Re: DIY Color Change Paint Job/Repaint on the Cheap!

I have used rattle can pan before but IMO it looks good from far.... But far from good.. Not trying to put you down or anything but doesn't look anywhere near as nice as when it is painted the proper way but in for pics

Automotive laquor was not sprayed on buildings though lol...
I didnt know that sprayers were that old though. I just know that on cars, it wasnt til not too long ago. I saw something on speed channel about it once. with that guy who always does the DIY stuff. I cant remember the name off the top, but yeah...

Re: DIY Color Change Paint Job/Repaint on the Cheap!

My friend that has a WRX repaired and painted one of his fenders with rattle can and I could'nt even tell the difference between the fender paint and the oem paint. If done right rattle can paint jobs can look really good. After talking to my friend about it, I could tell he spent a ton of time on just that panel. I would hate to do an entire car. Good luck though.
