I am going to attempt to paint my car this fall. I say attempt because if I fail miserably with the primer coats I will seek professional help! Most of the car looks accessible except in the front trunk area under the headlight buckets behind the front cross brace. Looks pretty tight in there. How do you get that area painted? I imagine a small detail gun helps, but is there anything else?

Thanks

I've never personally shot these, but if you wanted to get paint into the bucket you could put a vacuum vise from a shop vacume in the bottom of the drain tube (underneatg) .
This would get you good airflow. You may kill your filter but for as much area as you'll need to cover it may help get better coverage.
