How to Paint a Car - Watch the Video

If this is something you want to attempt to do by yourself, this little video can give you a bird's eye view.



Here's how you do it:

PRACTICE makes perfect. First get a strip of metal about 2x3 feet, something that you can practice on. Using your scrap metal sheet, you need to scuff off any rust, uneven or rough spots with the sandpaper and rinse it clean with water and dry with cotton towel. Feel the metal and see if it is still rough or show sign of rough. Sand it until it is smooth.

Next, using the masking tape, tape up a section of the metal to practice masking areas that should not be painted. Use the masking paper and tape to form a circle. Once you have a section masked off use one of your rattle cans and with a sweeping motion side to side releasing the spray button. Before the end of the sweep, start to paint the metal. Once you have completed the circle, let it dry.

Check your work. It will surely take time but you have to make sure you are doing a quality job especially when you are actually doing it in your car.
