When I make these posts and videos I really recommend that you watch the video and read the blog posts.
Why? because sometimes I miss things in the video and add them to the blog. Plus, with the written version… I have the ability to break things down so you can visually see it in front of you in a step-by-step format.
Are you ready to learn how to paint a car using single stage paints?
Acrylic enamel paint on car is a harder paint in general because you actually add activator to your mixture.
With synthetic enamel, you basically mix reducer with your paint and that’s it.
Both systems can be sprayed with HVLP or LVLP spray guns and we will talk about this in other posts and show you full length videos inside VIP.
If you started your job early on the first day and still have the energy to keep going you can paint your car that same night.
Like I said, the actual painting time is 60-90 minutes for 2-3 coats of enamel. Then you’re done. If you do this, you’re a stud.
This means you’re a hard core DIYer and have completed the “12 Hour Paint Job” Give yourself a pat on the back and a coffee or beer to celebrate.
If you feel burnt out and you want to call it a day, just have the car or truck all ready for paint and paint it the next day.
Wake up early 6-7AM and paint it. Have it all setup and ready so all you have to do is wax and grease, tack the car off and shoot it.
