ok lets start with i dont know a single thing about automotive painting at all... i know that there is single stage and mulit stage paint jobs and really thats about it! Im really good with spray paint and house paint and i have great eye site so i figure that i should be able to pick this up pretty fast. I was wondering if there is a book or intructive video I can buy to guide me in the right direction, like my questions are paint mixing, gun pressure, how to lay a multi stage paint such as base/clear? I do know that you need a good gun with a large air supply and a really good water filltration system and thats no problem but for a DYI guy like me I diffently cant just stick a down draft booth in my garage, my garage is 30x40x12 now i kno that is way to big of a area to paint in because its a large envierment that can contane dirt/dust and stuff like that so should i like use a tarp and section off one garage bay and wet the floor with a mist? So any advise would be cool guys!!


Thank You

check out barnes and noble, they have a bunch of how to books on painting. also just read around this forum you'll pick some things up. there's also a sticky full of questions at the top i think.

 

yea i did alot of reading on here and on the DYI.com site.... i guess im just gonna have to get the gun in my hand n figure it out..
