bhermes Posted February 21, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2012 After going back and forth I have decided to paint my car myself. I have no background in painting but I bought the car to learn and this is another learning opportunity. Wish me luck.Does anyone have a good step by step painting guide, maybe with videos. I am mainly concerned about stripping down to bare metal and repairing a small amount of rust and a few small dents. Soem direction here would be great.I will not be painting the car until the beginning of June. Teacher and have all summer off to get the car looking and running good. Runs good for the most part a few minor things between now and then.Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhermes Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share #2 Posted February 21, 2012 One more thing. I will also be replacing the window gaskets and more than likely adding a body kit (not sure if I want to mess with the stock vehicle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonV Posted February 21, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 21, 2012 Buy "How to Restore Your Datsun Z-car" by Wick Humble, it should be the perfect resource for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunz Posted February 21, 2012 Share #4 Posted February 21, 2012 A real good source on body work and paint is Kevin Tetz's Paintucation series of DVD's. He's the host of Trucks on Spike TV's Power Block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
