So it sprayed fine until you let off? Remember to start all your sprays off the item you're painting and end your sprays once you're past the end of the item you're painting.

Yeah we ended up doing that, it was just tricky at certain spots on the hood.

It just takes some practice to be able to easily maneuver the can through certain areas without stopping the spray

[1996 GT]

Hahaha, either way the thing shouldn't of shot out blobs of paint man.

painted a black s4 bumper and it turned out alright like 6/10 haha. I guess I suck at painting

Black is the most difficult color man. It shows every little imperfection.

after reading this i was inspired to try it myself, ive painted many things before with rattle cans including rims, interior peices, my decklid, tailights etc. i know i can do it but my question is i was looking for an exact match paint like that duplicolor perfect match but cant find it in my color online anywhere. its paint code TL satin silver. any ideas where i can get it?

[mcqueen]

Check local auto parts stores. You may have to see if a paint store can mix up some or contact Ford and see if they possibly sell it (I imagine a paint store could put it in rattle cans for a fee).

hey i painted my wiper arms yesterday...with the benefits of working at a john deere dealer, i sandblasted them all down, primed them with john deere buff primer sealer, then painted them with john deere blitz black which is a low gloss paint. after that dried i gave it a couple coats of duplicolor clear enamel. it looks awsome. ill try posting some pics tonight

automotivetouchup.com. They make good stuff. Their primer sands really well also.

Very nice write up youve inspired me to just paint my cobra front and gt rear when I get them instead of paying a shop an extra 300 to do it lol

I think I used 4 cans of color and 5 cans of clear. But a buddy wanted to help me and that sort of resulted in my having to do extra work
