I am going to paint my car by myself but i got some questions.
What kind of paint to use? Ive seen Arcrylic, Enamel, and Latex. I am confused, they are all used on autos, but which is the best, and why? And any advice on how to paint or anything? Yes i am using a airbrush, and i am getting my paint from house of kolor. Any advice on how many coats and how many clear coats? |

This is what you should do: DA the car with 320grit. Then reprime it with a 2 part urethane primer. I used Omni brand 2K primer (ppg). 2 coats of that and you'll be straight as far as priming it goes. Before you do anything though, make sure there are nooooo sanding scratches in the work. If the last grit of sandpaper you used was 80 or 36 grit, you do have scratches. In that case sand them out with 180, or use a primer that can fill em like pxr440 said. At any rate finish of with 320 before you reprime.
