    Pretty sure he's not. Last time I spoke to him was earlier this year and he was pretty sick. He reckoned he was over the panel beating/painting thing.

    I'm not sure what I'll ultimately do. I've heard some stories about even very expensive paint jobs having problems, many of which only become apparent after the car has been put back together. I suppose I could just break out the killrust and some good quality brushes

    With the right paint, brush application is the best way. We have been painting vehicles longer than we have been spraying paint.

    I saw an article on the art of coach painting a while ago. A lot of work to do properly, but it looked great. And to save $20,000 I'd be prepared to do a lot of work

    I've been really impressed with the improved finish from adding a bit of Penetrol to the paint when brushing.
