well the local hardware store had spray paint on sale, aco brand gloss, so its game on, i just have to wait until we have some nicer days, its going to be in the 90's for the next few days, way to hot to paint imo.

think 25 cans should do it, or should i buy more?
i just grabbed a case of 25, we will see.

 

Yeah I think 25 should do it lol. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

Are you sparying your truck? OMG lol.


its not gunna last unless you clear coat it too, and it takes lots of coats.

90 degree weather should be fine to paint in

 

lol, i have no money for clear, so gloss black is going to work.
trust me, its going to look %1000x better when im done.
and thats with painting over the rust and everything..

 

Deffently post some pics. Hope it turns out. I am just afraid of it not lasting.

I used outdoor pain on my derby car and it scuffed really really easy.

 

Well it should be interesting if nothing else. Make sure to take lots of pictures along the way, i'm curious to see how it turns out.

 

I painted an old Chevy cab with cans about 25 years ago.It turned out as good as a regular paint job.90 degree temps won't be the problem,but high humidity won't let the paint adhere as well.Just do it in a shady spot( I did it in an old garage) and use VERY light coats,letting it sit for an hour or two between coats.
As far as lasting,I noticed it didn't stone chip like the original paint.

 

yeah i really don't care about it fading, it will still look better then the flat black/rust i have on it now.

and if it does fade, nothing a little wax wont fix right?

 

Since you're painting over it anyhow, you may want to sand down some of the rust, and maybe cover over it with something that blocks rust. Hopefully it will stop the rust from coming back and keep your paint from bubbling up in those areas.

 

me and a buddy have been wanting to do this to his truck for a long time now.. let me see how it turns out

 

if you wet sand it and clear coat it, it should come out pritty good... as long as its not crap paint

 

wow this will be interesting... you should camo spray it, that would look bad ***!!!

 

you should get the rust areas very clean before painting, and the temperature will be fine if its 90. thats what i painted my grille and other pieces in.

i think this should be a fun project, nothin a lil spray paint cant fix

 

instead of buyin more send my stuff lol

 

black, white and gray camo!

 

I painted my 1st car with cans... And it turned out pretty damn good.. Just have to take your time and tape everything off so its clean... wet sand the primer before you paint the new stuff... and try not to leave lines...

Here is my car when i painted it with gunmetal spray paint... I dont think it will take 25 cans though.. as my car took like 12

My shaved antenna hole... All the car needed was wet sanded and cleared and im sure it would have looked great... But i was 18 and didnt care what it looked like... Just raced it..

 

black, white and gray camo!

 

cant wait to see how it turns out

 

haha it will be in the mail tomorrow, been busy and stuff..

 

i planned on doing it in your back yard, its the only place i can think of, we will see tho.

 

sounds fun,

If I were you, how about instead of, friday night you buying a bottle of Smirnoff and buying low quality weed from your buddy, you save that money for some CHEAP cans of clear coat.

what the hell...lol that was out of nowhere..haha

 

I didn't mean it in a mean way, I was just making a situation that he could save some money. I'm pretty sure I talk to him on AIM sometimes, and I was just joking....


Doesn't everyone buy drugs and alcohol friday night?
