Some people will suggest to you that using aerosol spray paint to paint your car is not exactly a good choice. Its true that you are not likely to get that car manufacturers perfect finish on it, but you still could get various nice results. The essential thing is that you purchase a good quality paint, and most important you apply it correctly. There're some techniques to utilising aerosol spray paints. They're not hard to learn and are well worth the effort.

First of all you will need to learn if you are just touching up a particular area on your car, or if you're going to re-paint the whole vehicle. If you're doing a touchup then you are going to have to pay very close attention to color matching, where as in a complete paint job this isnt quite as essential.

Assuming you are going to be doing a touch-up you'll need various items. You'll require a couple of repair items such as sand paper, putty and a knife. If the region you are working on is rough or chipped you will need to sand it down smooth. Say there are pit marks you will have to fill them with the putty then smooth this out.

You would need a good car wash detergent, and degreaser, even if you're doing simply a touchup, it must be utterly clean.

You will need a couple of paper and masking tape. Take the time to be diligent about covering different areas that can possibly be in the line of fire when youre apply your aerosol spay paint. Even a really light breeze could cause a overspray onto your chrome, windows, etc.

You need to pick out your primer, color and finish aerosol spray paints. Make sure to do a color test by doing a really average area first. And then you'll be able to continue.

Try a few sprays on some cardboard first to be sure you don't get any squirts or blobs, and the paint is spraying equally. Don't forget to shake the can for at the least 2 or 3 mins so it's well mixed, or you won't get an even color.

Keep the spray moving as you press down on the nozzle. Do not hold it in one spot or you'll get runs. It is much better to use a couple of really light coats, then one or 2 heavy ones. If you apply it too thick its going to be very uneven and extremely obvious. It may seem like this is really time consuming, but not nearly as much as it'll be if you've to re-sand the paint off and start again.

Shake the can of aerosol spray paint every couple of minutes in order to keep it well distributed.

Your primer and your top coat must be applied with as much care as your colour is. With the correct application of your aerosol spray paint, your car can end up really awesome looking, and all of the work you put into it would have been well worth it.
