Repainting/refreshing the JFrame

Question

I have a "car" made with various objects using graphics g and I want to move it when a button is pressed. With that, I had no problem, but I have a problem with its path. When the car is moved, the old position is not cleared out.

Code of the car (to move when button is pressed):

    static void gPostavi2(Graphics g){
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;

    for(int x=500; x>89; x--){
        //risanje
        g2d.setColor(Color.blue);
        g2d.fillRect(x+10, 351, 118, 23);
        g2d.fillRect(x+12, 321, 30, 40);
        g2d.fillRect(x+45, 330, 83, 20);
        g2d.setColor(Color.black);      
        g2d.fillOval(x+19, 362, 20, 20);
        g2d.fillOval(x+90, 362, 20, 20);
        g2d.drawString("2t", x+70, 344);
        try {

            Thread.sleep(5);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }       
}

In this class are only methods for moving things around, the class extends another that has non-moving objects, buttons, labels,... and the paintComponent method.

How can I clear the old position, every time the for statement goes around ?

EDIT: some more code down here. In the main class I have only this code:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    staticnaGrafika.dodajGumbe();
}

In staticnaGrafika I have a ton of code, but this is the beginning of paintComponent:

public class staticnaGrafika extends JPanel{

staticnaGrafika(){
        setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
    }
    public Dimension getPreferredSize(){
        return new Dimension(1100, 740);
    }

public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
    super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2d.setColor(Color.RED);

        //opticno stikalo 
        //preveri, ce ga plosca prekriva pri max. dvigu
        g2d.setColor(Color.black);
        g2d.fillOval(21, 148, 33, 33);
        g2d.setColor(Color.yellow);
        g2d.fillOval(22, 149, 31, 31);
        g2d.setColor(Color.black);      
        g2d.fillRect(13, 159, 11, 1); //el. prikljucnice
        g2d.fillRect(13, 166, 10, 1);
        g2d.drawOval(7, 157, 5, 5);
        g2d.drawOval(7, 164, 5, 5);

        //naslon; spodnji omejevalec hoda bata
        g2d.setColor(Color.black);
        g2d.fillRect(5, 350, 13, 43);
        g2d.fillRect(5, 380, 63, 13);
        g2d.fillRect(262, 350, 408, 13);
        g2d.fillRect(262, 350, 13, 43);
        g2d.fillRect(212, 380, 63, 13);

there is just painting in here. Below I have another method, which adds buttons, actionListeners:

    public static void dodajGumbe() {
    final JFrame f = new JFrame();

    //dvig, stop, spust
    JButton dvig = new JButton("DVIGNI");
    dvig.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    dvig.setFocusPainted(false);
    dvig.setBounds(850,15,120,30);

    JButton stop = new JButton("STOP");
    stop.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    stop.setFocusPainted(false);
    stop.setBounds(850,50,120,30);

    JButton spust = new JButton("SPUSTI");
    spust.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    spust.setFocusPainted(false);
    spust.setBounds(850,85,120,30);

    //komande bremen
    JButton postavi2 = new JButton("nalozi breme");
    postavi2.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    postavi2.setFocusPainted(false);
    postavi2.setBounds(760,240,120,30);

    JButton odvzemi2 = new JButton("razlozi breme");
    odvzemi2.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    odvzemi2.setFocusPainted(false);
    odvzemi2.setBounds(760,275,120,30);

    JButton postavi5 = new JButton("nalozi breme");
    postavi5.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    postavi5.setFocusPainted(false);
    postavi5.setBounds(760,330,120,30);

    JButton odvzemi5 = new JButton("razlozi breme");
    odvzemi5.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    odvzemi5.setFocusPainted(false);
    odvzemi5.setBounds(760,365,120,30);

    Container gumbi = f.getContentPane();

    spust.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){ 
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
        dinamicnaGrafika.gSpusti(f.getGraphics());
    }});

    dvig.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){ 
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            dinamicnaGrafika.gDvigni(f.getGraphics());
    }});

    stop.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){ 
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            dinamicnaGrafika.gStop(f.getGraphics());
    }});

    postavi2.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){ 
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            dinamicnaGrafika.gPostavi2(f.getGraphics());
    }});

    odvzemi2.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){ 
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            dinamicnaGrafika.gOdvzemi2(f.getGraphics());
    }});

    postavi5.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){ 
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            dinamicnaGrafika.gPostavi5(f.getGraphics());
    }});

    odvzemi5.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){ 
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            dinamicnaGrafika.gOdvzemi5(f.getGraphics());
    }});

    gumbi.add(dvig);
    gumbi.add(stop);
    gumbi.add(spust);
    gumbi.add(postavi2);
    gumbi.add(odvzemi2);
    gumbi.add(postavi5);
    gumbi.add(odvzemi5);

    f.getContentPane();
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.add(new staticnaGrafika());
    f.pack();
    f.setVisible(true);
}

You probably forgot to call

super.paintComponent(g);

in your paintComponent() method

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
    super.paintComponent(g);  //Clear screen before redraw
    //Your codes for painting..
}
