How to Paint a Car?

[LaLeah]

Here are the steps for car painting: 1. Clean the car body with water, use a sanding block to flatten the sandpaper, then wet-sand the scratches until the edges are smooth. 2. Apply putty evenly over the scratches using a spreader and let it dry completely. 3. After drying, wet-sand the putty with sandpaper until the putty surface is level with the paint surface. 4. Mask the surrounding parts of the scratches, and once properly masked, you can begin painting. Below are the precautions during painting: 1. Hold the spray gun about 20 cm away from the surface and spray evenly in multiple passes for better results. When applying multiple coats, ensure each subsequent coat is applied after at least 10 minutes to allow the paint to dry and avoid sagging. If sagging occurs, wait for it to dry, then sand it smooth and respray from a distance. After the paint is completely dry, apply a clear coat to enhance gloss, protect the paint, and improve durability. 2. Maintain a perpendicular spray pattern to the surface. For a wetter, darker, and thicker coat, spray closer; for a drier, lighter, and thinner coat, spray farther away. For uniform paint thickness, use a cross-spray method followed by horizontal spraying.
