I need a couple of words of wisdom from someone who has done some car
painting. No, I will not paint my car. It was painted a couple of years
back, but only the outside. My engine and transmission are out, so I want
to paint the engine compartment.
I bought a little paint gun with built in gas cartridge. I figure this
will work fine for painting such a small area.
My main problem is that I know nothing about paint except the kind in
spray cans :-)
I have the "recipe" for my paint which I will take to the paint store.
But what do I buy? I guess I need primer, paint and thinner (is that
called reducer?). What kind do I want, how much? (I can't really go back
and ask what was used when the car was painted.)
TIA,
