you sand it all down before you paint, so why would that matter?

if u put like 3 layers of primer on later on u can wet sand it and its ready for paint... with rattle cans u have to sand it all the way off and then spray primer anyways

I have some friends w/ rattle canned cars and they look pretty sweet....flat black w/ clear vinyls is pretty nice i think. If you're going to repaint someday it isn't going to affect anything because like kicker said, you're going to sand it all again anyway....

I use all PPG product, and a great durable sealer that we use, and rodders also use for their flat black "suede" paint job is DP90LF. my preference is to avoid rattle can since it clogs paper super fast and is just a pain in the ass to prep with. I hate wasting time to strip it off.

i know a guy who spray painted his bug red and has won a few shows with it

it all about how u do it and buy the most expinsive spray paint out there you get what you pay for
