I have never painted before and am not sure whether to sand between coats of enamel paint. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to restore my 69 Dodge Charger to look like the General Lee (the car from the TV series, Dukes of Hazzard.) Does anyone know the specifications that I need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fred, no you should not sand between coats of enamel.The proper way is to put on a number of thin coats, letting it tack between them, normally 10 to 20 min. depending on the temp. and humidity. After each coat wait a few minutes and touch it in an inconspictious place, with a glideing motion. If your finger tries to stick, wait longer and try again. Don't get in a hurry! When you see runs in paint, It's because the coats were too heavy or applied too soon. Use a reducer reccomended for your paint. I reduce mine to the thinest reccomended by the mfg. Prime the bare metal with a good rust preventive primer. Lightly wet sand with 360 or 400 grit paper, wash clean,and let dry. Go over surface with tack cloth just before painting. The only time you should hurry is while you are applying a coat of paint, this helps prevent dry spots. There are many tricks and many different techniques in painting. Trial and error is the best teacher,each person has his own style. Happy painting.....JAY
