Respraying panels with spray cans

[383 hatch]

So, you're buying more spray cans to get it better? For the money you're spending on spray cans, you could have almost gone to Supercheap and bought a $99 compressor and spray gun...Would have got a far better result.

FYI, it's a guard (or if you're American, Fender) not a wing.

ugh, thank god someone said it.

just my $0.02, wouldnt go anywhere NEAR it with paper or a buff. off the gun is about as good as its gonna get. also, start saving to do the whole car now cos' 2 washes later (one if you use an automatic car wash) and that paint is gonna look aweful.

thought i would dig up an old thread: https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/diy-painting-your-car-rollers.76882


that way is 1000 times better than aerosol cans.

or if your English its a wing lol This is where wing mirrors got there name from, as they used to be mounted on the front wing back when everything was black and white

which i technically am, parents from england, brought up on british car shows.

Thanks for the input guys, got an air compressor, might borrow my father inlaws spray gun and do the whole car in one go, as you say stuffing around with spray cans isnt going to get me anywhere for the cash.

Might steel dads double garage later on in the year and prep the whole car and do it in one go that way i dont need to worry about panels not matching.

Thanks for the input guys.
