Priming your Car: Part 7 (Painting)

7. Painting (2 hours):
- Lots of cans of Primer
- A steady hand
- Patience

1. You're ready to paint. Now you need to make sure you apply the coat evenly. You can prep the spray cans by sitting them in warm/hot water for 5 minutes to allow for even paint flow. This should/will reduce paint spatter (I can't guarantee it because not every rattle can is created equal).

2. Shake the can. Start spraying light/even coats across the car. Make sure you stand at least 3 feet and spray in a left to right motion nice and steady. It helps to listen to music.



3. Continue spraying til you have completed your first coat. BE SURE NOT TO OVERSPRAY, you'll have run in some areas if you do, practice on small sections first then move onto bigger sections.



4. Once you have completed the painting process, it will dry up by spots, this is normal.

5. Repeat this process til you are satisfied with the prime coat.

6. Allow the paint to cure/dry overnight.

7. Once the car is dried overnight, unravel your masterwork!!! : )
