Aerosol automotive paint..

Would this be ok to do a fender? A whole car?

I have painted my own fenders many times using Aerosol can. Just get good paint preferably from a paint shop that can match the paint and put it in a can for you. if you are going to use it for a bumper use Flex paint. For a bumper you will need at least 2 cans of paint. Dont listen to them if they tell you to use 1. You only need about 1 can for the clear coat though. Looks good if you do it right and sand, sand, sand.

Now as for painting the whole car; it could be done but I dont think you would want to since an aerosol covers much less than a paint gun and to do it right, you will have to apply i in very light coats wasting a lot of paint. And to buy enough aerosol paint to do the whole car, you will spend a lot of money. As much as buying a compressor and your own paint gun and paint. If you buy that, then it will save you money in the long run and if you get good enough using it, u can paint parts for people and charge them. Soon it could make its worth back.

Good luck.

And your more likely to screw up with an aerosol spray can. Orange peel and tiger striping is notorious when using cans. You have to have a pretty good wrist to paint decently with a can.

It would also help to get the widespray cans. I think most of the plasticote brands have the widespray cans. It will cover more area than a basic aresole paint can.
