is it rattle can? Looks kinda dull in the flash of the camera

[VtakFluid]

yea its a can lol
it look much better out here

[carbon_crash]

did you use the rattle can clear? Just fare warning, it probably will dull pretty quick in the car. Hit up The Bucky next time you want it painted, he has good prices as Pimp a$$ work!!

very very nice, just make the Honda Motor Co. Ltd. part stand out from the paint with like a different color, or some sanding. Thats just MY opinion, you dont have to listen to me if you dont want, but thats how i think it would look better...

either way, +1 it looks good.

What's wrong with rattle canning? If you know how to use it properly, it looks just as well

... if you wet sand and buff the **** out of it, lol. and then you'll never get close a base/clear paint job.

His work doesn't look bad. but for a couple extra bucks he could have gotten it painted base/clear.

He could have based it with rattle can and took it to a body shop and gotten it cleared.

my process was...
sand it down with 400 then 800 then 1000 .. so it was pretty smooth
then sprayed it with 3 coats and 3 more clear coats :D

i think it looks good man, its hard to get clear from a can to really shine like others

still looks dry sprayed bc of rattle can clear.

Wet sand the rattle can clear with 1k and reclear it with a heavy coat.
then once it's all cured wet sand again with 1500 and buff it, that should help with the dry spray/orange peel look.
