I have had a couple people ask if I could paint their cars. I want to be able to practice on some first so my neighbor got me 2 car hoods, 2 door skins and a trunk lid. I was able to get out and paint one of the door skins today. To prep the the door skin I use tar and wax remover then I go over it with a green scriub pad that you use to wash dishes with just to rough it up a little. Then I wipe it down and paint.

Here is what the door looked like before I painted

and after I painted it

I am going to try the other door skin I hope tomorrow then in the next c couple weeks I am going to try a hood.
