Spray Can Paint Job?

[NightmareCB7]

Yes it would but it dont look too bad now. This was just a temp paint job just to see how the black would look. Itll be redone much better later down the road.

I did muti light coats with a good (not cheap) paint with the wide spray nasal. It costs more but looks 100 times better.

Heres what the cheap paint looks likes. This was my old rat rod van.

Well, here's my contribution to the rattle can paintjob world. Spray paint can come out really good if you just take your time, prep things properly and don't rush. I spent atleast a full weekend on the full paint jobs from prep, to paint to clear and buff.

spray paint can look good if you wet sand and buff it.

^ ooooohhhh snap!


Yeah, wetsand and buffing is an integral part of making it look good.

In my previous post, both of the B2200s had been wetsanded with 2000 grit, but I never buffed them.

The green truck was sprayed with Duplicolor Grabber Green and Duplicolor Gloss Black Engine Enamel, while the red truck was done in Duplicolor Ford Red Engine Enamel and Duplicolor Gloss Black Engine Enamel.
