Thanks. No I'm not a paint/body guy. But I learned to use the Preval Sprayer for small jobs way back in the early 70s (if you can beleive that). Remember, I did NOT paint the entire car with this (just to be clear, again). Although it works really well for engine compartment, interior, jambs, and exterior touch up. I used a single stage paint, not a two stage (base/clear) because it's less work and can still be smoothed out with the 2500 grit wet and a good polish.
