Step 1
Car painting technology with acrylic auto paint.
When it comes to high-quality body repairs, acrylic auto paint is applied in three layers. The first coat is sprayed very thinly, the second is at normal thickness, and the third can be sprayed with a thinner consistency. It is very important to observe the measure when thinning the paint in order to avoid smudges.
Step 2
Lacquered acrylic auto-enamel.
With a standard car painting, it is not advisable to cover the surface of the car with auto-enamel, varnish. But quite often the craftsmen varnish the acrylic surface of the car to increase the shine and bright color of the car. In order to varnish a car, it is better to use special varnish paints.

Vertical vehicle parts should be painted starting at the top and going down.
Step 5
Distance from gun to vehicle parts.
To determine the optimal distance when painting parts with a gun, you need to consider factors such as the brand of the gun, the width of the torch, and the strength of the paint supply. Usually the first coat of paint is applied with a gun from a distance of 15cm, and the last coat from 30cm. Apply paint at a great distance, it is necessary to quickly work with a gun, so as not to form smudges.
Temperature is also a very important condition when painting a car. After all, the choice of the solvent, the exposure between the painting layers and the number of layers of painting will depend on the temperature. The optimum temperature for painting a car is 20 degrees. You need to paint the car in a special overalls and gloves.
