Okay here is the deal people. I am gonna go in a few days and pick up my supplies to actually get started painting.

Being cheap (19 year old, no $$) I want to spend less as possible. Help me decide what I really truly need.

My 93 Civic is black right now but my Interlux color choices seem to be this...

- Black (original color is already this...)
- Flag Blue (I heard it looks black? But dark blue too...could be interesting...)
- Rustic Red (If they still have this, it could look good)
- Grand Banks Beige (This could work)

It's gonna be a toss up...lol. I probably am gonna go with something dark like Flag Blue which looks like Black...but I dont know yet.

Do I need to shell out and buy thinner? Is it needed? I thought I was going to wetsand so thinner seems for caution during really hot days. I will probably try to paint during the morning when its cool.

Could I buy only 1 sandpaper grit for during layers? Can 1500 or 2000 be good enough?

Let me know any thoughts or pointers you have.

THANKS

edit: I just realized that I probably do need mineral spirits because I can use that as the "cleaning solvent" before painting and between coats for cleanup purposes.
