      Jon wax and grease remover is the best option. I’ve always used that and a rag, then after it dries hit it with a tack cloth.
      Also, when painting in a shop that doesn’t have a ventilation system, one should definitely consider a mask or respirator. And it wouldn’t hurt to have wet down the floor to keep any dust from kicking up

    Painted is alot like building an engine, it's the small things that add up. Most of the time is the body work. Every body ask "how much to paint my....." $100 to spray it, 10k for the prep should be the answer. So many things affect a paint job ie temp, when spraying metallics will cause "mottle" too hot and the flakes dry on their edges leaving stripes. Also creates dry spray and orange peel, because it has no time to level before it has flashed and sat. Using a slow activator will help. Spraying at night will attract insects by the lights used etc. But with that said, to each his own. Theres an a$$ for every seat. Always gonna be the haters and the admirers of the same paint job. Weve sprayed award winning cars and weve sprayed clear on patina, even shot a little rustoleum that came out great. The dart looks great uncle Tony 👍👍👍

I really want to tackle painting a car sometime soon and it's good to see you enjoying figuring this out.

    Looks great Uncle Tony! I’ve done the same thing over the years, with sweat dripping and dragging the hose through the paint. I’ve been a GM/Chrysler tech for 25 years and I’ve become friends with various body guys over the years. I’ve learned a bit from every guy. One good thing to do is wet the floor, so you don’t kick up dust. I get super nervous like you , but when I start I have fun also. I get scared because if I mess up, the paint is expensive and I want it to look somewhat presentable.

      Those mixing cups are so incredibly easy to read and use, but all the numbers on them make people run.
      What you're referring to is adding reducer to thin it out. Always add the correct amount of hardener (or activator) and never reduce more than 10%. Most mixing cups have that 10% scale on them, but it's in the 3rd column of each scale.
