Hi guys,

I’m painting my car myself , the bumper and little scratches, I only used one can of spray so far, but do I need more base coat for the prime patches to go away or?

There is no harm in trying..but next time if you a taping a car for painting, you need to follow the line of the area you want to paint..i.e if you are painting the bumper (front), your cellotape don't need to cover any area of the bumper, you will start your taping from the fender to the full light, to the chrome and end at the other fender..there is always a line between the fenders and the bumper..and for the light down the bumper, you only tape the light and you won't allow the cellotape to attached to the bumper you are spraying because after your painting, the paint will not get down to where you tape and it will bring inperfect job..and moreover you need to cover thos error on the car with body filler before the primer..

lol , was charged $2,000 for the job

Though I’m not finished yet, cause my paint finished and new paint is arriving soon.

This one here only has the base coat, no mid coat or clear coat has been applied yet. So hopefully When it’s all applied it comes out great

Never painted a car or anything. Did everything through YouTube and just research .

I think my key takeaway is if you put your mind to something you can do it, even if it’s a new field and all

True , I’m in Canada though but you right it’s same thing here too. Just wild lol. You can literally be living paycheck to paycheck if you don’t manage your funds properly
