Re: spray paint?
heres what i would do if its your first tim go to a harbor freight or some thing likeit and but a cheap syphon feed spray gun not a cheap gravity feed just a syphon they spray ok get a compressor,barrow or ren at tool rental
and either spray it with a duplicor quart from auto parts shop or even use a quart of rustoleum and just thin it out 50 50 heres my cart i sprayed it with hunter green and then air brushed it using plastic stencils turned out pretty good but i've probibly got 30 hours in it just remember spray really lightly tu avoud runs and you can awlays wet sand and reclear hope this helps.. |

Or for $180 you could wrap it in vinyl which will hide a multitude of sins.

Check with your local budget body shop. I asked the boys @ Maaco what they would charge. They charged me $75 to shoot it. The paint would cost me that much.

You can also check your local auto parts store for fleet paint. It comes in a multitude of colors and costs much less. It is the same quality as custom mixed auto paints.

Re: spray paint?
If you know something of painting and are patient, You can do it with a spray bomb. For the best quality try auto paint stores and see if the do spray can fills. I fixed a spot on my sons BMW a couple years ago and it came out as good as could have been done. Better than some shops. I wish I had taken a picture of the before and after, because everytime I tell this story no one believes me.
If your wanting a show jobpay for one |
