trying to start a thread on painting (all inclusive) and bodywork (removing dents, etc.) because, well I want to learn it and im sure there are tons of viewers wondering/wishing the same thing.
If you have bodywork/Paint know-how, share here! -------------------- same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said

I have alot of experience in terms of bodywork, spraying etc...I can put up a few write ups on small dent repair, radio antenna hole smoothing, bonnet road rash re-spray all with pictures.
The only problem is I work with HVLP spray guns, compressors, air fed masks, that maybe alot of people don't have...but is could give some information on how it's done and what's involved.

If you could do that, I would appreciate it so much! I think Coomer should make a section on the forum dedicated to just body work. Even though it is considered "Exterior Styling" it should have it's own section because exterior styling is leaning more towards hoods, bumpers, lights, and etc, but there is just so much about body work and I don't think exterior styling could handle it. Also, the fact that the site would be a little messier with it in there as well. That's just my thought on it though |
