Rattle-Can?

J0rn3z · April 14th, 2009, 11:36 PM

Im feeling cheap, So im going to do a rattle can paint job, I thought i lost hope on it, but oh well, Im gonna go back at it, Whats some good brands? Has anyone else done a rattle can job? How shitty does it turn out to look?

I guess it depends on if your finger gets tired or not

It is hard to get a consistent coat, specially with a gloss rattle paint.

I'd see how much one of those really cheap jobs from Maaco or Earl Scheib if one is on your area. I've seen them run specials for like $299 before. Yes it is a $299 paint job but I bet it will look a lot better than a rattle can + your time and money to do it.

yeah if you do all the prep work and then take it to maco it can turn out pretty decent if the prep work is good maco will only scuff and paint

Hmmm, Im kinda feeling krylon flat black :]

I had a buddy rattle can 1/2 a car, and you could never tell.

J0rn3z · April 14th, 2009, 11:58 PM

I want to, Ive always just wanted to spray paint the shit out of a car, And it look half decent that is

i would go to maco myself if you didnt wont to pay alot of money, IMO you will hurt your self in the long run when you do have the car painted but thats just me.

If you have or can get access to a compessor and a spray gun, Dupli-Color sells pre- mixed paint by the quart at most auto part stores....

You must get harrassed by the cops in that all the time. I have one just like it with factory white paint. It gets 28 mpg. I drive it more than my gas guzzling explorer.
