Nephew's first attempt with real paint

We let him do it on an area that's not gonna show too much. I'm thinking he did pretty good. What do you think?

Re: Nephew's first attempt with real paint

He's still working on the tailgate. He'll probably be paiting most of the truck anyway. This was just to build his confidence.

The only way to learn is by doing. I started when I was 14 on my first car. Good Job.

Re: Nephew's first attempt with real paint

That's a great first job. I see no runs, or orange peel. You should also teach him to wet sand and buff then retake that picture.

Wish I could paint like that! Every time I tried to paint out here the dust would get in it.
