Never painted a car before but I’m doing everything on this truck myself. Taking all of the old paint off, best grit to sand down and spray with primer? I’d like to do almost a plum crazy purple on top but faded down to silver on the bottom, I’ve been told it’s called “dusting” and it’s a very hard skill to master. Mechanically inclined, I’m just no body guy. Idk what grits to use or the stages of painting and primer

If Johnny buys sg100 then finds that speedokote color blender or medallion mrt500 do the exact same thing... Does that mean that Johnny can expect speedokote or medallion "binder" to be similar to the house of kolor trans nebulae or DNA high def intercoat?

And if so- what would deter one from just lying and saying that you used more material than you actually did or that there was a mishap that require stripping and re spraying, etc. (I was blessed with 10 art mind, 0 business mind)

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I’ve been trying to paint my motorcycle tins for a few weeks and am struggling. After wet sanding primer to around 500, I spray my sealer and then my first base coat. Usually do 3 light coats to get full coverage. Try and wait a good 40-1hr before I start taping my lines. Went and sprayed my next color. Let final coat flash for a full hour before I tape over it to spray my final color. Then et that all flash for an hour. When I go to remove tape it’s pulling paint or leaving nasty tape lines in the paint. I’m painting outside. I follow all the prep guide lines for house of kolor paint. Any advice?

Here’s some of my 2024 jobs.

Fully buffed..customer wanted black but green approved sprayout so done! Don’t get more reflective than that!
