As you may recall, Howard, I obsessed over the process.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5878&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=230

I have the basic kit, but I only need one pattern for my car. It looks like you have two patterns, so there's another $100, plus "inks."

The big kit is maybe overkill, however, the smaller extra roller helps to maintain pattern continuity in hard to get places, crevices, lips, that the big roller skips. But you can buy one separately.

The process is very forgiving. The base coat is permanent, but the grain is water-based. If you don't like the grain you rolled on, you can wipe it off with a damp cloth and make another pass at that segment with the roller.

If I were going into business or knew I would be doing other cars in the future, I'd get the big kit. I was unsure about my ability to do it and if it would look good enough, so I stuck with the basic kit.
