Okay so I am repainting my trunks in my LE. I had some paint put into cans when I bought the paint originally. Just so I would have it for touchup & whatever. I have gone through all 3 cans & am not finished. Painting with the rattle can has been a bit of a challenge. Now I need to get some more paint.
So should I just get a couple more in rattle cans? Or should I buy a paint gun at Harbor Freight? If I buy a gun do you have one you would recommend for a novice? Also if I go that route do I have to do anything different with the paint? When I get it in the can do I have to mix anything? |

Honestly I would just skip all that and sand it a little bit with 220. Or get those foam sanding blocks for the rough stuff and some scotch bright pads (From your local paint store..) Those things are wonderful for those area's.
Are you trying to remove the previous paint? Because you dont have to. You can spray primer down and sand over what you have, All you really have to do is scuff it up a little bit with like the scotch bright pads. BTW just so you know most of the mayco paint places will prep the area with a once over with a scotch bright pad, wipe the car down then spray paint.... Just so you know how LITTLE is necessary to apply color... |
