Do You Know How To Spray Paint Your Own Car Like The Pros?

By Mario Goldstein

If you really think that you want to paint a car then get ready for a full task ahead of you. It doesn?t mean that you can?t or shouldn?t do it, it just means make sure you are ready to see the job done from beginning to end. If you don?t finish the job totally or properly then you are going to be driving something that may be a little embarrassing to the eye at least.

To paint a car takes careful planning and ensuring that you have all of the supplies you need and the time to go through at least some of the stages.

There are things that you are going to need by way of supplies. You will need masking tape, dust mask, goggles, sandpaper, wax/grease remover, primer paint, paper for covering, car wash and detergent, paint sprayer, putty with knife.

When you purchase you sandpaper make sure you buy fine and thick grit, as you may need both textures. The amount of primer and urethane based paint you need will be dependant on the size of your vehicle. Whether or not you want to use a paint sprayer is up to you, if you choose not to then the regular spray paint cans will do fine. Make sure you wear appropriate clothing when you go to paint a car so your skin isn?t exposed.

Finally make sure you have the proper space to work in. You need to be able to work around your car. You most certainly need good ventilation, and you will need to be able to protect it against the elements.

First you must really wash your car well. It doesn?t matter how clean it may look to you unless you just washed it, there will be some debris on it that you must remove, otherwise the paint will not adhere properly. Then once you have it washed nice and clean you have to get all the old wax off it so that is where the wax/greaser remover comes in. Its very important you go through these steps when you go to paint a car.

You will probably notice that you have some rough spots on your current finish. If you go to paint a car that is in this condition, you will not get good coverage with the new paint. Put little pit marks caused by stones or things like that just use a little putty to fill them in. The use the sandpaper to lightly smooth the rough spots and small holes. Make sure you wipe off all the debris from sanding.

In order to paint a car, you must be absolutely sure that it is dry after your washing. This will take a few hours. Make sure it doesn?t get dirty again. Next masking tape off the areas that you don?t want to get paint on.

Totally prime the car. Then sand it lightly one again. Be sure to wipe the residue off.

Now you are ready to apply the base coat of the new color. Preferably with a spray gun. Totally spray it then let it dry for about 15 minutes. Then you can apply the second coat. Most often you can get away with two coats.

Let it dry for about 1 ? hours then you can apply the clear coat. Let dry 15 minutes then reapply. You will probably need about 3 coats of the clear to get a good finish. - 21392

Automotive Electronics - USB and Bluetooth blend is still the topic of

By Zou himfr

At present, all greatest automotive OEM connectivity have been answered, but now all the motor vehicles worldwide sales offer Bluetooth (Bluetooth) with the USB connection. Beginning of the 21st one 100, you would surely consider that motor vehicle manufacturers have to get concurrently the aspirations of consumers: All portable inventions can bind to their cars.

However, you may be wrong.

Bluetooth is still a difficulty of "standards." Consumers and vehicle dealers are being or have know-how of connecting the position, some persons know-how wow, some are despairing to experience. Many OEM businesses are still looking for way to attach, whereas some manufacturers have organised to explain this problem.

This subject has now become more than ever clear, iSuppli Corporation in Paris to visit a motor vehicle dealer. Two respondents Fiat dealers, rudimentally on the Blue & Me result for deficiency of expect, the program is a aggregation of USB and Bluetooth. And a Ford broker is stated that its sales in the sales of a Bluetooth binding has not ran into any problems.

Bluetooth has yet to be hot pursuit

Bluetooth is a de facto power of the superb technology. When a Bluetooth binding to work when clients are not mindful of any of the virtually wholly technical knowledge, running in good condition.

Technology and buyer electronics should be employed on the vehicle directly to rendezvous the demand. You rotate the key begun the car. Look ahead to employed with the gap between genuine presentation, Bluetooth assists to interpret why persons are still battling for acceptance.

It is interesting that only in the United States does Bluetooth only accepted by the firm - without reservation. iSuppli Corporation acquired the technical report, based on preliminary data, the 2008 series cars in North America, 52% of the installation of the Bluetooth, and 2009 series models of the proportion rose to 86%. In contrast, Japan still seems skeptical of Bluetooth, the 2008 series models Bluetooth installation rate of 36 percent, a slight increase in the 2009 series to 42%. Of course, in Japan, domestic technical problems may be a significant factor, including the existence of alternative wireless connectivity solutions. In Europe, the 2009 series models in the installation rate of Bluetooth is 62%, higher than the 2008 series of 48%.

New baseline

Behind these phenomena, the supplier connection is changing. Compatible handheld apparatus has become a new benchmark.

Car manufacturers have been mindful of the need for the deficiency of compatibility of a large assortment of Bluetooth handheld invention results for those costs. Only be competent to entirely investigate and competent to clearly present a large assortment of handheld inventions compatibility suppliers, OEM buyer can win.

However, the introduction of Bluetooth OEM challenges compatibility is not only a handheld device, handheld device or compatibility issues is a deeper appearance. Automotive industry unit shipments of relatively low, has led to a number of semiconductor manufacturers for the automotive industry to give up the opportunities offered by Bluetooth technology.

These financial gatherings may be making mistakes. Government protection controls promulgated by the stimulation, the Bluetooth automotive market shipments by 2010 will arrive at 10 million. To open up motor vehicle market, the troubles faced by manufacturers, the portable handset market set the sound for the wares development, and presently is being tended to integrate GPS, before long will be integrated Wi-Fi. Opportunities on the automotive market, in the insist kitchen appliance surroundings like procurement, GPS and Wi-Fi is in all likelihood to be very high costs dispensable (nice-to-have) function.

There is no question that the genuine battlefield submissions Bluetooth headsets and handheld apparatus is the wireless market, the capacity of these markets to billions of dollars at every turn. CSR, Parrot and vitality, for example Renesas Technology vendors, or not less than advantage from market integration. The present market did not rest a couple of suppliers. - 21392
