Any of you sifus here know a good website/link to learn more on
vehicle/automobile spraying techniques, process, type of paint, etc?
Need to do some research before surrendering my car to spray painting shop.
Best is, do you guys know (hint maybe) where's the best place to re-spray
the 1/2, or the whole car? Perhaps a place to treat the infamous cancer-
like RUST?
Thanks!

I thought that I could read your mind, that's why I asked these Qs!
Anyway, gonna spray the front part of my car most probably this Sat. Oh
yeah, it's one of those plonking in front-1/2-cut mixed colour
case ...hehehehe..
Quoted RM300, cheapest so far, exterior only, original metallic colour.
The rest of the shops (Cheras, Sg Besi, Salak Selatan) quoted me RM450-
RM700!
The shop also accepts our very own paint. Perhaps more discount to the
RM300? Too much laaa methinks.
I asked this because a friend of mine could source out car paint for free.
How many litres? I don't know yet. Why not give it a try eh?
Gonna respray the whole car (diff. colour of course) perhaps one year down
the road if the workmanship is good.
The only problem now is that I know nuts about car spraying/painting!
Any link(s) would be appreciated.

I don't know of any web sites but as far as books go the absolute best
one (if you can get it) is by a friend of mine. It's called "Vehicle
Painters Notes" by Peter Child.
If on the other hand you have a specific question,ask and I'll do my best
to answer.
