You want to learn how to paint a car... cheap? We all know that painting a car can be very expensive and most people do not want to do it themselves. After an accident, even a fender bender or scraping that post in a parking lot can costs $1000+. Did you know you can actually repair the damage yourself for usually less than $200 and even $100 in some instances with spray cans and actually make it look good.

Within a few days you could know how to fix spots like this in a matter of hours for under $100 with sprays cans, sandpaper, and a few miscellaneous painting supply items.

Just to get you thinking in the right direction I am going to list a few of the supplies you need to get you started. You need sandpaper of multiple different size grits: 40 - 120 - 180 - 400 - 600 - 1200 - 2000 and possibly some in between depending on your application. No need for a grinder or expensive tools however those things do come in handy for large jobs. You will also need some primer, base coat (car paint color), clear coat, and a polisher to finish it off. These items are just to get you thinking. Their are so many accessories such as painters tape, plastic vinyl sheets, tack cloths, rust to primer, and a degreaser. These are all the items I have purchased to complete my various auto painting jobs. This may sound like a lot of things that can get expensive but when it comes down to it, it shouldn't cost over $200. Check it out below...
