its a 96 mustang vert with a tan top= interior i wanna put dual gold metallic stripes on the hood and trunk lid what kind of surface prep should i do the factory paint its been waxed once since ive had it its dark green metallic should i also put a coat of clear on once its dried or would that dull the metallic flakes in the gold????

 

you should sand that mustang with 40 grit all over till theres no more paint on it then strip the entire interior then get 10 cans of flat black and make it look like a 10 year old painted it and it will be a 10 second car. atleast thats what the mustangs around here think will happen when they do that.

 

Depends on if you're using automotive paint and not just rattle cans.

 

Did you watch that new Duplicolor commercial or something? The "yes you can" one? Good luck with that.

 

I would reccomend going to a place that makes vinyl decals and have them make you some stripes, unless you know what your doing with paint and have experience, you will probably regret rattle canning your car. Plus you can always remove the vinyl stripes.

 

im with him, adding on stripes is a huge ordeal, you dont want that kind of project.

 

yeah the whole vinal deal would be the way to go with that.....i found a set on ebay for mine for like 40$.....plus when you spray bomb it and clear it, it will crack because the paint base is different from each other.....spray cans are enamel....your car is probably base coat clear coat.........PPG if you abosolutly must paint them your self

 

Give it a car wrap that looks like a Camaro. That, or junk it!
