Re: Painting A Car

you need a garage or shed to do it in...

get a gravity feed paint gun...can be had for about 60 bucks

a decent air compressor with a disposable in line air filter/air dryer

prime then paint...

you'll probably want a DA sander to smoother up the car before you start... if your going to paint the door jambs and under the hood then the job gets more intense...

mipa clear...thats how its pronounced but its spelled differenently..
its a single stage paint...i painted the nose on a mack truck and it came out pretty nice..i think the red cost 20 bucks a quart?...

with all that stuff you'll get a decent result..like i said i did the nose outside in the summer and it came out ok...

im probably missing stuff but thats the basics...

oh you'll also need lacquer thinner to mix the paint..

you can get all that stuff at duro paint on lexington ave in clifton...
