QUOTE(SlowCelica94 @ Dec 5, 2004 - 2:28 AM) Any more details? Like how to do it? [right][snapback]216932[/snapback][/right] Prep the car. Sand everything to be painted with a power sander. I like to start with 200 grit and finish off with 360+ grit. After that... wipe down the car with a damp towel. Some people go as far as washing the car... but I don't like to do that. A damp towel is sufficient if you take your time. First... after the cleaning... mask off sections you don't want to paint. Remove lights, mouldings, etc that don't require paint. I like to spray on a light coat of paint sealant. Helps paint stick and doesn't require a lot of dry time... If you go ghetto with spray cans... be sure you get around 10-15 cans of paint. With spray cans... you'll want to take your time, do small sections and do several coats... with some fair dry time between each coat. If you want a better job... get some acrylic or urethane based enamel. Follow mixing instructions and fill up your paint gun. You'll have to have an air compressor and a paint gun. Adjust till you get a flow that you like and you can control. Apply... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
