Paintshop and welder

[eli.wooley]

I don't understand why we have to wait so long for the paintshop to be unlocked, and to use the welder.

The logical option would be to keep the system as is, and if you want to have the car painted or the body welded/repaired then give that option to someone else and it costs a lot more $$$ to do the job.

Another option would be to have a welding skill level, when XP can be spent on, in parallel with general repair skill. You try to weld a repair and fail it decreases the body condition and value and it has to go to the guy above costing more $$$. A successful weld would yield XP..

You could do something similar with spray painting. Just because you have the money to buy a spray booth or welding gear does not make you an instant perfect welder, body repair and spray painter. The gear would cost $$$, the skill would have to be learned.

I'm on my second profile and got over 20 hours in it and only level 22. I'm already ready to restore cars with a balance of 300k but I agree we can't fully restore cars until level 35. The wait to do that kills

*treading carefully !!

firstly i relate to you, but honestly i kinda like the grind aspect, mainly because i prefer doing the jobs rather than full upgrades when it comes to permanent gameplay.

once you move into 100% strip/rebuilds its all the same, and for the life of me i cant understand why the previous grind (aka jobs) is any less of a grind than fully stripping ever bloody car and rebuilding it.

it removes all the need for tools, and its always the same procedure

flipside i would outsource the entire rebuild minus the bodywork and decoration lmfao

Not a bad idea for a temporary fix. Outsourcing paint job and welds, interior detail or wtv is unlocked late game. Sure it wont be 100% profitable but still better than the current ungratifying system.

I personally cheated xp and earned money on my own to avoid the lack of realism.

Each person likes to play the way they like. I would like freedom to swap between doing jobs and restoring. That's the main problem at the moment, no freedom.
