Default RE: Painting with auto paint questions

Hello guys<div>I like this selection where your talking about painting your planes with auto paint, I'll be getting to that very soon. My question is: How do you prepare a plane for the paint. Do you cover the fuselage &amp; wing with dope &amp; silk span? I've used automotive paint, but on a mostly fiberglass plane years ago, I'm not sure where to start now. My wing is balsa and has no covering on it yet. I'm still in the building process, but getting close enough to start thinking about preparing it for covering &amp; painting. I need to know what is the best cover skin that would be used for automotive paint? </div><div>Any information would be greatly appreciated!</div><div>
