If he will In­ quire of several paint «tores and auto­ mobile finishing «hops. Before trying to palut the whole body and chassis It Is wise to take off a door and try your hand on that la-fore going any further.

California-Oregon Power Co i ■‘Lost summer the appearance of his car began to get on the owner s nerves, and he decided to have It re­ painted. lie took It t<> n lo.nl"tito- mobile paint shop, where It wns found that the original finish was «< badly cracked that the surface had to be removed. Then eight coat« of paint, with n final coat of vnmish. were put on. The co-t was something like $«•'. and prices Imve gone up appreciably since tl-en.

Notwithstanding this care, the lii«<-t of the body gradually began to disap­ pear a« the first season went by and at the end of the second year ft had almost a slate color. “Several garage owners told me that the finish could be renewed by the ap plication of a little varnish, and I found upon Inquiry that the automo­ bile painters were asking $2* for the | Job.

A slight breeze accelerated the drying process, nnd the following day I put on a sec­ ond coat, each time putting a coat of black enamel on the chassis. “fine of the amusing Incidents In connection with my first undertaking a« an automobile painter occurred when my neighbor, who was working In his garden, stopped now nnd then to watch my progress.
