Home painted ,car guys.....

I've done some body work and 5 or more paint at home jobs, I've used base clear and single stage paints, heck I even painted a dodge Omni in my yard with flat black house paint using a wagner power painter. the single stage obviously is much easier. the key that I have found is get your body work right, the new paint will show bad body work instantly, especially dark colors. do your body work, be patient with it, if you get frustrated walk away and come back the next day that way once the paint is on it you wont regret not doing a better job on the body work. be sure and keep you air pressure right or you'll be sanding and repainting....ask me how I know this. have fun with it, its part of the hobby for do it yourselfers, always feels good to know you did something yourself, at least it does for me.
