Message	The paint wasn't that hard my buddy Joe who is a body shop tech stuck around after hours to make sure I wasn't screwing it up. The Service Manager at the dealership I work at allowed me to use the spray booth and the bake feature so the paint didn't get clouded or dirty. I had a few runs after I was done, but they came right out with wet-sanding and compound. I also had asked to watch the techs a few times while they sprayed cars to learn how they did it. I practiced on some thrown out fenders and sheet metal and such. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
