O.....M.....G LOL jk ok first off calm the HECK down lol.

1.get pro painters tape like the blue one use a like earaserers edge to go around the edges of the tape when its on the window.or take a ball pen and go around the edge.do it for all the windows.

2.before you mask it sand it with i think 600 grit sand paper.the WHOLE car body so it is like really dull.

3. if it is like a bright car color make it all smooth and then spray it with white if u want it flat or i think silver for a shine.

4.spray your color after the base is COMPLETELY dry give the base like 10 hours depending on the time. go over the body with the color starting from either the side and over or front to back.then let it sit go on a like 3 mile bike ride or something lol.then come back and sleep for like 5 hours and then check the body dont touch it or else finger prints lol.

5.when its all dry go over it again if it needs it.

then take off the tap and ur set.anyone please double check this


(actual time may vary)

Use the search button and the tutorial section or the xmods repair/modification manual. You will find painting tutorials and more.
