Hammer/dolly work. Most magazine articles are very superficial on this.

Not paint related, but I'd love to see a 'how too' on constructing panels for the interior of the trunk.

I would appreciate some paint gun tech. like n00b stuff: what tip sizes are, what they're used for, how to adjust the gun, how to pick a gun to buy

The biggest problem your going run into is DUST and INSECTS. You would be amazed that after all your efforts to prep the painting area. Dust and insects still find they're way onto that sweet paint job you just finished. A CLEAN, sterile enviorment is key to a good finished paint job.

I might not be the only person with this question. ... How to set up a paint gun, from out of the box to shooting the paint out. I am mainly interested in how everything is set up from the gun to the compressor. An example: paintgun to one of the those little moisture barriers, to hose, to a dessicant dryer, to the compressor? Does this sound right? Also, what size of hose to get? I said this was going to be a noob question. I am wanting to paint inside my car, but am afraid of screwing it up just because there was moisture in the air. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
