Yeah forgot, the wax thing you have to wait a while. I should have said something since we were always told this in school but I wasn't thinking too well. Anyways, get that book I told you about and it will help you to get started. It takes practice to be able to paint a car. Not that I can really say too much since I haven't done much of this but I DO know the basics and what to do and not to do.
Good luck!
