[QUOTE="tim eqcustoms, post: 4520090, member: 592486"] well to make it come out the best way possible you would want to start by taking 180 grit to all the chips and feather them out so you can no longer feel them. then you would want to take and go out to 320 grit with the chips. you need to next take and wetsand the car with 600 grit make sure to sand evenly it should all look flat and even. make sure to get all the moldings out of the way and make sure to sand underneath the moldings. wash the car with a soap what does not have any of that carnuba crap in it that will cause fish eyes. you need to take than and dry it very well use a towel not a shammy. you need to use wax and grease remover and water base cleaner that you can get at any local bodyshop supplier. you will than take and use what is called an e-coat on all the bare metal spots that as well can be purchased at the bodshop supplier. what the e-coat does is ensure that the metal can not rust . make sure to pick out a halfway decent paint even lesonal which is a low end paint will do the job. as far as just leaving it flat black the base coat will need to be covered with some kind of clear weather it be gloss or mat clear or the paint will not hold up the the elements and weather and all that work will have been for nothing. well than all that is left is to mask it up wipe it down with the wax and grease remover and water base cleaner and start shooting. i am a professional so that is the correct way to paint a car follow all these steps correctly and you will have a nice paint job. remember dont rush it, it will take alot of time but in the end it will turnout very nice.
