From The Desk Of: Mario Goldstein "The Artist"
Date: Saturday, May 12, 2012

 

Dear Car Enthusiast,

Have you ever seen super-slick paint jobs on show cars?

... and ever wanted that kind of look for your own project car? Those kind of paint jobs cost tons of money and most of us just look and wish. Only a lucky few have the resources to get that dream look.

Ever wanted to give your car a new fresh coat of paint?

Or have you thought about learning spray painting but just don't have the time to do it?

Or have you ever wanted to do a simple car body work paint repair but have no idea where to start?

Well, all that's about to change.

Introducing SprayPaintSecrets™ Videos

Discover The Secrets of Custom Spray Painting and
Body Work Repair From Mario Goldstein, "The Auto Artist"

Hours of step-by-step professional car spray painting and bodywork videos
Answers all your questions, shows you the short-cuts & gives you the quick and easy way to spray paint your car.
No matter if you're an amateur or a professional, you'll learn the secrets of a quality paint job.
You will learn all the tricks of the trade and workshop techniques and secrets.

This is Mario Goldstein and I've spent years as an auto mechanic, making a decent living.

About five years ago, I realized that the real money was in spray painting and auto body work. I took a cut in pay at first, just to learn the skill. Since then, I've never looked back.

Today I have my own shop, and not to brag, but I make an excellent living doing something I truly enjoy. The guys in the shop have named me "The Auto Artist". I take that with a grain of salt, but I have to admit that it feels pretty good.

I'm going to share with you everything you need to know to make any car (or motorcycle or semi-truck for all that matter) look like show quality, but first, I want to straighten a couple of things out...

It looks like art, but its really a skill that anyone can learn...

Learning spray painting and bodywork repair isn't rocket science - if it was, I sure wouldn't have been able to succeed. It's a skill that takes preparation and practice, and that's really all there is to it.

So, if you think that those fabulous paint jobs you see that just knock everyone's socks off are the work of some artistic genius, think again. It's just some regular guy like you and me who's taken the time to learn how to do it.

If I can do it, you can do it. It only makes sense, doesn't it?

Yeah, Mario... But Doesn't It Cost A Fortune?

In a word, no. You can get the equipment to do a first-rate car bodywork paint job on your car for less than $200, and sometimes a lot less. Learning to do your own paint jobs can literally save you thousands of dollars. Whats more, doing your own bodywork repair means that you do not have to pay workshops to do what you can do.

But that's not the best part.

Once you've done your first paint job on your own car, people are going to ask you where you got it done. When you tell them that you did it yourself, they're going to talk to you about doing theirs. It's like night following day.

Are you starting to see the potential here?

Let me show you exactly how this works:

Badass Girls and Big Guns
My friend Elena is a "doer", meaning, she is the girl who will do things and try new things all the time. I so love and admire that about her. She is always taking classes and learning cool new things. This is something I've longed to be a part of, but most classes are offered on nights and weekends, which used to be when I work. 

Since getting the new job, I've been very excited to be able to take a few classes and gain some new skills. The very first one I did? Well, she was a doozy, that's for sure!

Elena and I had been talking about how cool it would be to learn how to shoot a gun. I'm not a gun enthusiast or anything, but I am curious. I've never so much as held a gun (except for a BB gun and various squirt guns) and it is just one of those things....I see it on tv and in the movies and I've been curious. Elena agreed that it sounded interesting and I did some looking. There is a gun club near my house, and I started there. Fortuitously, we saw that they had an upcoming event for women only, called Women on Target. As soon as I read the description, I knew it was for us. 

I really had no idea what to expect going in, five hours seemed like a long time, but as it turned out, it went so fast! We began with an introduction and then they basically released all the women to just wander around, hitting the different stations. One of the stations was the instruction room, which had long tables filled with different types of guns:

Gun Display by you.
What you see here is less than half of what was available. We could ask questions, pick the guns up, hold them, point them, and "fire" them--they weren't loaded. We learned the correct way to grip each gun, we learned how to stand, the different parts, all sorts of fun things. The instructors were amazing-friendly and helpful. They answered every question thoroughly and practically, by telling me an answer and then demonstrating with an actual gun and then, where applicable, making me try it myself. Like how to pull back the slide on the Glock-19 (that's the black handgun you see on the right side of the photo). The guy showed me, talked through it, then handed me the gun and made me try it. Then he corrected me and made me try again until I got it. Then he did the same for Elena. 

We spent a long time in here, learning as much as we could. 

We both also held an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle:
Me with the AR-15 by you.
This is actually the first gun I ever held. Is that thing badass or what? And, guess what? I actually SHOT that gun later in the day. More to come on that....

Here's Lane holding the same gun:

Elena with the AR-15 by you.
 
Here I am, holding a (sorry, can't remember the kind) .44 Magnum, which is Dirty Harry's gun:


Dirty Harry's Gun by you.
And let me tell you, that is one heavy gun! If you look closely, you'll see my wrists are bent at an awkward angle. When holding it in firing position (as above) it was so heavy it was dragging down my wrists--and it wasn't even loaded! But, it was cool. 

Here we are with our requisite "Charlie's Angels" picture:
Charile's Devils by you.

I decided to pose with the .44 Magnum (yeah, it was heavy, but it was supremely cool) and Elena is using a semi-automatic Kimber 1911. 

Then, after some time in here, we headed out to the ranges to actually SHOOT! We had the opportunity to shoot shotguns, rifles, and handguns. And we did them all. 

We started with rifles. Elena began with the .22 caliber rifle, which I shot after her, but we have no pics of:
Shooting her .22 Rifle by you.
We were shooting these at 25 yards onto a target board filled with balloons. (Think carnival games...with guns). Each station had individual NRA-certified instructors working one-on-one. It was cool, because they showed you how, let you shoot, and answered any questions you might have. I thought this was pretty easy, I didn't have trouble hitting the balloons. At one point, my instructor challenged me to hit a red balloon that was being overlapped by a green balloon. I was supposed to hit the red without breaking the green. I missed both targets--pressure, I tell ya!

While Lane was doing this, I had my chance to shoot the AR-15 (as pictured above). This was BY FAR, the loudest and toughest gun there. It had a lot of kick (recoil) when shot. The first shot nearly knocked me off my stool (but I still hit the target!). We had to wear foam earplugs AND noise-reduction headphones for this. The headphones had speakers wired into them so you could still hear the instructor. 

We only got to shoot ten rounds on this, but they showed us how and let us load the gun. Then we got to fire. I shot 7/10 on the target, which was a small metal square, 50 yards away. I was pleased with myself. Then, because my instructor was so nice, I asked her to take a picture of me pretending to shoot the gun, an action shot. She gave me two more bullets to load and took actual action shots of me shooting the gun:
AR-15 by you.
That could very well be my favorite thing I did there. I felt absurdly awesome shooting that gun. It was sexy and powerful. And, of those two extra shots I got? Made them both! For a 9/12 total on the AR-15. Yeah, I'm awesome. 

Next, we did the handguns. This was the part we were both looking forward to most. We had to wait, as this was easily the most popular station, but it was so worth it. 

I went first and my instructor, Ron, gave me the option between 3 different guns. A .22 semi-automatic, a .22 revolver, or a 9 millimeter. I told him I'd like to shoot them all, but he could pick the order. He started with the .22 semi-auto, as he said it would be the easiest. That is what Lane took pics of me shooting. The other two, she was already in her session. 

It went like this for each gun. Ron showed me the gun, demonstrated the grip and the sights and gave me a couple pointers: (and yes, he is wearing his own gun on his hip, most instructors were)


Showing me the Ropes by you.

Then, he would hand me the gun and talk me through it. 

Getting Instruction by you.
Then, he would tell me to fire. 


.22 Semi Automatic by you.
Yep, awesome.

After each shot, we'd talk about how I was doing, what to correct, etc. And I shot well. Didn't get one IN the bullseye, but on the edge of it and in the center range. Ron said if I shoot any gun like that, I could kill anyone I want because I'll always be hitting the center mass of a person. Lucky me. 

And then he'd just let me fire the rest of the magazine:

Ron Observing by you.























Then, we'd repeat the process with each handgun I shot. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. It was so liberating. I felt strong and powerful and tough. I also felt cool and sexy, which only reinforces that societies subliminal messages are working...but what the hell. 

The revolver was the hardest to shoot of the three. I think Ron definitely knew his guns because the three I shot got consecutively harder. I didn't like the feel of the revolver when it shot--too much kick. Plus, they're only accurate at very close range. (Or so I was told). 

Then I was finished and wandered over to watch Lane shooting. 

Pistol shooting by you.
The process was the same for her, but she shot different guns than me, I think. You'd have to ask her. 

Then, because I thought it would be cool (and I was right) I videoed her shooting:

Isn't that cool? It turned out much better than I thought, plus you can get an idea of what kind of kick we're talking about. 

After this, we headed back for our midday meeting, just to check in and answer questions, and they did a raffle. It was lame-ish, but for those who got good prizes, pretty cool. I actually got this sign, which was vaguely funny, but then I set it in the grass to shoot shotguns and forgot it when I was done. Oops, no more sign. 

Then we had lunch, the price included a barbeque lunch (pulled pork and brisket) with coleslaw, baked beans, chips and lemonade. It wasn't too bad. 

Then we lined up to do shotguns, which was the hardest thing to do. Aside from the fact that you are shooting at moving targets (trap shooting) these guns are freakin' heavy. 

My instructor for this: Dave, was the nicest man on the planet and an excellent teacher. I really understood, to the point that almost immediately I could tell if I was doing it right or not, by how it felt. He also said that if you shoot a shotgun correctly, you don't get tons of kick and bruising on your shoulder (a common problem...just ask my mom). I must have done it correctly, because my shoulder doesn't hurt at all today. My left forearm, however, is another story. 
The way I was supporting it, the entire weight of the gun was on my left arm-and did I mention these are heavy? Dave kept correcting me and making me try it again. I would and it would be easier each time. I hadn't yet hit anything, so he'd make me go "one more". Eventually, he said, "you're doing it perfectly now, do one more and you'll get the target" so I did. I missed. He said, "one more". I missed. He said "one more" and I said, "I can't, Dave, my arm feels like jelly, I'm not sure I can pick the gun up again." And he let me off the hook. Which meant I officially struck out on the shotguns, but apparently I have good form. 

Here's a couple pictures as well: 

Trap Area by you.
The field out in front of me (looks slightly patchy and brown?) is actually filled with broken pieces of the "birds" or clay pigeons we were shooting. They were a neon orange color and if you missed, it still shattered on impact. 


Trap Shooting by you.
And that was trap shooting. Hard, but still very fun. 

It was such an amazingly fun day. Elena and I both enjoyed ourselves immensely. I'd do it again, in a setting like that. I have no desire to take this up as a hobby, but having that one-on-one time with an instructor was priceless. Plus, the chance to try all these different things? So, all this, the guns, the ammo, the protective eyewear and earbuds, the lunch, the instructors, and the goody-bags they gave us...guess how much?

???

$40

Seriously! Isn't that a super-bargain? I sure thought so. I thought that would be worth it at three times the price. This was five-hours long (went by so fast) and we got to do so much. 

And now you know--watch out if you piss me off. Apparently, I'm a pretty good shot. Unless I'm holding a shotgun--but then, at least, I have good form. 





 
 
 

   
Arenas Avoids Jail Time, Goes To Jail
WASHINGTON (AP)—Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas(notes) avoided a jail sentence, but he’ll still have to spend two days behind bars. 

Arenas was sentenced last month to 30 days in a halfway house for bringing guns into the Wizards locker room. The head of corrections for Montgomery County, Md., a suburb of Washington, says the three-time NBA All-Star will serve his sentence at the county’s Pre-Release Center. 

Arthur Wallenstein says people assigned to the halfway house as part of their probation must first report to the county jail for medical screening and classification. In addition, Wallenstein says the department wants them “to see a jail and understand what they have avoided.” Wallenstein wouldn’t say when Arenas has to report, citing security concerns.
