I allready have the quarter panel extensions off and was planning on painting them seperate. I was also planning on taking the doors and hoood off and paintiong them seperate. I am leaving the trunk lid on cuz I think that will make it easier. I allready have the front bumper off cuz of body work so I will leave that off and of coures take everything ellse that can be taken off off. does that sound good so fare.
I would go ahead and take the trunk lid off too, it will be much easier to spray the underside of it if it's off the car.
and what kind of black undercoating do you recomend.
Any kind is fine. Just go to a parts store and buy some black rubberized undercoating. Any brand is fine. Just make sure it's of halfway decent quality so the nozzle doesn't go to shiznit on you. That causes a mess! Do it after the paint job has dried completely. Make sure you let the undercoating dry for quite a while, also. It stays soft for quite a while.
and I got A paint question. is ppg paint good to use. thats what I have been told to get but I wanted to check with you guys first. and what is etchine primer. I know it is different then primer but how.
PPG is a very high quality paint.
I recommend using a primer filler for the guide coat/block sanding process. Do the major body work before hand if you like, then spray 3 heavy coats of primer filler. But before you do this, spray all bare metal parts with self etching primer. It will help the primer filler stick to the exposed metal. I personally prefer using gray primer, and a black guide coat. I think it's the easiest to see imperfections in. One time is usually enough for the guide coat/block sanding process on an initially straight car. If it was a pretty rough car to begin with, two times is necessary, maybe even three. Most people don't pay enough attention to this process, and that's why most people have waves and small dings in their freshly painted cars...
Take your time, do it right. It will be worth it.
