Eastwood Vehicle Primers
The first step to your paint job is a quality base primer. Eastwood produces several types of vehicle primers to give your project the right foundation. We have epoxy primers for use with bare metal and body filler, self-etching primers for steel and aluminum, urethane primers that are great for sanding and spray-on polyester primers for ultra-straight panels.

Basecoats & Other Auto Colors
Give your car a sweet look in any color by choosing Eastwood. We have basecoats that go with our clear coats for a vintage show car look. If you are on a budget, single stage urethanes combine color and gloss in one coat for a factory-like finish. We also make flats and mattes for those who prefer a low-gloss look.

A Clear Shine
Clear coats are mandatory when using basecoats, and we recommend them with metallic single-stage paints as well. They give your car that showroom gloss you love and can be buffed down. These finishes also provide added UV protection for the basecoat. Eastwood has several clear coat options for just the right amount of luster. Eastwood Automotive Paint Clear Coats

We understand the reluctance for DIYers to head to an auto body shop for a paint job. They have worked hard, investing a lot of time and money into their projects, and don't want to put such an important step in someone else's hands. But even the best, most highly recommended body shops come with a bit of mystery when it comes to quality or color matching. It can be a process of trial and error, and a restoration enthusiast would rather learn those errors themselves, on their own terms and time.
You can get the same results as a professional body shop. You can learn to use automotive paint easily, with our Eastwood four-step paint system. With Eastwood, you'll be able to bring your vision for your project to life. You'll catch eyes and drop jaws whether you head to the next show or just head out for a cruise.

How to Paint your Car on a Budget
To get started, you need to develop a game plan. The key to a successful paint job is planning your steps, taking your time, and properly prepping the surface. If you're in a hurry, DO NOT attempt to paint your car. If you cut corners prepping the vehicle for paint, it will be very noticeable in the final finish or shortly down the road. To properly paint a vehicle, there's a lot more involved than spraying paint onto the vehicle.

When you're working with hot metal, an ordinary workshop table is apt to crash and burn under the pressure - sometimes literally. Eastwood welding tables and work stands are designed to handle the heavy loads and heat that are common with welding or plasma cutting projects. Made of heavy-gauge steel, ssthese welding benches have elevated work surfaces that you can set doors, fenders or hoods directly on while working. You'll be more comfortable and more effective than if you're slouched over on a concrete floor.
We carry several styles of welding tables for DIYers who need a good place to work. Eastwood has folding welding stands that store easily when not in use, adjustable welding tables that can be set at different angles and slatted plasma cutting tables that make it easy to clamp projects in place. Turn your fender stand into a welding workstation with a work stand welding top or get a fixturing set-up table for precision fabrication. In addition to the welding stands and accessories developed by our R&D guys, Eastwood also carries a number of CertiFlat modular fabrication table kits for projects of any size. Customer satisfaction is 100 percent guaranteed on all of our welding equipment.
