I need someone to paint my truck. I plan on using the hotrod flatz black. Any local members do paint and body out of there shop or garage that looks decent? I want to help to learn something if possible. I would be willing to compensate and buy all materials. I could take it to a paint shop and pay them, but I have done just about everything and want to work on paint and body also.

hotrod flatz is not something you want to do in a garage. it may look simple but its more difficult to spray it properly so you don't get splotchy looking paint. IMO there's no shame in having a shop paint it. There's too much time and money to be wasted trying to do it on your own.

We know a couple guys who do paint and body for a living, and are trying to get their own business going so they do work on the side for pretty cheap. Only downside for you is that they're over in Poulsbo...quite the drive.

I might be game to drive to poulsbo. I have another question you guys might be able to answer. I dont have the stock hood, my new one should be here in a week or two and its fiberglass. I am going to have to put it on so I can drive the truck. Should I have a shop prime and seal it in the mean time? i

If you're not going to drive it much before you get the whole thing painted I think you'd be alright. I believe you just want to avoid long term UV exposure to fiberglass.
