putty

true story about the body putty...lol its eithe bondo or fiberglass it seems like. Right now at work i'm in the process of doing a resto on a 91 toyota camry(i have no clue why)but i had to weld in patch panels and fiberglass and now i'm using body putty to get it nice and smooth...and thats just for the quarter panels...lol I can't wait till i learn how to do lead work...BTW i haven't gotten my moms camera to upload my pics of all the stuff i've painted yet...still work on that...hopefully i'll be able to soon...

stauffie are u in autobody also ?? hey i got my hood done today with the colors and clear coat now i just have to get my brush and im gonna start doing some pinstripe!!!

yea i'm in my second year at a junior college program, its alright. It took me forever to find a job in an actual shop but i finally did and i love it...

~stauffie

yes i found a job in a shop the only thing i dont like is how they are all about ##'s and not about the quality of the work ... they like to use primer as body filler which isnt good well not in my book anyways and the think i hate is cleaning the 2 paint booths and all of the prep stations .. that sucks lol

here is pics. of some stuff i've done...tell me what yall think...
