I have a question. What do you guys use to paint your cars. Or do you take it to a shop.

clean work bro.... im going to be painting my beast when i get back...... what did you use to sand it....... looks like air tool.

if you are going to leave it primered make sure you spray it with a primer sealer and or you will invite rust from with-in

you could easily get some automotive rattle cans. the new duplicolor cans are good bro now with the fan tip.... very quick decent paint job. your prep was goood and with 2-3 coats of duplicolor and a wetsand you will be on your way and its easy to respray once you bang something...also you wouldn't have to lock it with a sealer.

but eh its your project dude.. keep it up.. good work
