Help me paint my car

hey guys i have a 92 fastback and its painted flat black. I want to repaint the car my self.I know i have to wash the car with soap water to get the dirt out of the paint

Can somebody tell me the what sand paper grits i should start with and end with?

DO i wet sand it?

help will be appreciated thanks

I'd recommend finding yourself a sanding block, and picking up strips of 220 grit sandpaper.. and wetsanding is for after the car is already painted..

What do you plan on painting it with?

paint gun...so should i just get 220 sand paper and sand it down with a sanding block...go in staight lines>

I plan on takin off all the doors hood hatch and panels

usually when youre sanding with a block, you want to sand in opposite directions... sort of in an X shape; diagonal in one direction with the block parallel to the ground, then in the other direction, one diagonal stroke after the other


and you dont really need to take the doors, hatch, and everything off.. just strip then scuff the door jams and truck jams and it will save you a lot of work

is that your car? did u rattle can it?

thanks man more help would be appreciated

paint?

Make sure your using a high pressure gun and filter with it. Spray staring from the top about a foot away from car. Paint your hood and doors first to get some practice you dont want any runs in your paint. Also mixing the paint right without mixing different brands together is important as some dont agree with each other and throw the paint job off. Tell you how to wet sand it once youve painted it.

step one: call me
step two: drive to wisconsin
step three: get it done the right way

I agree with LongGrain. If you dont even know what grit to use I recommend letting someone do it for you or at least pay someone to work with you. It all depends on how good a paint job you want.

Agreed. Have him paint your car, maybe you'll pick up some pointers along the way..

yeah but right now i really cant afford it.But if you wanna paint it go ahead i can possibly pay u $100 bucks let me know i just need to buy a wiring harness for the engine bay to drive it so i can possibly drive it to you if you can get it all done in 1 day...Im down to do it if your down to do it from sunrise to sun nset...Id be glad to do it.Would ease so much stress';/

wts ur number so i can call u

Honestly, there are countless writeups available on the internet with details, pictures, supplies etc.
If you dont even know about wetsanding, you should probably start researching and reading more. Stop being lazy.
