To learn about painting watch Spike TV on Saturday and Sunday mornings. They have the programs Trucks,etc. and the guys always talk about how to get professional paint jobs including clear coat.

Is it just one coat or two and then spray the clear coat?:h I have never sprayed anything outside of a spray can, I have seen it done a few times, The air compressor I have is a new craftsman upright its will do good.
remember driver when you get started on the paint process dont shoot yourself in the foot by using to small of a compressor ,,you must maintain the cfm.((cubic feet per min.)) required by the cup gun you are using or the air pressure will drop off and you will screw up the finish with improper atomization of the paint and bare spots will drive you crazy,,read the instructions with the cup gun and it will tell you the correct cfm to maintain rememper you cant fudge here or the big screw up WILL come ,,,when you paint the primer on be sure to keep the paint wet but not to wet ,,I guess wht I am trying to say is dont paint it on dry or the finish coat will have dull spots in it but if youy put it on to thick the finish will have heavy orange peel spots,,I always go over the primer with a good scuff pad to remove the oversprey and then a good wipe down with a damp cloth to remove the dust (((dust will kill the finish))) You might want to put some fish eye eliminater in the finish coat to eleminate the little dust dippits that will appear in the finish ,,the store where you by the paint can explain this to you...I understand you are using basecoat-clearcoat paint which is a good idea as the base coat dries flat and it elliminates the runs and if you do have a run or a bobo they can be sanded out much easier than single coat ,,I have done a lot of spraying paint in my 69 yrs and the most important thing to remember is dont get in a hurry and prep prep prep is the word...
