Answer 1

You have to buy Car Paint, but I doubt you can do it for cheap. I'm sure you can get basic car paint without the added premiums such as rust protection or natural paint damage caused by nature.

It's like painting your house, except it's harder work. What has to be done is a solution (The paint) is applied, either in a aerosol or bottled solution or by a wax solution and then use a towel to spread it around the car like your washing it.

Answer 2

Goooooooood Luck. Start by going to school, seriously. Then you will re-think this question.

You can buy a paperback at almost any auto supply house. It's usually called 'DIY' fundamentals on body repairs and paint. It will cost you about 15 bones and don't rush the job.

Hopefully you don't do the same as a HillBilly I once know. Jim painted a perfectly good AMC Javelin, that was white and just needed to be rubbed-out with No.7, green. Jim did it in the sun, outside and with 2 cases of spray bombs. God it was hideous...............be old Jimmy thought it looks great.

I've seen cars done with a paint roller too. How about you do some artwork? Try using that outdoor astro turf, just glue it on. My sister and her husband did their Toyota Corolla in an 'art-deco'. If you get to Austin, TX, you may see it. Every-one around them think it looks great. It appears almost every year in the street art show.

okay sand the car down all metal...buy auto primer grey.....find your color that you want in auto paint...... use auto clearcoat last it will protect and shine if you dont know how to spray evenly dont do it . also you need blue auto masking tape to cover windows and plastic trim and any thing you dont want paint on .......................1-sand 2- primer 3- paint 4- clearcoat....if you run any paint sand and retry or go to maco.....good luck
