How to Spray Paint a Car

I love the idea of having no monthly payment on a car loan. I hate the idea of driving an older, unattractive vehicle. Unfortunately, in order for me to keep monthly auto loan payments at bay, I have to drive a vehicle that needs a little updating. Fortunately, I discovered how easy it is to spray paint a car.

Sometimes all a vehicle needs is a little attention and a nice, new shiny coat to make it look showroom new. I thought that I might as well check out the various options in making my vehicle look as good as new. I found that professional paint jobs can be pretty reasonable but none are as cost-effective as getting the know-how to spray paint a car on my own.

I found out that I could pick up this great new hobby and have a great looking vehicle within a day or two. After reading up on some simple directions on how to spray paint a car I started on my project. This was not only a great way to spend a weekend it also turned out to be a pretty lucrative venture, too.

The first step that you take when you spray paint a car is to make sure that the surface is smooth. This is my least favorite part of the process but it is really rewarding to see all of the primer and sanding pay off with a smooth surface. This is a very important step when you spray paint a car because any bumps will show up if you don’t address them well.

And I made sure that the surface was as smooth as silk. The last thing that I wanted to do after the project was to have to remove the new paint and re-sand the surface. I also chose to spray paint a car in high-gloss paint so the bumps and dents would show up two fold. Making sure that you put in a lot of extra time to get things done right the first time is worth the extra hours.

Included in the smooth surface is the absence of any dust or residue. No matter how carefully you sand and no matter how smooth the surface is, it makes little difference if there is a bunch of dust when you spray paint a car. The dust will just bulk up and it will look like you never even sanded.

Now that I know how to spray paint a car, I take on side jobs completing these kinds of projects. I get a pretty good business and I’m getting really quick. I’m almost tempted to spray paint vehicles full time.
