Go to http://www.autobodystore.com/cgi-bin/config.pl?index  read
everything you can before you start asking questions. Almost everything
you need to know will have been discussed in the last 30 days. Buy the
video sold on the site. Once you find out you have the proper equipment
for the type paint you want to use, go to the junkyard and buy the
cheapest hood you can. Practice until you are satisfied with the
results. There are beginners there who have turned out incredible work
on their first job after doing their homework. It ain't rocket science
but it must be done exactly right to get a quality job.
