Painting Car Bymyself, Any Sugestions Options

[sapperk]

I am going to paint my car by myself but i got some questions.

What kind of paint to use? Ive seen Arcrylic, Enamel, and Latex.

I am confused, they are all used on autos, but which is the best, and why?

And any advice on how to paint or anything?

Yes i am using a airbrush, and i am getting my paint from house of kolor. Any advice on how many coats and how many clear coats?

you only have to options in terms of the type of paint. You can use acrylic enamel or base clear. I would go with a base clear, but if you have never painted before, you'll have a difficult time spraying the clear. The prep work has to be perfect, it will make a ****ty paint job look good and a good paint job look excellent. When you rent a booth to paint, try to rent a full down draft booth. It'll be hard to find, if not make sure its semi-down draft. Anything less than semi down will leave you with a ****ty finish. Use an epoxy primer. ****ty primer may have a chemical reaction with the paint and you'll have to repaint the area. Spend the extra money and do it right. 1 or 2 coats of base should give good coverage. When spraying clear, depending on what brand you're using while decide how many coats. I like a deep finish so 4 coats was what I went with. But they were all wet coats. Do some research on the different spray techniques. This is the hard part. Some clears are harder to spray than others. In general the better clears are hard to spray but give the best finish if done right. Watch out for orange peel. Another note about the spray booth is see if you can get an oven baking system.
