feedback on my rattlecan job.

[cb7beater]

first off let me start by saying im not a painter/body guy.so dont kill me if i have major flaws,cuz i knw i f'd up in some places.
clear coat was peeling off and was anoying me,so sanded it down and rattle canned it.my interior is brown,and outside was painted a custom brown before so decided to do a flat brown.plus i wanted to be different to everyone else that does flat black or olive green.

and the products that helped me along the way

Not bad at all. Tho I think u couldves saved more cash using the .99 cent brown. They have it in flat also.

The hardest part is the hood. Because its a large surface area.

[cb7beater]

that for damn sure,i was getting so frustrated with the hood,and it was super hott outside so it started to get drips on the hood.i gotta color sand it and hit it with a couple more coats.

everyone at my job liked it.they said it made them want to eat a snickers or tootsie roll. lol

What rims are those and what size? I like them a lot and the paint looks good bro way better then others iv seen

[cb7beater]

thanks i tried my best for a pretty windy day.
rims are xxr 521s,16x8 +20 with 2.25 inch lip

[Minze]

that looks awesome!!!

+20 offset is so perfect on a cb.

Did your spray can have a fan style pattern? Or was it the kind that goes all over the place..?

Also invest in a spray can holder gun. Makes it a lil bit easier to hold the can. Shit is like 2 or 3 bucks. Just grab one.






Edit-why do u have wood up? To stop some wind??? Rule1 neverspray on a windy day. You will waste paint, and u will waste paint!

I remember I sprayed in the wind and all that shit just smacked me rite in the face... my facial hair had paint on it, arms, hands lol.

Btw some laten cheap gloves won't hurt either to use. I don't like paint on my hands, unless u plan to huff it afterwards

Could have atleast shaved the plate holes if that's where you're going to put it.

[cb7beater]

Yea the wood was up to help block the wind.I woulda waited for another but I'm always busy and this was pretty much my only time for a while.yea I want to look for a fan style tip.

And this isn't a finished project,I'm having the pros cover up the license plate holes and the antanna hole.I'm just doing this to hold it over till I get a real paint job.

Major props on the rattle can job. I rattle canned my hood and roof and it came out pretty good. Took me a very long time to sand the areas tho.

Is this the glossest brown you could get?

[SNOOZE]

Came out good bro. I just did my whole car. And it came out decent, chek out my members ride thread

OP, looks good! Much better than most flat rattle jobs ive seen. Keep it up.

[mappyCB7]

not bad. Now do the rest!!

[Honda_Lady]

not bad, i have been thinking of painting my car with a rattle can. how long did it take you in the prep time and spray time? i wouldn't be painting mine a flat color though.
