Hot Rods Does Rattle Can Spray Can Paint Suck...or is it just me???

^^ Wow, sweet!

Whoever thought up the card deck tire masking trick I owe you beer. However as you can see, due to my 50 years of rattle can expertise and deft application skills it's hardly necessary.

 

I like this thing, use your paint........................works great.

Cut your fingernails shorter...?

 

I just use Valspar enamel hardener, its $14 on amazon, couple drops depending on how much paint I'm mixing. The acetone helps it dry quicker, you can use naptha as well, its a little "faster". The thinner type with rustoleum is kinda like fast, medium, slow reducer for real automotive paint. If you use laquer thinner it takes forever. Rustoleum is pretty forgiving, I've cut it with kerosene in a pinch while brushing.

Just get a gun and start shooting something, ebay automotive enamel is about $80 for gallon paint, reducer, hardener, get a quart of their clear and mix in about 1/4 volume on the last coat and it holds up well.

I just got sick of spending the prep time, shooting with rattle can and having it look good for 6 months then turn to shit
