It does not mean that you cant or shouldnt do it, it just signifies be sure youre ready to see the job done from beginning to end. If you do not finish the job completely or the right way then youre going to be driving something that may be a bit embarrassing to the eye at least.

To paint a car takes careful planning and ensuring that you’ve all of the supplies you require and the time to go through at least a couple of the stages.

There’re things that you are going to need by way of supplies. You will need masking tape, dust mask, goggles, sandpaper, wax/grease remover, primer paint, paper for covering, car wash and detergent, paint sprayer, putty with knife.

When you purchase your sandpaper make sure you purchase fine and thick grit, as you will need both textures. The amount of primer and urethane based paint you require would be dependent on the size of your car. Whether or not you want to utilise a paint sprayer is completely up to you, say you choose not to then the regular spray paint cans will do fine. Be sure you wear proper clothing when you go to paint a car so your skin isnt exposed.

Lastly be sure you have the proper space to work in. You need to be able to work around your car. You most surely need good ventilation, and you’ll need to be able to protect it against the elements.

First off you must actually wash your car well. It doesn’t matter how clean it will look to you unless you just washed it, there’ll be whatever debris on it that you must remove, otherwise the paint will not adhere properly. Then once youve it washed nice and clean youve to get every of the old wax off it so that’s where the wax/greaser remover comes in. It’s really crucial you go through these steps when you go to paint a car.

You’ll in all likelihood notice that you have a couple of rough spots on your latest finish. Say you go to paint a car that is in this condition, you’ll not get good coverage with the new paint. Put little pit marks caused by stones or things like that just use a little putty to fill them in. The use the sand paper to gently smooth the rough spots and small holes. Make sure you rub out all the debris from sanding.

In order to paint a car, you must be very certain that its dry after your washing. This will take a few hours. Be sure it doesn’t get dirty once again. Next masking tape off the areas that you do not want to get paint on.

Totally prime the car. Then sand it gently again. Be sure to wipe the residue off.

Now you are ready to apply the base coat of the new colour. Preferably with a spray gun. Completely spray it and then let it dry for about 15 minutes. And then you could apply the second coat. Most often you could get away with 2 coats.

Let it dry for about 1 hour then you can apply the clear coat. Let dry 15 minutes then re apply. You’ll in all likelihood need about 3 coats of the clear to get a good finish.

Frank Sinatra Goes Bossa Nova With Antonio Carlos Jobim

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

One of the frequently heard criticisms of Frank Sinatras work is that he was essentially a one trick pony. He is often accused of not being a technically adept vocalist, and simply reworking a formula over and over again. While Sinatra certainly knew what worked for him, and what kind of songs and arrangements he liked this assertion is patently unfair and displays a profound ignorance of the entire body of his work. If you dig deeper in the Sinatra oeuvre, youll find some amazing examples of vocal prowess. Perhaps his best work in this regard came from his collaboration with legendary Brazilian guitarist Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Jobim is considered the founding father of Bossa Nova, and certainly deserves a bulk of the credit for popularizing the genre in North America. His collaboration with Sinatra on a samba tinged album Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim was a critical and commerical success. Sinatra had the highest respect for Jobim as an artist and liked him as a friend. He would try to work out the logistics for the two to record together at several points in his career, but it never came to pass.

“Wave”, written by Jobim and arranged by Eumir Deodato, is among the best of all of the Sinatra/Jobim collaborations. It features some amazing vocal work by Sinatra, including perhaps the lowest notes he ever hit on a recording. It is said that for the rest of his life Sinatra would listen to “Wave” just to hear how good he sounds hitting the bass notes.

This song was to have been a featured track on a second collection of Sinatra/Jobim collaborations, but for some inexplicable reason it was never released as such.One story is that Sinatra himself nixed the release because he didn’t like the cover art. The photographer that insisted on posting Sinatra in front of a Greyhound bus mayhave been responsible for depriving the world of a second collection of Sinatra with a bossa nova twist.

“Wave”, along with the majority of the songs intended for the “Sinatra/Jobim” album finally surfaced on “Sinatra and Company” in 1970. The “b” side is some of Sinatra’s ill-fated attempts to cover popular songs of the day (“Close To You”, It’s Not Easy Being Green”, “Leaving On A Jet Plane”). These are recordings that even the most rabid Sinatra fans consider among his most forgettable work, and a stark contrast to the masterful collaboration with Jobim on the album’s “A” side. “Wave” also appeared on the Reprise box set and of course of the “Complete Reprise Recordings” suitcase collection.

Will Friedwald, in his book on Sinatra’s music “Sinatra: The Song Is You” described the songs from the Sinatra/Jobim sessions as having “flexibility and delicacy, as if they could be blown about by a soft Brazilian breeze”. They remain among the most listenable and romantic work of Sinatra’s epic career, as well as representing perhaps his finest vocal effort.
