My car was repainted before I got it. I am almost finished with all the mechanical work. Originally, it was going to be a street/strip car and I was ok with the paint. Now that our drag strip has closed, I am going to make it a driver. I want to redo the paint but have never painted before. One side the panels are nice and straight but the passenger side has seen obvious repairs before. I do not plan on making it a show car but I want it to look good.
There is not any visible rust anywhere. Where do I start to assess the damage, learn about prep and paint techniques? I like the color but I am open to change. I know that many others have done this before me. Help me follow in your footsteps. I like to study techniques so books, youtube or websites appreciated.
