Hey these are a couple of things i need to review.

- I splashed on some of the paint to see what color it was, next day i scratch it and it comes right off. will this not happen after a couple of coats of paint?

- Should i sand the car down to metal when using rustoleum?

- Is it okay to paint in the cold?

 

Im pretty sure if you paint below 50 or 60 degrees theres a good chance the paint will come out pretty bad

 

Where do I start? Rustoleum? Why? If you want to spray on the cheep then hit your local Car Quest or other Dupont dealer and get a gallon of Fleet enamel. $40-50 and it's ready to spray. If you add a hardener to it you can even wet sand and buff.

Next, Cold will effect any paint you use. Above 60 is the best bet.

And last, before you paint anything you need to scuff the entire car down with at least 320 grit paper to give the paint something to stick to.
