Preparation
Before you begin painting the club car body, you need to properly prepare the surface. This involves cleaning the body with a degreaser, sanding it to remove any dirt or debris, and then applying a primer. The primer will help the paint to adhere to the body and will also help to protect the body from rust.
Painting
Once the body has been properly prepared, you can begin painting. You can use a paint gun or a spray can to apply the paint. If you are using a paint gun, you will need to thin the paint according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once the paint has been thinned, you can apply it to the body in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next coat.
Clear Coat
Once the paint has dried completely, you can apply a clear coat. The clear coat will help to protect the paint from the elements and will also give the body a glossy finish. Apply the clear coat in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next coat.
Tips
- Always wear a respirator when painting.
- Paint in a well-ventilated area.
- Allow each coat of paint to dry completely before applying the next coat.
- Use a high-quality paint and clear coat for best results.
- If you are not comfortable painting the club car body yourself, you can hire a professional to do it for you.

Painting a club car body is a relatively simple process, but it is important to take the time to properly prepare the surface and to use high-quality paint and clear coat. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can achieve a professional-looking finish that will last for years to come.
