How to texture a model in LWJGL?

How do you paint a model car?

• I want to build model cars... The last one I built... I tried to Paint it candy apple red (gold base coat, then transparent red) the color came out amazing, but there is a bumpy texture, the texture feels kinda like sandpaper. How do I flatten it? If I sand a white model car, do I need to spray primer first? (talking plastic ones here and enamel paint) Do I HAVE to apply a clear-coat? Money is kinda tight and the car will likely just stay on my shelf. I may do a clear-coat later in life, sometime after the recession. And is spray paint cheaper at autozone or micheals?

• Answer:

  The bumpy texture is one of two probable problems: 1) Orange peel is caused by humidity in the air when spraying, OR if there are finger oils and such on the car. 2) Sand-paper finish is usually because you haven't shaken the can enough (10-15 minutes)... or the nozzle is slightly dirty. I ALWAYS primer first... and have several colors of primer... red, white, and grey ! Since you're painting CARS... You don't really need a clear-coat since you're already using a gloss finish. GOOD LUCK and sorry the first answerer is unhelpful
