okay so i'm 17 and on a tiny budget.. and I don't really care for professionality

Okay, so, all i want, is to change teh color of my car.. not big on rust, protection, clear coat, shine, etc... I just want to change the color



How bad is it, to just tape up your car.. and spray paint it ? like, with graffiti spray paint.. what are all the bad things about doing so ?

I need to know if it's bad enough for me to care.. haaa

Thank you :)

what you need to do is sand down the car (yes, all of it) or at least what's visible. then you mask off windows and such. then it's time for primer (and you do need primer) then hit it with automotive paint.

expect to spend $100-200 for a decent job (it takes a few cans and a few coats)

Yea... I know how a car is painted :confused:

I just know that if you're ever mad at somebody, you can straight up spray paint tag their car..

well what if i wanted to spray paint the whole thing ? I don't care about the look/color that much, to save up 200$ and put that much work into it

all i need to know are the side effects
