My high school friends father used to paint cars professionally and we used to watch him paint so everything I learned was from him. He started us with spray cans, focusing our attention on prep work initially as it is one of the most important steps. You can actually achieve very good results using spray cans if done properly. Last night I was bored so I decided to paint some body panels that needed some attention due to clear coat issues. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. All materials were purchased from automotivetouchup.com. The parts were sanded to the base coat,I sprayed adhesion promoter over the sanded base coat and painted another base coat over that once it was dried. The key is the clear. They offer a 2 part urethane clear coat in a can. I sprayed multiple coats of clear and made sure not to overspray in the same locations, causing runs. Overall the panels came out beautiful. Not bad for rattle cans.
