i found this good site. it tells you everything that you need to know how to paint a car

if you want to paint you car you need paint.

pick a paint, and the tech sheet will advise what sandpaper to use, hardener, activator, everything.

a gallon should be enough to paint most vehicles

go to http://www.autobody101.com and search up on what kind of guns to use. the compressor you use must be able to support the minimum CFM of your gun.


oh and check out https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1962364

 

where do you get a tech sheet??

 

have you decided what paint you want to use yet?

for instance, i decided to use Omni paint. so i went to Omni's website, looked up the type of paint i wanted to use (MAE) and clicked the "tech sheet" link.
