As I can't afford to do a full respray straight away, I've decided to go down DIY route. There are panels that need some attention due to rust, such as wings, and bumper is all faded. I've done some research and it turns out you can get decent quality with using electric spray guns.
As my experience with painting are domestic, and spraying calipers , I have some questions and some things that I just want to check if I have the right idea.
Wings have some lacquer peeling off, so should I strip panels down to bare metal?
I did some reading about primers, base coats etc.
So, the order would be:
Self Etch primer first, then high build primer with some wet sanding to make panel smoother then 2-3 of base coat and then 3-4 clear coat?
I can't seem to find anything useful on polishing once clear coat has been dried, any suggestions?
Tips and suggestions appreciated.
