NEW: GOOD HVLP Spray Gun Technique
If you've gotten this far in this web site you've now realized that the most efficient way to paint your car is using an HVLP spray gun and compressor- as opposed to the brush and sand and brush and sand and sand and sand and sand.....till the cows come home $50 Paint Job Myth.
Not only will the paint last WAYYYYYY longer, but it will look better as well, and require a fraction of the work-- and cost about the same to do it properly.
Below: My own 1986 Honda Civic HVLP low cost painted car (under $65 for paint), painted in a simple outside carport in 70 minutes, body repair done in one day previous, NO PAINT SANDING necessary:
There are a couple of IMPORTANT things to keep in mind when spray painting and using catalyzed urethane paints:
1) ALWAYS ALWAYS wear a good charcoal mask at the very least when spraying.
Other than holding your breath, whenever you spray paint- even if it's from a can- there is no way to keep this stuff out of the most delicate part of your body- your lungs. Urethane is the most durable car paint there is, but in order to make it sprayable, very very strong chemicals are used. And make no mistake, these are not good to breath in, ever, not even in small doses.
People who spray cars for a living use FRESH AIR vented hoods and masks, because long term exposure to painting chemicals will kill you eventually. So for people who do this a lot-- you have a choice, get an expert fresh air system, or die.
Also keep in mind that you will absorb chemicals through your hands and skin very readily, so painting with a brush or roller does not protect you if you are applying solvents to clean off your hands--- wear disposable gloves and keep solvent use to a minimum. Further, you can also breath in vapors from rollers and brushes and cans as well.
If you only paint urethane once in a blue moon, you can get by with a GOOD double charcoal filter mask, available for $15-$30. This must have a rubber portion that goes over your nose and mouth, and seals PERFECTLY and tight. I am NOT talking about those "surgical" dust masks that cost under $3-$7. These will definitely not protect your brain and lungs.
Even the double charcoal filter masks are not made for strong toxic gases, and thus, I do not recommend these when using urethane unless you are painting in a well ventilated area to begin with, AND that you LEAVE the painting area immediately after you are done working, AND that you do not do regular painting using this kind of mask. Okay? Okay. No paint job is worth wrecking your health for.
2) Practice your HVLP spraying technique first for a smooth painting finish.
If you have never sprayed car paint with and HVLP gun before, it can be a bit tricky. Practice on a vertical surface first to make sure you can lay the paint down smooth without having it drip.
If you spray the paint on in a misty fashion, it will not dry smooth, and end up "matte" looking, and require a lot of finish sanding to get it smooth- and then you are not much better off than putting it on with a brush or roller.
NOTE: A slightly less than perfectly smooth paint texture may actually be desirable if your surface has a lot of defects and dents in it that you don't want to take the time to do a lot of body work on. If the paint is perfectly smooth and shiny- you'll in fact see every ding and dent in the surface that you've left. So in the cases of cars with lots of dings that you don't want to take the time to remove each one, mist the paint slightly by putting on lighter coats that don't self-level so much.
In most cases, however, you want the end result to be shiny and smooth, and this is the case if you've done really nice prep work and repair.
If you spray the paint on too heavy, it will be smooth-- AND runny, and you'll have drips on vertical surfaces.
If you do it JUST RIGHT, the paint will look WET and will SELF-LEVEL-- i.e. the surface will "run together" and create a nice smooth surface, that will require no sanding, or little sanding if you are going for a glass smooth surface.
SO- practice first, don't be in a rush. With five or ten minutes practice first, you can apply just the right amount of basecoat and clear that will be thick enough so that it levels out smooth, but not so much that it drips and runs.
3) Distance and Overlap- A) Hold your gun about 12"-15" from the surface. B) ALWAYS keep the gun moving, do not pause in any one spot, otherwise the paint will "puddle" then run. Paint past any edges. C) Overlap each stroke about 50%
4) Preparation is key: The final job is only as good as your prep-work.
In the Honda example above, it actually took more time to mask the car than it did to paint it! The rust was removed the day before, and body filler applied. The entire car was sanded with 220 and a rotary electric sander, then gone over by hand with 400 to remove any traces of sanding marks left by the electric sander. No primer was necessary except over filler and bare metal exposed during rust removal. To get a perfect look at how perfect the final job will look, use primer over the entire car, and view in angled light very carefully. Repair or leave as-is- it's up to you how perfect or acceptable you find the imperfections in the surface.

FOREWORD How To Paint Your Car- Fun! First of all let me say I am delighted that this page has proven so popular, and that it has been the #1 page on Yahoo and Google (when it WORKS) for the search "HOW TO PAINT A CAR" and similar searches for several years now. (I recommend the Yahoo search engine these days).
The page has LOTS of unsolicited testimonials to show what people like you are getting from this page and my materials-- so you know this is REAL, and really USEFUL info on how to paint your car. There have been literally dozens, perhaps hundred of How To Paint Your Car web sites that have sprung up since I first published this page in 2003. Unfortunately for the budding person interested in learning how to paint your car, many of these sites are poorly done, some impressive looking ones contain obvious mistakes , others leave out things "till next month" (!) and the worst thing, is virtually most pages showing up near the top of search engines are primarily commercial advertising platforms. You won't have to suffer through the same bad advice I was subject to when I first started. Congratulations! If you find it helpful, then you can get further inexpensive and totally affordable online instant download information and/or the DVD. I help you, you help me survive, and I keep improving this page and materials. Human to human here, :-) Make sure and read my additional notes at the bottom. You can end up with a far better paint job than your local cheap OR expensive outside service. Why? Because you may care more than the actual guy working on your car for $12.50 an hour. Above all, have fun, and enjoy your finished paint job~! We have now created a very practical and foolproof 80 page illustrated manual (color photo version download), 62 minute online video download, and/or DVD/CD that you may purchase and keep with you out in the garage and watch on your computer and/or DVD player - so please consider picking one of these up. These will be priceless for guiding and helping you. (I keep the price inexpensive, because these days, everyone is eager to save a little money where ever they can.) So, enjoy!

THE REAL POOP ON PAINTING YOUR CAR
The reason I learned how to do car painting is
because I owned a rare collector car that would have cost me
$3000-$4000 minimum to have the body work and paint done-
and it needed it. AND, I could not afford this. So, I contacted one of my friends, perhaps
the best expert on fiberglass repair and body painting anywhere,
Mr. Vic Cooper in Denver. He regularly repairs and repaints the
most expensive, the most exotic passenger and race cars, from
Lotuses to Lambos to hot rods. He taught me how to do this over
a long period of time. Since I am a writer and film maker (and
he and other experts I knew are not), I translated everything I
learned from him into a form that people could easily learn from
right off the web. I further got regular advice from an
exceptionally good paint shop in Denver that specializes in
automotive refinishing. I spent months learning what works, and what
doesn't work- and when I was done I had done my first car, my
white Lotus that you see on the book cover. It turned out
perfectly. And the method I used can be applied to any vehicle,
fancy or plain, big or small, boat or car, truck, bike, or
motorcycle.
There are tons of BAD books and DVDs that look
good on the surface, but in practical use were complicated and
had stuff in there that was unnecessary. I wanted to make
material available that WORKED as advertised, and was not overly
complicated or poorly written. You may find yourself in a similar position
looking at painting your vehicle- but without having done this
previously, or have done it making many mistakes and not having
things turn out so good. You may not know anyone who knows how
to do this, or has the time to show you. I will show you, because it is my business
teaching people- and I've been a teacher for 35 years. If you decide it is best to paint your car
yourself, you will need a spray gun, a compressor, the paint,
some miscellaneous small tools, sandpaper, and a certain amount
of patience. You can do it in a car port, garage, paint booth,
or even in your driveway- you decide what is best for you. You can borrow or rent the gun and compressor
and save money that way, and pay about $100 for the paint and
sandpaper, and if you read the instructions you can come up with
a decent paint job on most cars. You will also need odds and
ends which you may or may not have, light solvents, gloves, an
air respirator, and other small items necessary for painting. Or, you can spend about $250 on the gun and
compressor, own it permanently and do lots of things with it for
the rest of your life- like paint your house, air clean stuff,
run other tools with it, etc. If you have a special car or a collector car,
plan on spending a lot of time sanding and re-sanding, and fine
sanding, and polishing, and correcting your mistakes, and doing
body work. If you don't have an extra $3000 sitting
around, this may be your only choice- AND you can do it, and
come up with an absolutely gorgeous job. I will show you how,
and my methods come from THE BEST EXPERTS possible. If you just have an old car and would rather
do it yourself than spend $300 or $400 at the budget shops for a
mediocre job that they will do, you can do it quickly and end up
with a finish as good if not better than such shops, and spend a
minimum amount of time doing it- although you will still need
the materials and equipment you don't already own, and a place
to do it. You can get the download or DVD (it is dirt
cheap), or just read through the basics on this page and
get a good idea of what you will need to do. Okay....you decide. No bull here. The best
painting adventure to you! |
