what kind of paint?? spray gun?? roll?? brush?? Your gonna need primer and some kind of top coat also. If you spray, I would get 4 cans of primer, 6 color, and 5 clear.

what would you recommend for a good paint job?

by **Stank.EG6.Stay.Nasty** » Fri Oct 21, 2011 5:14 pm

i would seal it, coats of primer, sand it down with self-etching primer to find the low and high spots.... then get to the painting... the clearcoat is the trickiest because you gotta spray it so wet
