Please don't tell me you payed up front like I did? I will learn how to paint a car myself before I do that again

I'm considering building a booth in my garage at some point.
As I get older, I regret relying on people more and more.

If paint is in the near future? Always wash car with Dawn dish soap as many times leading up to the paint / body work process. Trust me when I say wax kills a paint job! Those green scotch bright pads are useful as well!
If in doubt? Wash it again with a heavy helping of Dawn soap!

I'm not sure what type of friends you have? But I'd find a friend around your same age and interest in old cars. Paint and body work etc
It's hard when your on your own and making a new friend never hurts either.. Just a thought...
