Re: Paint Question. (mongoliandonuts)
just to tell u it wont turn out pretty if its ur first attempt
best bet is to buy some touch up paint from honda, gently sand with fine grit paper and apply a couple even coats and seal with some clear coat
that is if ur just talkin about lil touch up spots
if u need to paint a large portion, find a paint gun...best and imo easiest way to get good results
same idea, sand down as much as needed with fine grit, unless ur goin fairly deep, which in that case u can use bigger grit and work ur way to fine as u get closer to the desired depth
then tape ur car off and have at it with smooth even sprays, and let dry and go over with clear coat and ur good

theyre basic service is very shitty.. but if you get a high quality job there it should be okay but then its not cheap anymore and they are VERY expensive.
