This thread *might* be useless without pictures but I'll give a whirl anyway.
My father-in-law has a 1982 Monte Carlo which is kind of like his step-child. He loves it (in a weird way), but doesn't drive it and lets it sit in front of his house constantly (rain, snow, sleet & hail). On one of the few times it got taken out someone decided to run into the driver door, which ulimately had to be replaced, but was a different color.
To make a long story short, my F-I-L took the car for a cheapie paint job at Maaco (I think he paid $500 for it). The paint job looks like a $500 paint job (but he lives 1000 miles away so I don't have pics).
My question is this...
If I bring my G110, some #80, #83, #7, NXT 2.0 and my bible, will I be able to make a lousy paint job look good? I have NO idea if it is a clear coat, single stage or even finger paint, but I know it isn't very shiny.
I figure, if nothing else, I can use the step child as a learning tool (for myself) but will it all be for nothing? How likely am I to make a mediocre paint job look as though my 3 year old painted the car?
Sorry no pics, but my zoom lens isn't good for 1000 miles and my F-I-L is about as tech saavy as the rabbits in my yard.

Bring over your full arsenal and give it a go. It may turn out very good.
