Perform a search for "painting" and you should get plenty of good advice.

I was wondering do you need to prime the car? what is the advantage or alternitive?? i just got an airbrush and do they make primer for airbrushes or should i just prime it with a can?? what about clearcoat? do they make a clearcoat for airbrushes?? where can i get this all??(i already have the airbrush) preferably offline.

go hit your local hobby shop man. yes the do make primer and yes they do make clear coat. i'm going to be posting pix of stage one of my custom supra this weekend once the paint has properly cured and i'll show you how well an airbrush can make a pint job look.
