Thread: Painting Question

There are so many steps and details, that I would recommend you look for a book or video detailing the process. It's a lot easier to comprehend if you actually see someone doing it, and easier to accomplish if you have a well-organized checklist.

If this is you first job, I would recommend using a light non-metallic color. It will not show imprefections as badly.

Do not attempt a candy color, or very dark color until you have some experience. They can be difficult and frustrating, even for the pros.

Don't believe that you simply pour the paint in a gun, spray it on, and it looks like a show car! Most beginners will paint one car, and when they find out how much work is involved, they never do another one. Be sure you are a guy with patience, and are not afraid of getting dirty and sweaty.

If you like doing things yourself, and like a challenge, this could be for you. Only one way to find out!

Sorry if I make it sound difficult, but I have custom painted hundreds of projects, and I am still learning something new every day.
