Dont be telling me how body work works, youve got alot to learn :P I've been doing it for a long long time since I got my EF years ago. The car you see above, I made thoes 1/4 pannels and welded them in. biggest achievment for me since my first HMT setup 3 years ago.

Re: Primered cars???
cool. i went to classes for about 4 years on it. worked in the ford body shop and worked for a custom car shop moldin body kits and paintin cars. base, clear, single stage, graphics. what ever u name 
. but u never know u might know more then me. i hated it with a passion thats y i don't so it anymore. plus i did body work on my last car for about 3 years straight before i finally painted it. then 2 days after it got painted someone offered cash for it and i took it. but not as much as was put into it so now. no more body work for me lol

Flat black paint, not actually primer, love it, had the body done on my 93 si, ran out of funds for the paint, flat black it is, looks sinister, people ask me when im gonna paint it, teh answer is im not, it gets dirty, dont care, scratched, dont care, i can find a million things better to do with the money required to get it actually painted right....car was free, i spent 400 on body, got free 16' bsa wheels with ectsa's from some parts car my uncle bought, springs from one of teh guys at the honda dealer that my dealer owns, spare d16z6 and tranny from the kid that works for me after his gsr swap. Yep, cheap ---- rules....which explains why this is my favorite place to be H.M.T kills......

Re: Primered cars???
yeah urban camo is sick but it can only be done on the right car. in my town there is a wrangler tha has the green black and brown camo but not as good. but when i decide that red really sucks bring on the grey prime cuz who cares anyway
