Always do a test panel prior to spraying the vehicle
Step 1 - Clean the surface really well 24-48 hours prior - Clay bar/mitt if needed - Wash with water and dawn dish soap. This removes all wax and grease from the surface.
Step 2 - After drying for 24-48 hours, start the masking process. Cover everything you don't want sprayed. Using high quality prep helps. Checkout our Starter Bundles here. Always mask the headlight and taillights. Take note of any areas where the tape and body of the car touch. You'll need to either post cut with a razor or peel sharp. Final wipe down with water and denatured alcohol and a lint free towel/very nice micofiber towel
Step 3 - Ensure your gun is clean prior to spraying - Most issues occur due to faulty equipment. No joke. Close your gun all the way were no fluid is coming out and open it 2-3 turns. This is a good starting point for spraying. Apply 2-3 very light coats of Raail Basecoat (Primer). Panel by panel passes are suggested. Allowing 5-10 minutes between coats to fully dry - You'll know when it dry - it will be super matte when dried
Compressor PSI: 20-25
