Auto body and paint are two different things in my mind lol Just buy the paint for me hah, dont bomb it black, of anything do it a different color like my car when it was blue. And why are you still complaining about people's parents buying them cars? maybe because some people's parents love them more than others?? IDK I just hear that s*** all the freakin time and it gets so old. People are jealous, even though they talk it up to make it seem like they aren't. Not hating on people who's parents bought them cars, more power to ya. I wish my parents would have lol. But they've spotted me sometimes on some s*** I've needed, but that's about it.
technically its collision repair, metal work, fabrication, body work, and paint is what we do. i wish my parents woulda bought my first car, on occasion if im flat broke they will spot me too, but not too often. but it makes me like my car more knowing that i bought it and i built it. i mean sure, ill admit it, its a s**t box, but ive practically built the whole car by myself. and im proud of it i much rather have a civic, but i cant afford to buy another car let alone finish the one i already have.

That, I can completely relate too. My hatch is slowly coming back to life. I have been out of work for 2 weeks with little money.

Wisconsin is a far drive to PA haha. Lol, yeah, I want to do it blue because the original color was blue, but unfortunately finding a color close to it will be hard in a spray can. I'm gonna pick some paint up tomorrow and start with the rear. I remember when you painted yours blue and it came out pretty good, so I think i'm going to do that.
Hah its just a little drive. I have family in Dallas, PA, where ever that is hah but yeah i got my s**t at Fleet Farm, the color was deep blue or something like that? Just make sure you get like 2-3 coats, and hit it with some clear, or like i did, use a gun and clear it lol

Don't wanna completely jack the thread haha, but I love the bandaid sticker. My dad had a bandaid magnet on the dent in his Taurus haha.
