Re: Cheap Spray Paint

I know some cars that had full spray can paint jobs on them , only difference between what this young feller done is they did proper metal finish repairs first and instead of using resins they just replaced fenders and doors with junker parts that were salvageable. He also left out using body solvent to clean it after he sanded , thats a 6months to a year no no as well as the resin.
However depending on the paint he used , if he used a spray can of glossy enamel for top coat he might be ok. Just gotta learn how to maintain it which is simple too. I did lots of research into differences in spray paint enamels and auto enamels made to be used with a paint gun and can with reducers , well the can has one nice thing about it , no messing with reducers. The spray paint enamels are polishable and can last as long as manufacturers paints. (my teacher has a 56 chev he painted with enamel 10 years ago and you can still stand 5-6 feet away and tell what time it is on your watch through the reflection and it is not peeling , cracking or fading whatsoever) it depends mostly on the metal finish and time you put into it. Id say my teachers experiment went well.
