you can write a book on this... ooooh actually loads of people have! buy one

"how to paint your car" or " the haynes car bodywork repair manual" will tell you all you need to know...

 

thanks for the help! I recieved the hood and windshield today,the hood came black so I guess I have to sand it primer and piant it, still looking for sunroof glass.and still waiting for my ebay type R lip kit.

 

I'm having lots of fun with this, I installed the hood and windshield today, the hood came black, it look so good I'm thinking maybe I should paint the hood black, the hood, roof, and trunk black, that jdm look the car is tahiti green, this kinda put a hold on my turbo kit though its ready to be installed, no hurry though.

 

thanks for the info, going to buy those books.
