i think you're the only one that read it.

to everyone else, notice the GHETTO part of the title? i spent 50 dollars on 20 cans of paint, and sandpaper. that was after the FIRST coat.i was going to wetsand it today, but i'm lazy. when it gets wetsanded, and another coat, it will look a lot better, trust me, this isn't the first rattle can job i've done. and about the gun, if i wanted to spray it with a gun, i would have, but since i don't own one, i don't want to buy one. i'll stick to this, because it's cheap, and looks better than the blue.

oh yeah, they were all the same brand, and same color, bought in the original box. it's just me trying out different methods on different parts of the car to see how much paint i was going to be using.

 

well cheap air paint gun is only about 15bucks.....

bought it from harborfreight store...... havent used it yet BUT works awhole lot beter than spray cans..... also puts the paint on thicker so is BETER! spray paint is REALY THIN.........

 

Well if you can pull off a nice paint job, go ahead. i did a spray can job on a previous bumper, and you have to do even motions, not too fast and not too slow. And make sure you put enough layers of clear coat.

 

But then you have to figgure cost of a good compressor and hoses.

 

consider it an investment

 

i've got an air compressor and a 50 foot line, if i ever get it back. the problem isn't doing it with a gun, it's me wanting to do it on the cheap. for me to break out the compressor, buy a gun, and then buy the paint, it would have set me back a good bit of money. a 50 gallon tank uses a lot of power when you're spraying. i've used it before, i know. either way, the car isn't meant to look good, it's meant to be one color. or, as close to one color as it will get.

 

Please tell me you remembered to etch prime those bare metal spots!
