I'm planning to get my car painted in the near future and am looking for advice. It's a black '95 Camaro with black top. It's the first car I will have had painted before. I'll probably keep the car for life. The car has 39K miles and needs minimal body work. There are some ripples on the top of the quarter panels which are somewhat typical for these cars.
I'm considering about changing up the color completely to something else. I know some people here have a lot of experience with paint an painting cars and I'd like to learn from you on Dos and Don'ts and any other advice that could be shared to help make for a good result and avoid problems.
What kind of stuff do people commonly make mistakes on or popular misconceptions? Where do issues arise?
For example, if I have the car's color changed but don't pull the engine prior to paint will it look like crap? What do you recommend?
Also suggest colors you like or think would look good on this car.
