The preparatory process of a car painting consists of a cleaning procedure from dirt, bitumen and grease stains with the use of water and specialized products. For a start it is necessary to dismantle and clean the bumpers, headlights, sidelights.

If some places are covered with old and cracked paint, it makes sense to use the etching method. In this case, a paste, made at home, which is based on potato flour, with the use of caustic soda and water. In this situation, the remaining paint is washed off with a cold pressure of water using a spatula. Upon completion, the body is cleaned with a soft cloth and sanded.

In order for the car to be painted efficiently, the body is primed. To do this, you can use a primer with the addition of a solvent. The precoating is sprayed onto the voluminous surfaces using a spray gun, and small nicks are covered with a brush.

Applying a thick layer of putty, the material will subsequently crack, so after hardening the putty, you can use a diluted layer of enamel. It will help to avoide mistakes.

The painting procedure takes place indoors. A specialized auto paint enamel should be prepared, which is diluted with a special solvent to the required degree of density, with strict observance of the instructions. Then the paint composition is filtered through a sieve or funnel with very small cells. Painting starts from the roof of the car with the transition to other surfaces. Enamel drying in a natural way, at a temperature of + 20C, is carried out within 10-15 minutes, complete drying of 2-3 layers occurs after 24 – 36 hours. The tone and color depth will be revealed only during the application of the second layer of enamel.
