Jyardgirl, I would not advise it! :-) Some of the paint products out there today can mess ya up!

As far as having ideas, most people know what they like and don't like. My customers often tell me they are not artistic, but you can be sure they always know if they like something or not. They just don't have the ability to visualize things, or don't have the experience to sucessfully adapt ideas to their own car.

I have seen an increase in the number of people that I am doing concept drawings for, that have paint and body skills. That tells me they are willing to bring in another pair of eyes, or fill in the gaps in their own abilities, or that they want to see where the car is going, before they start putting paint on it.

I have an old customer who I have done several projects for. He can paint it himself, but he retired and moved out of the country. Since he can't find a local artist to help him, he is having me do drawings, then make flame patterns for him to transfer to the car.

Another guy in Nevada is having me help with a paint design he will do himself. He is a talented painter, and has done graphics, but they lack a little refinement. I am just taking his input and helping to step it up.

I guess my point is that you can find a way to get the result you want, even without giving up your own hands-on involvement.
