Ready To Spray Paint ( you need an air compressor and a spray gun)

Read the Surface Preparation instructions first. We provide a piece of specially coated poster board paper called a spray out card or test panel. Paint this first to determine color match. Their is nothing we can do once the paint is on the car.  Ready to spray means that all high quality solvents have been added to the paint to assure high performance. Avoiding dry times, sanding times, flash times, or any other directions may cause poor performance. User tech sheets are available upon request.  Special note: We try our hardest to allow the high tech do it yourselfers and professional painters to be able to paint your own car as easy as possible. Please call us if you don't fully understand. If you are not confident that you can do this it may be best to use aerosol spray paint or have a professional collision center paint it for you. And remember that even using instructions perfectly, nothing takes the place of the experience of a professional painter.
