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? |

I plan to try out my new paint gun this weekend. I ended up getting a full gallon of L80E.
I am going to load my car into my trailer to get my temps up. I can heat the trailer with no problem. While I couldn't do a complete paint job in the trailer. Doing the trunks is doable I think. I will do my test on a front trunk lid. Once I get a feel for it & it is spraying even. I will tackle the trunks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/212.gif) I also got a quart of Phoenix red. I don't actually need the red but got it just in case. My front valance has one of the screw holes broken. The main piece is still there. Basically there is a slit instead of a hole. I need to add some more glass. So the Phoenix red is just in case I need to redo the front valance. |
