Paint!

Well I have been reading on the internet and I found a site where they were talking about how "they used to do it". Some old timer was saying that all his great paint jobs came from the Cosco. (That was a drug store popular in the 60's and 70's). Anyway, he was going on and on about how we spend too much money on paint when we can put some work in it and do a damn fine job ourselves. So I read his article, clicked print, closed the page then went to the work printer to realize it was out of order.... So I lost the article and the print... just damn lovely... So I started writing all of it down that I could remember. He said there were a few basic steps and I am going to write them out here.
1) Use fine grit sand paper to prepare the already painted tank/fender/etc
2) Prime with a decently thin primer (*no house thick crap he said to be exact*)
3) Now paint! Make nice even strokes with your aerosol can (using your choice color).
4) Dry with a hair dryer from about 10 inches till you get the top of the paint almost baked *Being careful to not blow directly onto wet paint and make it run*
5) Just as the top of the paint is almost dry from #4 then you sprinkle the glitter of your choice on the paint.
6) Continue to dry paint with hair dryer.
7) Spray generously with clear coat aerosol till she looks wet and shiny.
8) Dry with hair dryer using same technique as # 4

9) Now paint that sucker again with the exact same color and refer to #5, then 6, then 7, then 8, then done!
9) Optional # 9 .. use a different color to do the edges of the parts and leave the center the original color now refer to #5, then 6, then 7, then 8, then done!
