Let's sticky this thread

That said, no clear coat on the body panels or is the clear coat included in the paint and not needed. Also if my hood is roughed up and needs paint I am assumming I'd be better off painting the entire hood instead of the part that is jacked.

Ohhhhh, lets not to forget to mention safety

[02Zetechse]

yes you would want to paint the entire hood as blending is a PITA

Hey Chris, I have been working with the auto air colors line of paints and I will be painting my entire car myself this summer so if you need to know anything on the water based paints let me know!! I would be glad to help if I can. Great job on the write up. :)

Short answer: Yes, however, it will be much harder this way. I would strongly suggest getting the proper materials.

Sweet! This thread got more action to day then it has in its whole life lol. Now I guess I need to keep adding to it.

so...... just gotta point out again. you used Duplicolor. LOL

anyway, I like this thread, especially your first write up because I really need that.

I think another part to add in should be correctly (or at least visually) removing rust and the proper stuff to use in order to keep it out and when you are doing body panels.

was that a question? I dunno. was it? LOL
