Hehehe not so fast. We have to prime everything first, also, a good suggestion is to wipe everything down with Xylol/Xylene to kill any oil spots that you may have left behind from your fried chicken lunch or the oily screw under the fender.
5. Before you paint the car and all the parts you need to make sure you have enough primer and paint, if you have more than one container with paint or primer MAKE SURE you mix the containers, that is, if you have two or more primer containers, mix them between each other so you have the same tone; the same goes for the paint too, mix the gallons between each other so when you start painting you have a uniform and spotless coat. You don't want the door looking darker that the hood.

Now that you have the first coat down, let the primer set and cure, read the instruction label on the primer container on how long it takes before you can work with it again. Once you can work with it again sand it smooth, you will notice that the surfaces have a "grainy" texture, you will have to sand it out and apply a second coat of primer.
9. O.k....
Two coats of primer down, sand it smooth again and we are ready for the paint, the paint you will have to apply twice too, the difference is that there should be no sanding, if it comes out grainy you may have to sand it lightly and apply another coat of paint. Great, The car is painted, one last step, Depending on what king of paint you got you may have to apply a Lacquer witch hardens the paint top coat much like polyurethane on wood and that my friend you have to find out with your paint supplier. If it is not included in your paint you have to mix the lacquer with the last coat of paint you're going to apply. Find the mixing ratio out with your paint supplier and witch one works best.
