Painting a vehicle is both a science and an art. Finding a company that can perform both aspects is a shot in the dark sometimes. You get either a great g price or an outstanding result.  Not often can you find both.  Sudden Impact Auto Body is one such place. Not only do they do amazing body work but they top I off with a paint job equal to the body work.  Here is what they do on such a high level. http://www.suddenimpactauto.com

Primer
The primer is the first coat to be applied. The main function of the primer is to act as a leveler and protector, and to make the base coat easier to apply..

As a leveler: this is important since the cab often has marks and other forms of surface defect after being manufactured in the body shop. A smoother surface is created by leveling out these defects and therefore a better final product.

As a protector: the primer will protect from corrosion, heat differences, bumps, stone-chips, and UV-light.

The primer coat makes it easier for paints to stick to the surface a more varied

Basecoat
The base coat is applied after the primer coat. This coat contains the visual properties of color and effects, and is usually the one referred to as the paint. Base coat used in the automotive applications is commonly divided into three categories, solid, metallic, pearlescent colors.

The solid paints have no sparkle effects except the color. This is the easiest type of paint to apply, and the most common type of paint for heavy transportation vehicles, construction equipment and aircraft. It is also widely used on cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

The metallic paints contain aluminum flakes to create a sparkling and grainy effect, or as people generally refer as a metallic look. This paint is harder to manage than the solid paints because of the extra dimensions to consider. Metallic and pearl paints must be applied evenly to ensure a consistent looking finish without light and dark spots which are often called "mottling".

Pearlescent Paints contain special iridescent pigments commonly referred to as "pearls". Pearl pigments impart a colored sparkle to the finish which works to create depth of color. Pearlescent paints can be two stages in nature (pearl base color + clear) or 3 stages (basecoat + pearl midcoat + clearcoat).

Clearcoat
Usually sprayed on top of a colored basecoat, clearcoat is a glossy and transparent coating that forms the final contact with the environment. Because of this, clearcoat has to be durable enough to resist abrasion and chemically stable enough to withstand UV light, especially in the desert, where Sudden Impact does its magic. Clearcoat can be either solvent or water-borne. One part and two part formulations are sometimes referred to as 1k and 2k respectively.
