I had to change the color of a car one night.
Used a broom and a bucket of house paint.
It worked.
We do what we have to.

 

It looks OK, but I have to agree with B/B Ford. You got a nice truck. I find that with rattle cans there is no way to a get even smooth surface, especially on areas like the top of the hood. I guess with spray cans it would be easy to touchup scratches too. I personally like automotive paint shot with a gun. You can see the difference in quality of the paint. The problem with spray cans or other paints, is if you want to get a professional paint job, you're going to have to strip all the spray paint off again. That's a lot work! unless you want to keep the paint you have on it. Even Earl Schieb does pretty good paint jobs. But it's no longer "I'll paint any car for $49.95". LOL...

 

Hey it works for me......I'm thinkin of doin the same thing for the old Toyota Tercel I bought for my 19 year old with 172,000 miles for $500.00! Hey it runs great...auto trans, AC and a good stereo....except it's Ugly green!!!! Hey when she gets her education or a real job I'll help her get something better...for now this is perfect, and a rattle can paint job just might make it look decent!!! Oh hell who am I kidding....it'll never look decent to a 19 year old girl...she wants my wife's Bimmer!!!

 

thanks for the support guys, i appreciate it.

wow, looks what a nice truck and to me theres nothing wrong with the paint.

 

4tl8ford, I have to ask, had you just pulled a robbery?


Who needs to change their paint color suddenly overnight?

 

You just dont have the heart to tell em, do you????

but in the real world,......flat purple/orange/peach/mint/lemon/salmon etc cost just the same, so there's just NO EXCUSE for boring *** flat black

 

rattle cans are good for testing out those ideas that looked ok on paper

 

where i have lived, like in laguna beach and carlsbad, there aren't any flat black cars, so it is kind of a novelty... if i moved out to the sticks, maybe i'd have more motivation to paint it sooner.

Check out this I painted this car for a friend and it cost me 150 bucks to do it and with a little more money it cold look alot better. The car was rattle canned white and black it looked like a demo car.

 

Dang impressive

 

Heck, that job is better than the Earl Shibe job I got done on my 87 LTD.

 

Thanks guys... I liked it for the money!

 

You got what you paid for and if you're happy that's all that matters anyhow.
