I'm going to need to do some painting on my jeep soon, and I remember there being a thread where a few generous painters offered up their booths. Honestly, I just need to bounce a few questions off some experienced painters and I'd love to get some tips before I tackle my little project.

I've never done blending between panels, and I'm not exactly sure how that's done. Do you wet sand the panel and blend into it, then reclear?"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Interested as well. I have damage on the very rear of my fender and need to sand, fill, and then paint & re-clear but how do you get it to match the rest of the paint without blend lines?

Most basecoat colors these days are blendable. And yes you wetsand with 1000/1200 grit on the adjacent panel*, I usually sand the entire panel like this and shoot a blend about 25% of the panel and than re-clear the entire panel.Originally posted by 5.0_CJ View Post
*Or you can use a 3M grey scotch pad and use water/ScuffnStuff in place of wet sandpaper.Originally posted by SilverbackComment

Sounds easy enough. What's a decent easy to shoot primer? I need to get some dings and rust out of my hood and some metal work here and there. I don't have an inline filter or drier on my compressor... I was thinking it might be a better idea to pay someone to use a booth to shoot it then to try and convert my compressor to be half as good as a proper booth. My local paint shop recommends Matrix paints. The last paint I did was PPG base and 2002 clear.Originally posted by Rick Modena View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
