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? |
