what is ..
basecoat?
midcoat?
topcoat?
clearcoat?
i know primer frist whats next and so on??

 

If you're looking for a guide to painting, check Eastwood.com as they have a lot of autobody tools and how-to guides. To answer your questions about stages of material, basecoat is what you would call the color coat (in a simple two stage process) and then clear is what makes it shine. As far as midcoat and topcoat, to provide a very basic answer, would be applied to give a different effect to the finished piece (i.e. candies, textures, pearls, etc.). And within each of these coats, you have different brands which each have their own mixture formulas. And once you start adding candies/pearls/etc. or generally trying to alter the finished look, the point at which you lay each coat can change. It's great to do something like this yourself but it is a very, very time intensive process (which is why it is not cheap) and it is not a bad idea to have someone with you who has done it before to help you.

 

couldnt said it better myself.

not trying to be an arse but you are not ready to do paint seriously and you can't learn how to without actually spraying things in person.

there's alot of way to do the same thing so be advice to filter out bs from real useful info.
