How hard is it to paint a teg shell on the inside (inside, engine bay, trunk, etc)?

Car is going from Red to Silver.

Any suggestions?

 

Long time my friend if you do it.

 

Time is not an issue. Can it be done?

Sure can. I'm going to attempt it over summer.

 

good luck man. be carful.

 

Any advice when paint spraying?

 

Man its easy to do. Just take your time and dont overfucking load on the paint, do multiple thin layers, not a think piece.

As long as you clean the area first, tape it off and take your time. You cant go wrong. Make sure you get the appropriate paint

 

go for it.. I dunno about your handy skills, but if you have some common sence, it'll be easy. silver is a light color so.... it's harder to see runs or over spray ect.
I say go buy some single stage paint and clean the surfaces really good from dirt and oils. tape off areas, now spray just keep your hand moving when your spraying and you'll be fine.

I sprayed 5 completes and alot of little things. I learned on my own with single stage.

 

I'm going with the Dupont Silver Metallic. What sanding, sealer/primer and spray gun should I go with?

 

you shouldn't need to prime and to prep the surface just clean alot with lacquer thinner and scuff the surface with a 3m scotch pad, you can get them at an autobody supply shop.

The hardest part is reaching everywhere, especially the hatch area.

Here's mine
