paint work

[greendayhbt26]

alright, over the winter a little bit of rust formed on my truck so im going to take care of it. im somewhat knowlegable on what to do but i just wana make sure im doing it right

heres what i know

-you sand down the paint till you hit bare metal
-then you put a coat of undercoat on
-then 5 coats of the color paint
-then a coat of topcoat

correct me if i am wrong in any way because i wana do this right, and if you have any tips or tricks i would love to know them

thanks

Generally speaking, correct. Technically speaking, its a lot more complicated.
