Wow...damn good job for a rattle can! Did u sand/prep it at all first?

 

the wheels and mirrors are today. I actually thought about fitting my 20's back on but the tires would kill my fenders or vice-versa.

 

Yes I "prepped" it. I used a sanding pad thats basically plastic abrasive, Its maroon in color and you can get them at autoprts stores. Real cheap and doesnt clog. Sanded the whole vehicle with two of them( my buddy helped). Then I didnt even wash it, I wiped it down with reducer to clean the dust off and tacked it. Then I sprayed. Not a single spot fish eyed or pulled back like it was contaminated. Plus this paint is some tough stuff so it really is great. I drove in the rain yesterday and got road film all over it, got up this morning and you cant even tell its been wet. There is NO dirty water spots or spray on it like you would have with a normal gloss job.

 

Prep is key for sure.. If you want to get rid of the lines, go over the truck with a very mild scuff pad, it will bring it all out to a single color, get rid of the lines.. I can tell you first hand how good things can come out with a rattle can. I have done stuff that looks like it was done in a booth with old rattle paint.. Looks damn good(well the pics do any way)

 

yeah, i have actually painted my foxbody coupe before with the rattle can and everyone asked me who painted it for me. lol I said, its krylon, they looked like they had just saw santaclause..they didnt know what to say.

I will do the scuff pad today to see if it helps. I dont want to lighten it up though. i sure dont want it grey.

 

I need a roll pan like WOAH. it would help the looks x 1,000

 

Yah just do it very light with a very mild pad, do a small area to see if you like the reuslts

 

gotcha

 

damn for some spray paint came out pretty good i have always thought about a flat black truck........

 

Great job. Looks killer. How many cans did you use?
