heh, dun worry knights... watch, when i attempt to paint, im gonna mess up pretty bad...
important steps to painting tho...
1. masking is the most important part, if u want the car to look good... take ur time... (i know i know, it's hard)
2. primer. yep, primer. if no primer, paint's gonna chip, and if it's uneven, it's gonna Look uneven.... with primer, it's gonna look less uneven.. what color you paintin?
3. (kinda) spray bottles... they work a little better than brush, cuz it'll be nice and even...
4. lotsa coats...3 thin ones...
5. clearcoat: makes it look more even, and most importantly, that nice shine
hope that helps!!
