Dupont Paint Costs!! Sticker Shock!

Your prepping is 99% of a good paint job.If you are going for a lighter color,such as yellow,white,Sassy Grass Green,etc,if possible,get a sealer or use a primer that is light in color as well.If your car is like say ,white and want to paint it metallic blue,spray a dark sealer because metallics are transparent and are a ***** to cover.You will use up LOTS of materials when you try and cover a black hood with yellow and such.I found this the hard way when I painted a friends car Sassy Grass green and his primer was black,omg it was a pain in the arse to cover that black.But yeah,a good prepped and cleaned surface is key.
