go to c-max get all grits of paper from 400 through to 1000 double quantities as you go up 1 gallon of paint is enough 1 gallon filler primer is fine you’ll need the thinners and hardeners too (get what they reccomend) sand the entire f\*\*\*thing with 400 get it to an even “flatness / dullness” then heres the “sesame street” version clean (whole car) prime (whole car) sand (whole car) clean (whole car) prime (most of car) sand (most of car) clean (whole car) paint top paint left paint right curse and swear wait 10-30 minutes clear top clear left clear right curse curse curse swear wetsand runs and defects (600 - 800) wetsand for finish orange peel removal (800) wetsand for finsh gloss(1000) buff buff buff wax wax wax done! ---
