Wow, so much great info, thank you all so much.
After CVI, i shall procrastinate no longer. I have a few questions...
1. 5'8", 200 lbs - seems like ATA is the way to go, thoughts? Who does black ABS if i go that route? I'm more concerned with overall quality than price. And i dont mind a project.
2. Regarding painting HIPS - whether i go white or shadow, what does the painting process entail? A sprayer? Just a brush? I know its kind of silly, but i live in an apartment and dont really have a garage to make a mess in. Shld i forget the painting and just do ABS?
Thanks a lot everyone.
