Art & Inspiration Let's see some rattle can excellence

We all know the outcome of pro paintwork, now let's see some rattle can excellence, doesn't need to be the entire car lol, just some designs, hopefully lace, fades, candy....

With candy, flake and 2k clear available in a rattle can, it makes it a bit more easier to do for someone who doesn't get into painting on a pro level.

 

Firewall is all rattle canned primer and paint. Just like a spray gun it’s all about good wet overlaps.

 

The lights were painted with the finest Rustoleum available!

 

Dash panel.

 

Rattle canned the dash, the column, and the steering wheel.

 

Wall hanger with LED lighting.

 

It fits in the "Driveway Paint Job" category too

 

My 30 I built many years ago rattle can flat black

 

Headliner painted on a 1949 Chevy I built.

 

Don’t know about “excellence “, but here is the firewall on my 32.
Tractor Supply Ford light grey, still wet, dried to a semi-gloss. “OK” for the beater look.

 

Cowl is a little duller than the firewall touch up with rattle can.
Hell everything but the air clean in my this pic has been SSSSSssssssst.

 

What primer and topcoat did you use Johnny?

 

Good ol Rustoleum

 

Duplicolor lacquer primer (lots of repeat recoating/blocking)(was a cut up firewall I welded back together) and Krylon finish.
This didn’t happen over night. All that primer needed to gas out first.

 

Firewall turned out real nice.
I used (a bunch) of Duplicolor self etching primer on the roll bar in my Nova with Krylon semi flat black, I'm pleased with the outcome, seems durable.
Thinking the dust will help protect it.

 

Dash

 

If you like red, the red paint in spray cans from Case IH farm tractor dealers goes on nice and is tough. My boat tail project will get farm equipment paint but I haven't deided on the color.

 

Fender antique gold

 

Nice work everyone!

 

Van Sickle from Tractor Supply Flat Black

 

I don't use the cans much, but I did recently paint the wood that goes between the steel substructure and the deck planks on my 41 Ford PU bed. The deck boards will be stained and varnished (Spar) but these are mostly hidden unless you are prowling around under my truck looking for a catalytic converter to saw off.

I used a paste wood filler to seal the grain in this red oak, sanded and applied Satin Black Krylon, about 3 full cans. After drying I cleared in a 3X clear varnish in a rattle can.

All that crap on the floor is the paste wood filler I sanded off and knocked through the holes.

 

Cheapo Walmart gloss black, didn't even upgrade to krylon. When I get the fenders banged out they will get Rust-Oleum gloss black from the gallon can.

 

Rattle can laquer from our local paint store (Bob's Paintland).

 

Rust Oleum appliance white, eight coats. I think this picture is before cut and polish

 

Here it is after assembly

 

well everything on my Turtledeck T so far has been rustoleum products, other than the header paint.



Barring my non-attempt at bodywork, it turned out well



color is french lilac

I also painted my last coupe with, I think... krylon?



And to prove that I can do bodywork and fancy stuff, my highschool driver before I chopped it, had this sweet Lace/ Endless line/ Candy fade.

It was based with krylon flat black, then krylon baby blue, covered in various model car lacquer paints



I was really proud of that roof.

Here's my "2 stage" paint job. Grey is Krylon, red is Rustoleum .Sprayed on my patio. Didn't want overspray in the garage. Many coats, lots of sanding between. In all honesty it did receive color sanding and clear coat.
