Should i use a sealer over urethane primer before painting? I've been told BC/CC is best for painting, person at paint shop said urethane "was just about as good". Any thoughts on which paint to use, is one any easier or more forgiving for a beginner to spray? I'm thinking of spraying a pearl or metallic, (probably white with a blue metallic in it), paint shop said you sometimes end up with a yellow effect, (haze ?), using pearl/metallic, is this true, should i stay away from this type of paint. Brand i will be using is Nason. Sorry so many questions but i'm getting ready to paint and want to make sure i get right material.

As long as the primer is freshly sanded sealer is not needed but it will not hurt as long as there are no sand throughs.BC/CC is a easy system to use,some easier then others I use in my shop Glasurit fast set-up and easy to nub when fresh.If you are painting for the first time metallics are not easy to paint you can get stripping or bad metallic flow,they can stand up and the paint will look very coarse and rough.Solid colors are the easiest for a first time painter to get to see how the flows and how you can lay the material out.Your perfect bodywork can be destroyed by a bad paint job.Start of easy and work your way up.I have been restoring cars for 29 years and every paint job is a challenge for my shop,patience is to a good paint job and also about 6-8 hrs of color and clear.visit www.redzautorestoration.com
