I am preparing myself for my first paint job. I have the car mostly ready and most of the materials purchased. I bought a set of the Devilbiss guns from Eastwood (and it came with directions). I am looking for advice on which areas of the car to paint first, in what order, panels to take off, etc. I am planning on painting the trunks, engine compartment and door jams as well. I already have the doors off. It would be great to do all of the painting in one day. I would also be interested in painting techniques as far as top to bottom or left to right when working on a panel. I obviously have some practicing to do before I slap the paint on. Again, all input is appreciated. I am planning on doing a base/clear. Here are a few shots I pulled off one of my other threads. They don't show much of the body, but it is basically primered in spots and the original single stage in others. I did have the rear reflector holes sealed up and a new battery tray installed. Thanks guys!

Ok, so it seems I will be laying down a sealer coat first. No need to sand the sealer coat, correct? I have not bought the paint(s) yet...
Anyone ever use UTech paints? http://www.akzonobelcarrefinishes.net/defa...395&pid=397 The guy who did the body work recommended it. That is the primer that is one the car now. He said it was inexpensive, but good quality (basically just repackaged Sikkens). Thanks for all of the input guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hey, it's Friday! Looks like I will start sanding tonight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Anyone in Charleston, SC want to stop by and help sometime this weekend? I am going to cut a hole in the wall tonight for a window unit in the garage. It is damn hot/humid out there these days! |
