Your in H-town. Would you do my car? I'll drive up there its only about an hour away from me.

I got a pretty sick idea for a black/rally dark grey paint scheme that I wanna do but don't have the know how on body/prep work/painting.

I would if I had a place to paint it. I used the Booth at my college. My garage is way to0 packed to even walk through it, let alone fit a car in. Its pretty much an episode of hoarders from all of my Dads junk.

Sanded the whole car with 220 then sprayed primer. Then I sanded the primer with 320, then wet sanded with 400-600-and 800 and then sprayed color and clear.

all of the paint was around 200 or so, Im not sure how much the sandpaper and everything was. But I actually live in Clear Spring about a mile from the Hagerstown Speedway.

I used a Sata Jet 4000 to paint my car at my college. But I bought a Blue Point gun from Snap on for $200 and I like it just as much. I use the $40 gun from Summit for primer and the Snap On for base and clear, works great.

Actually thats just from my crappy camera phone. Theres no fogginess at all. Must have been a glare or something. Ill have to put better pics up eventually. I havent buffed or color sanded anything yet, I dont have a buffer
