Subject:      Re: Bodywork ... advice?

My understanding from my father that used to work with a couple of  
guys that were masters at doing lead body work, was that it takes  
quite a knack to do it and lots of practice. Which you are right  
makes it expensive and rare.  As for a paint gun I bought the $35.00  
Harbor Freight special and have been very happy with it.  I will be  
the first to admit I am not much of a painter, but the gun seems to  
do its part.
