Well I bought a metal Viper model just for the hell of it..then decided to try my hand at painting it. So I soaked it in brake fluid & took all the paint off it. I'm wanting to paint it candy apple red, with a basecoat of silver. Just wondering how many coats of what, & the order to put them on is...
I'm guessing the order is: primer, silver, candy apple red, clear coat. Am I wrong??
Also, how many coats of each should I put on?? I've read to put two coats of primer on, one coat of everything else, but two coats of clear also...is this wrong?
Thanks!
