**Prep is Key**: Start by cleaning the car thoroughly and sanding it lightly to help the paint stick. Then, use a good primer before applying your color. It makes a huge difference!

**Use Quality Paint**: Go for acrylic or enamel paints, as they tend to stick better and give a nice finish. Spray paint can work well for an even coat, but make sure to do it in a well-ventilated area.

**Get Creative with Stencils**: If you want cool designs, use stencils or masking tape to create patterns. Just make sure everything is properly secured so the paint doesn’t bleed.

**Layer It Up**: Don’t be afraid to layer your paint. Start with a base color, let it dry, and then add details or highlights. It adds depth and makes your design pop!

**Finishing Touches**: Once you’re done painting, seal it with a clear coat to protect your work. It’ll give it a nice shine and help the paint last longer.
