Does anyone know of a good writeup on how to paint your car yourself? Mainly on the prep work involved? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't really have any reference except experience, but i did just post a little bit in another thread like 2 minutes ago, check that out, but when i have more time, i'll try to write something up, but i got finals coming up so i dont know how much help i'm gonna be w/ the little time i have right now!! I think the thread started was like, paint help, where is paul lol check that out theres a little bit of info on basic prep - this prep i wrote out doesn't just go for aftermarket hood/bumper, goes for the entire car,

BIGGEST HELP I CAN GIVE YOU YOU"LL THANK ME FOREVER ---

ALWAYS USE A HARD BLOCK AND GO OVER EVERYTHIGN YOU"VE DONE W/ A FINER GRIT SAND PAPER, I prefer to paint over 400 grit paper, cuz there is never sandscratches when this is applied, but when you get done all yoru sanding, make sure you scotch pad the crap out of the entire car w/ a red scotch pad - grey scotchpads are for use where you are clearing, but not painting, and on certain primers, reds are for where you are painting! Any specific questions? This makes it a little bit easier for me w/ my crap schedule right now
