4. Lay a primer or base coat down???
4.5) drink a shot
5. Wait 15 minutes after step 4 and hit it with the color I want. (high temp paint obviously)
5.5)drink a shot
6. Wait 15 minutes and hit it with another coat.
6.5)drink a shot
7. Wait another 15 minutes, hit it with the final coat of paint.
7.5)drink a shot
8. Wait until dry, hit it with a few coats of clear, waiting 15 minutes between each coat?
8.5)drink a shot
9. Go get another bottle

Please feel free to add / remove / fix any of my steps. I have no idea really how to paint, just a general concept. I know this probably won't look the most professional, but to be honest I don't care I just want to have fun doing this.

Thanks!

fixed!
