    Lol if your gonna be doing a lot of painting you might aswell get something nice.
    Satas your best bet. But you can argue iwatas could be better if you know how to use them.

    If you must rattle can try to give a little more space between can and panel and go a little lighter and do 80% overlaps with each pass. there is a trick with paint. Its not heavier and less coats its ALWAYS LIGHTER AND MORE COATS, until coverage.

    yeah i know i use to spray with real paint years back i have a compressor a gravity feed spray gun i used for clear and a siphon i used for base coats and a crap gun for primer ive got buffers and rubbing compounds all that stuff.actually the guns belong to a moderator on here he bought a bunch of stuff and forgot to take the guns i think it was btlfed.ive been holding them for 3 years lololol

    ive just never been able to pull of a decent rattle can flat black ever. ive tried every way possible on side panels it looks good but hoods and roofs looks like crap.
    i would use my paint guns but i have no place to spray so im gonna give the rustoleum thing a shot 1 quart of flat and some thinner and a few foam rollers its not to exppensive like 35.00 for material since i have all the sanding stuff already and tape.
    yes i am....
