Well once i get my new mirriors and sunroof i plan on getting the car painted. i want to change the color but cant afford the couple grand it will take for it to do that. so this is what i want to do.

dont they just sand that bitch down and then paint over it once it is smooth? im sure i can do that b/c my dad has a auto sand thingy.

then they prime it and paint over right?

question is they do that or do they sand blast it?

 

I think they just sand it down, but I'm not sure...

 

i can do the sanding part if that is all they do then prime it. i think all i need to do is keep it smooth and make all the red paint disapear!

np hope it helps you out

 

painting the car yourself will cost you a couple hundreds plus, all the time wasted with trial and error. if you've had no experience painting before without the right enviornment and tools i don't recommend doing it... if you shop around there are some nice stage one paint jobs for 400-600... well at least around my area there is.
