practice on some spare parts, the last thing you are gonna want to do is paint your own car the first time you ever spray material out of an air gun...i practiced on many things before i started spraying cars. i painted parts for customers for a year before i even sprayed my own car,fatigue while spraying takes a toll and will make you really sloppy. get some spare fenders or junked up hoods, prep them and paint em. youll get the feel. and you best learn how to wetsand and buff.
yes this is very good advice... i took auto body for three years in High School, but im going to tell you this right now there will be a lot and i mean a lot of wetsanding involved, for the simple fact you have never done this before, so ya practice on hoods, fenders, ect.... but make sure the parts are setup like they would be on a car. (I.E. If you are painting a fender, make sure the fender is on some kind of holder you going to have to make, that will alow it to be like it is on the car.)
