here is a tip..... if its your uncles shopp....
rent booth time.... and do a bunch of side hustles at night. make sure you or your uncle has no liability.....
theres plenty of people that dont want primer jobs.... and would prolly be willing to give you a shot......
have the people do the prep so all you gotta do is mask and spray n bake.
booth time should be charged for your uncle.
paint either bought from uncle or provided by guinea pig.
and you work fpr tips....
win win situation

you need to know your gun and be able to tear it apart and put it back together.
know the controls, air,fluid,patteren
overlap atleast 50%
even strokes
feather on the outsides
start 50% over or below panel where you start
atomize
be able to adjust if it splatters big drop or little
know what dry spray, and overspray is
never paint over twice,wait for it to flash then put another coat on before kicks,then you have to wait till it drys completely. if not it want burn in.
dont be afraid to wet the panel, if so it may cause dry spray
be patient, take your time.
i got a donor car that you can practice on...there are requested restrictions but pm me if interested
fyi- its a fully functional, registered vehicle....not some shell/project/whatever car
