What do you need to know? Are you just looking for basic knowledge or do you have specific things that you wanna know? If you're looking for certain things go ahead and make a list of things you wanna know and I'll answer as many of them as I can.

I got a body question for you.
Previous owner got a macco paint job and its peeling really bad on the black trim. I want to paint from the trim all the way down (including the metal) a semi glossy black. Now, I have never done body work so I need to know how to do everything. This is only a temporary fix but I'd still like it to last a good 1.5-2 yrs if even possible. Can I use something out of a spray can? What kind of sandpaper, primer, etc? Thanks.

hey man from what i saw yesterday, you seemed to know what you were doing, as long as the bondo is falling off or chipping im sure its gonna be fine if you keep up what your doing.

I spray painted the trunk lid on my accord gloss black and it looked good then, but now it's almost a dark grey color. Try not to do temporary fixes, wait and do it right.
