What kind of compressor and paint gun do you have? I’ve painted my car a couple times and it has been coming out like shit. I second time I think the body shop supply place gave me the wrong reducer. What brand/type of paint did you buy?

Wow that’s pretty cheap, I payed probably $300+ just for the shitty Nason. That was in Schenectady Autobody Supply, I think now I’m going to get my supplies from the place near Everette Rd in Albany.

you dont have to prime your car before you paint it…all you have to do is scuff up your old clearcoat…use 800 gritt wet sand paper and thats all you have to do before paint…unless you have to use bondo then you have to seal it with primer…and you can use a spray can primer for that… and im not sure if i said it but i got paint, reducer,clear and hardener measuring cups, filters,and stiring sticks for 200…
