It takes a lot of skill to paint as well as a lot of tool. The paint cost me $350.You have to spray the paint evenly, hold the gun a certain distance, and etc. Overall this process has given me great confedence and I have learned a lot things. I learned to do all of this on my own with my father guilding me here and there with help. My dad is a mechanic and I've been around cars since I was little. He use to paint cars but stopped and so I was given some tips which helped me out when painting. Now that I'm 17 I decided to take upon my own task and do all the work myself. No one does any work to my car except and my dad.
