Often people ask me, "Mr. Brain Guy, what do you do in your spare time?"

Simple... I like to wreck my car, then figure out how to fix it.

http://www.easypaintyourcar.com/CarPainting/miracle.html

Explanation: Last November I repainted my 21 year old Honda Civic
Hatchback. I was so happy and proud of my work.

Then a month later, I slid on the ice into a person and their lovely
SUV that they had decided to stop in the middle of a main
thoroughfare-

- all without having their foot on the brake so I could
see that they had stopped.

You see, the car in front of them had stopped to allow two jaywalkers
to cross in the middle of the block. How nice.

I slid on black ice, into their car, the car in front of them that
stopped for the jaywalkers quickly sped away, unscathed, and the car I
hit, slammed into a parked car-- belonging to the jaywalkers.

Well, everybody was actually pretty civilized about it, and I managed
to drive home. None the less, my car was essentially totally wrecked-
you can't do much damage to a 21 year old car without the insurance
company just kissing it off completely for a couple hundred bucks.

Anyway--- I wondered at first "UH, dumb. Why was my brain clicked off
so that I let this happen?!?"

Yes.... answer?

COSMIC CORRECTION!!

A mistake, that in the big picture-- is no mistake at all.

Typically called "The Silver Lining".

After decades of Brain Self-Control, I've discovered this interesting
thing--- if you can click forward-- you will see that there are
nothing but Cosmic Corrections-- everything indeed, has a silver
lining if you can manage to see beyond your reptilian brain ego, your
limited paleo-mammalian emotions.

The universe has this interesting NEUTRAL thing about it-- you can
take any old rotten thing, and judo flip it into a miracle.

And so--

Wrecking my car became a fantastic oportunity to share my knowledge
about car painting and repair-- and to show, even when things look
dreadful, you might just end up with something better than when you
started--- and so it was with my Honda

A You-Niverse of Plenty
Mood:  happy
I just did a $3000+ repair job on my car in January-  for about $300 in parts and paint.

Saved my car. Saved my bank account....  You can do it  - see what I did- Easy Paint Your Own Car




Today's Cerebral Cermon: A You-Niverse of Plenty

Your brain, and how it works, is going to be more important than ever during these next four years--

It's survival of the fittest BRAIN in 2008-- as Apes With Pencils have long ago needed a lot less muscle and a lot more cleverness in order to survive in the "modern age".

Who knows what is in store for us between now and 2012-- either the end of the world, the beginning of a new golden age, or more of the same. (How's that for covering all bases?)

In the US, the economy looks bleak-- so The Law of Attraction will be more important than ever.

Saw Frank Zappa on an old episode of Saturday Night Live-- singing "The Slime"-- a song about TV controlling the population. It's truer than ever.

What is MAGNETIZING you? Quality of Life or Quantity of Crap?

If your brain pulls you in the wrong direction-- it may be over a cliff with all them other lemmings.

If you have your Advanced Brain Radar turned on full blast- with your AMYGDALA clicked forward sending powerful lightning surges of creativity, intelligence, problem solving, and ESP forward into your Amazing Frontal Lobes (yeah, Not So Amazing Randy, it DOES exist- do your homework)-- then you'll magically normally find yourself in the right place even at the wrong time.

How do you know if you are using MORE BRAIN POTENTIAL instead of squeaking by on a single non-rechargeable dying 1.5 Volt AAA Brain Battery?

Easy-- monitor your emotional feedback thermometer, located halfway between your ears- inside.

Look for LONG TERM PLEASURE without hangover. That's the ticket, that's the right vector- That's the direction for your permanent Natural Powered Lithium Neural Cell.

Listen for ego greed grab suck geiger counter static indicating Reptile Brain De-Evolution. Dr. Frankenstein is gleefully waiting on every street corner to perform a permanent lobotomy at your expense

Hear that Mass Market Corporate Media Bandwagon of Promise comin' down the lane?

RUN!

THE REAL SCOOP ON PAINTING YOUR CAR

The reason I learned how to paint a car is because I owned a rare collector car that would have cost me $3000-$4000  minimum to have the body work and paint done- and it needed it. AND, I could not afford this.

So, I contacted one of my friends, perhaps the best expert on fiberglass repair and body painting anywhere, Mr. Vic Cooper in Denver. He regularly repairs and repaints the most expensive, the most exotic passenger and race cars, from Lotuses to Lambos to hot rods. He taught me how to do this over a long period of time. Since I am a writer and film maker (and he and other experts I knew are not), I translated everything I learned from him into a form that people could easily learn from right off the web. I further got regular advice from an exceptionally good paint shop in Denver that specializes in automotive refinishing.

I spent months learning what works, and what doesn't work- and when I was done I had done my first car, my white Lotus that you see on the book cover. It turned out perfectly. And the method I used can be applied to any vehicle, fancy or plain, big or small, boat or car, truck, bike, or motorcycle.

 

There are tons of BAD books and DVDs that look good on the surface, but in practical use were complicated and had stuff in there that was unnecessary. I wanted to make material available that WORKED as advertised, and was not overly complicated or poorly written.

You may find yourself in a similar position looking at painting your vehicle- but without having done this previously, or have done it making many mistakes and not having things turn out so good. You may not know anyone who knows how to do this, or has the time to show you.

I will show you, because it is my business teaching people- and I've been a teacher for 35 years.

 

If you decide it is best to paint a car yourself, you will need a spray gun, a compressor, the paint, some miscellaneous small tools, sandpaper, and a certain amount of patience. You can do it in a car port, garage, paint booth, or even in your driveway- you decide what is best for you.

You can borrow or rent the gun and compressor and save money that way, and pay about $100 for the paint and sandpaper, and if you read the instructions you can come up with a decent paint job on most cars. You will also need odds and ends which you may or may not have, light solvents, gloves, an air respirator, and other small items necessary for painting.

Or, you can spend about $250 on the gun and compressor, own it permanently and do lots of things with it for the rest of your life- like paint your house, air clean stuff, run other tools with it, etc.

If you have a special car or a collector car, plan on spending a lot of time sanding and re-sanding, and fine sanding, and polishing, and correcting your mistakes, and doing body work.

If you don't have an extra $3000 sitting around, this may be your only choice- AND you can do it, and come up with an absolutely gorgeous job. I will show you how, and my methods come from THE BEST EXPERTS possible.

If you just have an old car and would rather do it yourself than spend $300 or $400 at the budget shops for a mediocre job that they will do, you can do it quickly and end up with a finish as good if not better than such shops, and spend a minimum amount of time doing it- although you will still need the materials and equipment you don't already own, and a place to do it.

You can get the download or DVD (it is dirt cheap), or just read through the basics on this page  and get a good idea of what you will need to do.

Okay....you decide. No bull here. The best painting adventure to you! Enjoy and do a great job as you paint a car!
