So, I'm thinking heavily about painting my car this winter. I have a 99 Civic that is in decent shape. But, it's got a couple rust spots that pushed up through the paint, and it also has some dings and dents that I'd really like to push out.
Painting is definitely not something I'm used to doing. I've only painted a couple of things...and they didn't come out that great. But, I also didn't put much effort into it either.
I'm just looking for some possible guidance, cause I don't want it to come out like crap. I'd like it to look good. I'm not doing anything custom or anything like that. I just want to shoot the factory color back on to the vehicle. It is the typical black, and it has metallics.
Should I sand the paint all the way off? Or just scuff up the current clear, and paint over it?
