Pick the right paint and load the sprayer. Spray with a side-to-side technique, top to bottom. Safety first use a respirator. Apply three coats, cleaning the sprayer afterward. Sand, wipe, then add two clear coat lacquer coats. Dry for 24 hours, resist touching. Sand any mistake then buff for a glossy finish. Wear safety gear throughout the process. and more click Signature Detailers
