basically what i'm doing is tearing down a 1990 honda civic wagon. it's not the 4wd one it's just the regular one.

i have never done body work before. i've read a lot of the 50 dollar paint job threads.

1st question: should i sand my entire car down to bare metal?

2nd question: is there a specific brand of roller i should use?

i've also seen where using boat paint is a good idea.

if not, throw in your ideas on what brand of paint i should use and where to get them. (im going for black)

i've heard of mineral spirits, i can't find them at walmart. where can i get them?

other then that just throw in your ideas on what i should do/try. i'm just practicing basically i'll do it until things look right.

i'll have pictures up tomorrow and throughout the project.

feel free to state your opinion on anything.
