Are there any websites that teach step by step car painting for free?

vw beetle paintingAre there any websites that teach step by step car painting for free?
way too many things involved to learn on the fly from a website.





In its very basic form, these are the things to consider. first of all what type of paint? Basecoat? Lacquer? Enamel? etc.





then temperature and clean environment is necessary. Then no petroleum products in the air. So if you have a garage that has oil on the floor, that will hurt paint job.





clean car with correct product to assure clean body panels. when you taped the car and leaned your hand on that spot, the paint will react there and ruin your paint job. Even though you didnt know you did it.





The most important is paint technique. This cannot be taught but learned from trial and error. the gun, the speed, the distance away from car, how to handle runs, dry spots, orange peel. clean and dry air at gun is so important.





good luck. practice on something else first.
