I am thinking of writing up a DIY for those of you interested in learning to paint your cars or your pieces.........Is anyone interested? If so, what kind of stuff would you like to see on it?

For instance material choosing (paint types, clearcoat types, clearcoat hardener types) etc?
I would like to give you enough direction to where you would feel 100% comfy reading it and trying it on your own.

Lastly what section would it go under? DIY?

Didn't you WOW us a couple of months ago with your Wet On Wet technique? I think you'll find a good audience here. If for nothing more than admiration.
