Actually, I know exactly what goes into painting cars,,, like I stated at the start of the article,,, if you want a good paint job get in done professionally!!!!! Because there is a lot of small detail work that takes a good while to do, there are ……... this is a DIY for small paint jobs, like the one I did....not a way to paint your entire car. Especially because I don’t think many people have paint booths at there house!!!!! Or knows about all the different kinds of rubbing compounds needed and the amount of time it takes to polish the clear coat……but I didnt think I needed to get into that because I am not painting my entire car, just a small area of the front lip black…… Oh, and read the last statement , helps to have some artistic skill. ( I am a artist so this kind of stuff isn’t difficult for me) plus your paint people are f-ing you over with taking that long to paint the car, And yes I got a very good paint job this way!!!!!
