Then get some nasty little red paint and call the resultant job, non-skid. :>}) Seriously folks, these body and paint how to ??? can be and will be answered at either of 2 web sites devoted to the craft with us DIYers being welcomed with open arms. www.autobodystore.com and www.paintucation.com have great message boards and input that is second to none. Pop in and ask away.
They both have videos for sale as well.

You might also try your local automotive paint jobber for info. Some are very helpful to the DIYers and some won't waste their time. You may get lucky. You might also check local pawn shops to see what they might have in used DA sanders and paint guns...
Just tossing out ideas...
