just wet sand the primer with some 400 grit before you put your paint on!

Not sure if you know this, but you're not going to be "ballin" with a rattle can paint job on your car. Sorry, had too quote you on that.



Hope everything turns out good for you though.

You do know for under $100 you can get a gallon of real auto paint right?

[frostbyte]

yes resand the car. wet sand it id ur broke, n out of a rattlecan ur not gonna really get a cheap ballin paint job (except the lil ball that makes it rattle). ur not gonna get the shine u think u will have. honestly, if its ur first attempt the primer will prob look better than the paint. if ur wantin it to be present able save for automotive paint, or try sanding it to the point ur happy n let maaco do it for $2oo bux is ur best bet.

Roll it on. Seriously. For $100.

Has anybody every try this rolling it on.... And how did it come out.......

[egibbs123]

can buy a cheap spray gun at walmart for $20...

Rolling works fine if you prep the car properly, apply the paint evenly and then wet sand it back smooth.

i painted my car for about $150.turned out very well IMO and others for a hour or 2 of work.

Just head to Finishmasters**AutoColor** in lawrenceville or chamblee tucker off 85.
have them Mix up the paint for ya for prolly $70ish per quart and then get a gallon of clear with harnder for $60ish depending on company *my SMART clear was 66 and some change$

if the car is primerd,you need to either sand it with 320g and go back over it with 600g..or like somebody said wetsand it with probably 600g also.

then just go to town..I have a DIY on here from when i did mine.

Oh ok then.... Hey thanks 1Nonlyaccord for the DIY it was alot of help and your car turn out great mane....... I'll most likely go off of what you did.... But the rolling on I really don't know what much bout that..... I would really have to do that on a project car to see how it turns it out first..... But all you guys were a big help and thanks again.....
