so after scrapping the car with a razor blade and sanding every edge with sandpaper, i finally got to paint my 1st car. It didnt go that bad i only had 2 little runs in the primer that were easy to get out. I cant wait till tom. so i can spray the color. its a gold with a flake in it. i def want to find a job when i get out painting so if anyone knows of any good shops around monroeville let me know.

how do you run primer? if you ran the primer running the paint will deff happen and with a flake or a pearl its going to streak bad.

The first ones are fun…sometimes it’s better to paint a few hoods/doors (spare parts) beforehand to get a feel for gun adjustment and painting at different angles.
