Scott--

You're right, you are going to get overwhelmed with opinions and ideas, =
and likely, most of them will be fine.  I think prepping a car for a =
good paint job is a lot like being around a bunch of good cooks.  They =
are all going to have different ways to make the best marinara sauce, =
but I betcha in the end, they will all be great.

If you want, I once put down on paper, for a fellow Club member, =
more-or-less how I've done it.  But, I won't send it unless you want it. =
 Like you've already correctly observed, you are likely to get =
overwhelmed.

The other thing I would "warn" you against is that I've often been =
around folks who insist you must use "brand X's ____________".  That's =
BS.  There's a lot of good companies out there, and as long as you are =
using compatible, QUALITY products, it (IMHO), doesn't matter a hoot =
which brand you use, and to an even more controversial opinion, you can =
even mix/match stages, as long as you are following the advice of =
someone who knows what the heck they are doing.

Thus, my one "ABSOLUTE" bit of advice would be to get hooked up with a =
quality auto body supplier in your area.  Find the person who knows =
their stuff, AND STICK WITH THAT PERSON.  If you are  like a friend of =
mine who insists on shopping the best price for every little thing he =
needs, including on-line, and drive to each of 358 stores in the area to =
save 3 cents on a gallon of ________, then you will never build a good =
relationship/rapport with a person who can tell you how to substitute =
certain things for the more expensive things and save some real money, =
and can answer that question of " . . . why is my surfacer coming off" =
and those types of things.  For an example, I do like PPG paint =
products, but they are very expensive.  If you believe the advice of =
some, then you should use EVERYthing PPG . . . gosh, PPG abrasive paper, =
PPG measuring cups, PPG funnels, PPG lacquer thinner, PPG epoxy sealer, =
blah, blah, blah.  You will know you are doing it right, when the CEO of =
PPG sends you a bottle of 50 yr. old Scotch for your birthday.

However, a good supplier will tell you that you can readily subsitute =
other (even) less expensive PPG products for some of the prep stages.  =
Or gosh golly, even use a totally different brand of better surfacer, =
saving about $200 per gallon.  I won't bore you with the names of what I =
use, 'cuz I live in CA, and we have things you can't buy (and probably =
don't want to buy  . . . . $$$$), and you probably have access to a =
wider variety of products, no doubt at a reduced price.

In the briefest note possible, I'll throw this out there, and then =
everyone else can whack it to pieces.  Based on the fact you said you're =
already down to mostly bare metal (Re-reading, this, it is far longer =
than I anticipated, but I still consider it a BRIEF summary!!!!  This is =
a complex topic, IMHO!!!!)"

Use a self-etching, epoxy - catalytic sealer.  No need nowadays to use a =
separate self-etching primer.

Do your initial repairs . . . . banging out, metal work, filling of =
deepest/worse areas. =20

Re-apply the self-etching, epoxy - catalytic sealer in any areas where =
you may have exposed bare metal.  The idea is never to have actual bare =
metal . . . at this stage.  If you've only got a few, very small bare =
areas, you might want to buy some self-etching sealer in a spray can.  =
Tis expensive, about $18 for a large spray can, but it beats, sometimes, =
making up your spray gun, cleaning, etc.

Don't try and get the surface perfect yet.  Use a good quality filler, =
if needed, and long boards or foam boards to around 120.  The sealer =
you've applied thus far is really NOT "surfacer", it is not intended for =
a surface finish, in fact, it is not even intended to be "sanded" at =
all.  Don't panic, you're no where's near done here . . . your filled =
repairs are still rough, and you no doubt still have scratchs, maybe =
even some very small dings.

Apply a good coat of a good quality surfacer.  You get what you pay for. =
 Super cheap surfacer is exactly that.  Do NOT buy anything that claims =
to seal and surface (and cure cancer) in the same can.

Additional filler repairs can continue.  If your repair is "almost" =
perfect, just needs a "wee bit" more, now you move up to what is =
commonly called a "skim" product, intended to be put no more than a =
1/16" or so thick, and mostly sanded off.  The beauty of these products =
is that they go on much easier, and sand off so much easier.  There are =
different "grades" of skim products, I actually use a third, very fine =
one . . . like if I see an air bubble, or a scratch.  Don't fill these =
minor imperfections with your "basic filler" stuff . . . .it is too =
thick, too heavy, and too hard to get a fine surface when sanding.  This =
is one of the biggest lessons I've learned, in the fairly recent past.  =
You might be saying "OK, why not just use that "skim" stuff for the deep =
repairs?"  'Cuz it does not have the strength of the good filler =
products.  Most filler products have some kind of reinforced fiberglass =
in them.  One brand I would recommend is MarGlass . . . for a deep =
repair, where metalwork just has not totally worked.  Normal depth =
repairs are done with a "regular" fill product, which your supplier can =
recommend.  I have my favorites.  You now commonly ready in magazines =
that the entire car was skimmed.  I don't do that, but I understand why  =
. . .=20

Continue to apply surfacer as needed.  You will keep moving up the "grit =
scale", to around 280 or so "dry".

Now, buy a spray can of "Guide coat", which you apply very lightly . . . =
creating a speckle/overspray kind of coat.  Do not try to save $8 bucks =
here and use flat black spray paint.  Did that once . . . not good.  =
Now, using around 280 or so, either a long board or long foam piece, =
sand across contours, with 2 - 3 good strokes.  Immediately, you will =
observe the low spots.  How low?  A tad bit?  May be able to bring up =
with a heavy application of surfacer.  Miss a ding or much deeper?  May =
need to go back to filler or skim.  I'm currently helping a Club member =
with his B.  He had it professionally painted.  Terrible paint job.  I =
didn't want to say anything, but in short, no one guide coated that car. =
 There are a dozen or so very visible dings just on the back end of the =
car.  Sad.

Repeat the above steps until, when you guide coat, with only 2 - 3 =
strokes, it is perfect.  Don't get "cute" and say "Oh, I can sand that =
black stuff out of there!!!!"  Sure you can, but you're only cheating =
yourself.

Should, at any point, you hit bare metal, hit it with self-etching, =
epoxy - catalytic sealer

Once the guide coat is perfect, now lay in a supply of perhaps 320 (I =
usually skip the 320 stage), and 400 wet-or-dry.  Now, you proceed to =
wet sand the car.  An empty spray bottle of water is helpful.  Lots of =
water.  When this stage is done, you go over the car with a good, strong =
light . . . looking for scratches or other imperfections.  Never kid =
yourself that the color coat" will take care of it, or hide it.  =
Actually, color coat will make most imperfections look far worse.  Any =
problems, fix 'em now.  You can buy a "variety" pack of the various =
shapes of the "new" foam blocks . . . highly recommeded.

Apply one final coat of self-etching, epoxy - catalytic sealer.  This =
stuff is the "new" magic.  It absolutely allows your color coat to bond. =
 TRY to the color coat as quickly as possible to the application of the =
self-etching, epoxy - catalytic sealer -- with some brands, like within =
TEN minutes.  Do NOT sand or abrade the self-etching, epoxy - catalytic =
sealer--you do NOT want to scratch or penetrate the self-etching, epoxy =
- catalytic sealer with anything like a scratch.  Working alone, I find =
I can't do this step "properly" (meaning that quickly), but it still =
seems to work OK.  The PPG rep would probably say otherwise.

One "trick" I might throw in here, is this:  With the high cost of good =
paint, I will use a lesser quality paint, of the same type and color =
(duh) for things like the interior (all covred over anyway), inside =
fender wells, the boot, the engine bay, inside/under the boot/boonet =
lids, etc.  Thus, I may only need 1 gallon of the really expensive =
stuff, and 1 gallon of the other.  A local company, which is becoming =
huge, and has a huge online presence, is TCP Global.  They make (I =
believe made by ValSpar . . . now a much bigger player in the auto =
refinishing business -- having bought out a few other companies =
recently) their own brand of polyurethane paint, totally compatible with =
things like PPG Concept, at about 1/4 the price.  I find it easier to =
spray and work with than the good stuff!  I'm tempted to do an entire =
car with it.  We'll see . . . but I've already bought the PPG paint for =
the Magnette . . . so whatever car comes up after the Magnette!!!! =20

Spray the color coat . . . the easy part, actually,  You've done all the =
hard work above.  Put on plenty of paint (at least 3 - 4 "double" =
coats), so you have plenty to color sand/buff.

Color Sand

Buff

We'll cover those two stages later!

Collect your First place trophy

You might say "Wow, that is too much work.  I'll just let a shop do it." =
 Sure, most folks do, and you can get some great jobs out there.  What =
I've observed so often, is that naturally, you don't want to spend more =
money that necessary, so the shop sounds good, and you go with them.  =
Sometimes, the results are fantastic, and sometimes they are horrid.    =
I've seen some great jobs at reasonable prices, and I've also seen some =
dowright awful jobs, where folks paid waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much =
money.  There are some real craftsman out there, and there are some real =
hacks.  If I was going to have a shop do it, I'd insist on seeing past =
customer's cars.  Don't just listen to their speel.  I'd make sure they =
list what they are going to do, step-by-step.  I'd be dropping by often =
to make sure they are doing it.  I want to say you are going to get what =
you pay for, but that doesn't always seem to be the case.  I will say =
this:  I've been asked to paint other people's cars.  I simply =
can't/won't.  I'm way too slow, and make mistakes.  The cost of =
materials, for me, far exceeds what I see people getting their cars =
painted for.  IF I was to paint a Magnette, which I will be doing one of =
these fine milleniums, which did not need extensive metal work, rust =
repair or welding, I would start at $10,000.  I know you just flipped, =
but I think that is realistic for a really good paint job. =20

 . . . and Happy Holidays.
