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? |

i have the car primed now with, over the counter primer. just your basic $4 a can hot rod primer, dulplicolor. So are u saying i have to strip it again, or can i re prime over the old primer? or do i even have to re prime it?.
I stripped the car down to bare metal just over the summer and primed it. so im thinking it should be good, maybe just prime over it again and wet sand. im going with just a black color paint. so should i use just a base coat black, and then a few coats of clear coat? |
