When I first found out about spray painting a car, I was pretty surprised about how easy it was. You see, I had been wondering how to spray paint a car for a long time. I had found out firsthand how expensive and inconvenient automotive spray painting can be. You see, I got into a small fender bender with someone several months ago. Literally the only damage to his car was a couple scratches on the bumper, but nonetheless he refused to use touch up paint. Instead, he wanted to go to a professional auto shop to have them touch up his car. I had wanted to avoid the insurance companies and pay out of pocket, but when I saw the bill, I couldn’t believe it. There is no reason that it should cost that much to spray paint a car, or so I thought. It turned out that I was right.
Spray painting cars is an easy and exciting spare time activity. A lot of people take their cars out to be professionally done, but it is so easy to spray paint a car that a professional shop is a waste of money. Painting touch ups might be good for covering up scratches, but if you want to repaint your entire car, you should do it yourself. When you decide to spray paint a car, you see, all you have to do is to cover up surfaces that you don’t want to paint. Once you block out the windows and the wheels, all you have to do is to go at it with a spray paint can. That is literally it! There is nothing to it at all.
When I found out about spray painting cars, I wanted to investigate the possibilities. What if you wanted to spray paint a car with an interesting design, I wondered. Was it still so easy? I found out that it was a little harder. If you spray paint a car one color, there is almost nothing to it. The more complicated the design, however, the more steps there are to the spray painting. If you want to spray paint cars with just two colors, it only takes two steps. First you spray paint a car with the background color and let it dry. Then you block out the spaces around whatever design you want to paint with the secondary color. Once those spaces are blocked out, you put on the second coat of paint. If you want to do A fade design, however, things get much more difficult. Leave that to the pros!
