1. Preparation
-Choose a well-ventilated and level area with sufficient space around the car.
-Wash and dry the car to remove any dirt, debris, and water.
2. Masking
-Use painter's tape and newspaper to mask off areas that you don't want to be painted. This includes the windows, headlights, taillights, bumpers, and any other trim.
3. Sanding
-Use fine-grit sandpaper to scuff up the surface of the car. This will help the primer to adhere better.
4. Apply primer
-Stir the primer thoroughly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-Apply the primer in thin, even coats. Hold the spray can 8-10 inches away from the surface and move in a steady motion.
-Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
5. Drying
-Allow the primer to dry completely before moving or painting the car. The drying time will vary depending on the type of primer and the weather conditions.
6. Cleanup
-Carefully remove the masking tape and newspaper.
-Dispose of any used materials and containers properly.
