Funny you say "cold here in Michigan". I FINALLY got around to tryin to get some paint down earlier (since the move) and it took me 3 coats to get it right lol. Guess my next purchase will be a paint booth.
Welcome to the hobby and the forum, Bailey. LOTS of great guys (and gals) here that are more than happy to help you out in any way possible.
And Michelle, don't feel bad about not making the meetings, I haven't made it to one in almost 2 yrs. Haven't had a Saturday off in over a year.
