Dupli-Color - Part 7 - Prep, Trim and the Paint Booth

We have a lot of information in this post so we are going to have two videos.  First, Duplicolor explains and demonstrates how to repair minor imperfections.  They sand the surface imperfection with 180 and apply a small amount of body filler.  Glaze putty may also be consider to be applied straight over paint as in demonstration.  Then the filler is sanded.  All metal should have a light coat of eslf etching primer, then the primer surfacer can bee applied.  Finish sanding the primer with 600 grit sandpaper and now you're ready for paint.  First, we need a paint booth with will be covered in the second video below.


Painting The Trim and Building The Booth
In this episode Duplicolor will demonstrate how to have your trim looking new again.  It would would be a shame to have a new paint with ugly molding outlining the hard work you performed on the car.  No worry, follow these DIY steps and your entire car will be looking good.  Jessi Combs shows up in this episode after all of the work has been completed.  However, she makes it up by buying drinks for the team.   Here is Dupli-Color's Paint Booth Directions.
