Spray painting refers to a painting technique in which a device is used to spray a coating  of paint, ink, varnish, etc. through the air onto a particular surface. The most common types of spray painting techniques make use of compressed gas, generally air, to atomize and direct the paint particles. Spray guns are either automated or hand-held and are equipped with interchangeable heads that enable different spray patterns. Spray guns are mostly used for spraying cars. Various spray painting techniques are employed to paint the surface of a car and almost all of them use compressed air or air pressure to discharge and direct the spray.

In case, your car needs to be painted but you don’t wish to spend the money on a professional paint job, you can easily paint it yourself! Here are a few tips that might be useful for you:

Before beginning to paint, sand or grind out all rust spots. Always use a filler for areas that are heavily rusted.

 

Use a masking tape to distinguish those areas that you don’t want to paint. Sometimes, you will have to remove certain pieces of the car so as to paint evenly.

 

A lot of time and money will be wasted on paint if you don’t prime your car with a high-quality metal primer. The surfaces that are to be painted  must be first covered with a primer.

 

Paint using a high-quality enamel such as Rust-Oleum to protect your car and to enhance the durability of your paint job. To attain good results, you can also attach a spray can and air compressor or buy a snap-and-spray aerosol can holder from any store for a reasonable amount. These spray can holders help in producing an even flow and you don’t have to hold the spray nozzle for a long period of time.

 

Maintain a distance of 8 to 15 inches from the car while spray painting it in order to prevent paint runs. Apply the paint in an area that does not have dirt  or dust as these particles can get into the paint before it dries.
