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? |

Do not sand your car down to the metal. Its a waste of time and I almost gurantee that your paint job with come out ****ty. You'll put so many scratches in it that'll require putty to fill in. The only reason you'd have to sand down existing paint is if the previous paint didn't have proper adhesion and is peeling. Since you already sanded down before this primer it is probably too late for this. If ever a car needs to be completely stripped of paint and stuff it is done by sodium blasting which is like sand blasting, but a lot milder on metal.
