Hey, i wanna repaint my Civic ED but the thing is that i have no clue about how to do this, i know about sanding and primer and stuff, but i wanna do it right the proper way.

Can anyone explain to me the steps in detail of a prefect spray...

Unless you have the proper tools/area/know how to do it, I wouldn't attempt to do this yourself..

You can prep the car yourself if your shown the right way but as for the painting I would leave it to the pros as Frans said..
Nothing worse than stuffing up a major job like the paintwork..

+1 and to op.. If u stuffed up your car and very unhappy about it, u'll be spending another $1.5k ish on top to get it done properly.. So might as well do it once with the pros..
