i have a 1994 honda del sol.. its time for a paint job. i want to do it myself. one problem. i dont know anything about painting. as far as equipment goes i know i will need a compressor (which i have), paint gun, painting mask, mixing sticks and..... idk what else......? but one thing that really gets me is paint and clear coat. i seen complete painting kits on ebay such as eBay Motors: Candy Apple Red Urethane Basecoat Clear coat Kit (item 370102825830 end time Nov-06-08 19:20:00 PST) ..... idk what is better... do they have different types of base coat.. like water base,oil base.....idk if so what is better.. would u recommend candy apple red for a beginner painter (to be honest im a fast learner so i dont think paint will be much of a problem after like 20 min ill practice before hand.) how much paint will i need..... and what do i need.. i hear of all these hardeners and activaters... what is for what.. is hardner for the clear coat and activator for base coat ?? also ratios tha i will need to mix things up. also could u give me the steps i would be doing this in ? how many coats will be applied.. i know that i would have to sand the old surface for the new paint to stick. do i need to primer the whole car? how many coats of base coat would be applied and is there a thing as to many base coats applied. ? would i have to sand bettween each base coat? like first coat. let dry then sand then second coat let dry then sand then 3rd coat ?? idk how it works.... and how many layers of clear coat and would i sand between each layer applied.??? all the help and input i can get would be great plz hellp anyone. thank you all...
