Tint classic cars.
If you enjoy classic cars, restoring them to their original beauty is half the fun of owning them. To ensure the car looks as nice as possible, the paint should be high quality and done carefully to avoid any cosmetic mishaps like cracking or chipping. Once you have your supplies, painting the car takes a few days. To keep the classic car looking authentic, researching the original paint colors will allow you to get your car to its original look.
Instructions
1. Make sure the car is in an airtight spray booth so no dust can get on the car during painting. You may purchase a booth or take it to a location that allows you to paint your own car within a booth.
Second Chance Garage (see reference 1) suggests that experts recommend three coats of clear, buffing or sanding and finish with three additional clear coats will get the coat looking satisfactory.
Tape down everything with painters tape and masking paper that you don't want painted. Make sure the tape does not cover any area you want painted, or else the finished product will not look complete.
4. Fill the spray gun with base coat according to the manufacturer's instructions. Put on an air mask to prevent breathing in paint fumes. Sweep the gun back and forth against the body of the car to get even strokes.
5. Sand down any drip marks or imperfections with a light-grit sand paper, and wipe off with a tack cloth between coats to make sure all dust is removed. Add a second coat of the base color to cover the sanded areas.
6. Add at least three clear coats to the car using the spray gun. Use the sweeping motion to ensure a uniform coating free of drips or other imperfections.
7. Buff out any "orange peel" or texture marks once the clear coat is dry, then add more coats of clear.2. Inspect the car to ensure there is no dust or debris. If so, wipe it down with a tack cloth.3.
