Anyone have experience painting a car?
 
Over spring break I didnt have anything to do so me and my cousin decided it would be a good idea to fix a rust spot on his car where it had gone through. We filled and painted it and it didnt turn out great but was probably the best looking do-it-yourself job Ive seen so far on accords with the same problem. We decided to do another project over the summer break and we are now working on a 89' Ford F150 XLT Lariat and a 56' Duracraft sportsman speed boat. Both of these projects need to be painted and my cousin got a 30 gal. air compressor and a set of paint guns for his birthday. Dose anyone have any tips on painting entire trucks/boats? We have some experience and knowledge on this but are by no means pros.

just remember to always keep the spray gun even with the surface you are painting and move your arm as you spray, NOT your wrist. You want nice even strokes with the sprayer the same distance away from what your painting from start to finish.
