Hey All
Can someone do a write up or someting on repainting a car? do u need to spray primer or just sand it down and paint over it? can u give links thank you

 

Painting a car is pretty hard man. You need to sand it down at least to the bare paint. Slap bondo on the dents then when you think the car is good to paint you need to prime it up and look for anything you messed up on. And you will mess up! Then you need to repair the repaired parts then prime again look to see if you messed up so on aand so forth. Once the car is good then you need to prime then wet sand it down. Prime a bit more then wet sand again. prime a few more times. Then wet sand once more then paint. Once painted sand down AGAIN! Then respray Once the car is good to go. You clear coat it then wet sand again. Then clear cost once more then wet sand again then the car can be polished up! Goodluck.

 

yah its not like painting ur model car and yes u will need to spray primer i now have 3 coats on my car lol

 

stuff like this is (in my opinion) best left to professionals whom have all the proper tools and know the methods of paintin a car the right way. there are so many things that could go wrong. if the bondo isnt done right it can crack. if not sanded properly you could get ugly ornage peel. if somtin went wrong during prep, paint will chip very easily. i have helped paint an old monte carlo and i remeber sandin that fawker for about 5 days to get down to bare metal and that was with a few people workin on it. take my advice, if you really want it painted, the most you should do is just sand it down then take it to a pro to save you a couple bucks, but other then that, its pretty risky.
