I am going to attept to paint my new fender myself in order to save some money. If I do a crappy job, I'll just pay to have it professionally done...but I figure its worth a shot. I have been doing a bit of research on how to prep the panel etc. I bought a large variety of 3M automotive sandpapers and tack cloth and will be working with SlimStyleDSM who does have some bodyshop experience. The 3M products came with a decent guide stating when to use each grit sandpaper, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a website that gives detailed step-by-step instructions on prepping, priming, painting, and clear-coating. Any info would be appreciated. Please no posts stating how terrible at-home jobs look, I don't care to hear it. I am going to give it a shot and if it doesn't turn out well I'll get it professionally redone.
