Thread: Spray can paint..

Tweet

Would a semi-gloss be close? Reason I ask is even though spray can paint is getting better in quality(top brand name) I would think that doing anything to it(steel wool) would make the elements(sun etc.) make it look bad before long???Before I got my compressor and guns I used hundreds of spray cans to primer several vehicles.Despite what you may hear,it does last a few years but getting a good consistent look with gloss spray can is 'alot' harder than using a compressor/gun.There are so many different makes/types of black primer that I would try different ones until I found one that was at least close.
As far as the steel-wool and wax or polish,I don't know.That sounds like what some may have done in the 'lacquer days' of the 50's

if you have a spray gun now maybe flat black used on dodge and plymouth bonets like 340 darts 383 cars

Thanks for the kind words. I would love to do a nice coat of semi-gloss myself. I have a pretty large compressor, but would not even know where to begin. I know I have to do magical things involving primer, thinner, strainers, etc. But it is beyond me

What I am trying to do right now is to find somebody locally woho would be willing to barter a paint job with me. Until then, the can primer looks very uneven.

i though the same way years ago but with pratice on the wall of the garage then pieces of steel, just try centri acryl over lap by half and watch the edge of the spray pattern were it flows together, start at the bottom of the panel and work up and start at a seam( door) and work your way back to it.centri is the hardest paint i have seen that resest runs you can blast it on ,try it.
