Default Re: First Time Painting A Car?

I painted my truck with a Harbor Freight HPLV spray gun. This was my first time.
I used clear sheeting to create a cocoon paint booth in my garage with an old box fan as my ventilation. I did all the prep work, shot the primer and two coats of enamel (no clear coat). Did all the wet sanding.
I was amazed at how good it turned out.
You Tube can be your friend here.
It was a learning experience and if I were 20 years younger I would do it again.
Warning: Do it when your wife is away visiting the grandkids for a few days the odor lingers a bit. lol
