what brand of spray paint did you use because the stuff i was looking at was rustoilum in the can that you can spray through a gun.

It was rustoleum in a rattle can... some auto quality stuff. I cant remember the exact name, but the can was mostly black with a rust colored triangle on it. It was "Semi-Flat" black.

I liked it better than like krylon semi flat cause the cans were high quality, as was the paint... and it sprayed out in a fan-like pattern vs. just circular.

yeah i plan on doing mine with a gun just so it sprays smoother.

If i were you i would just spray a black base coat then spray a flat clear. This ensures a quality paint job and will look alot better than just flat black sprayed on.

thats just my .02

its not totally flat black but it does the trick (little ruff too) out of a rattle can.





good luck

How about flat green.....single stage with a flattening agent.




The second pic is closer to the actual color, and the shinny spot is water. It just got a bath before the pic PM me if you have any Q's about the paint.

flat ?

Flat green looks good.

Thanks And to the OP, I would suggest looking into a single stage with a flattening agent, it takes some time to get your mixing ratios figured out, but you can make it exactly how you want it. It also saves you a step, and time, in the paint booth. Thats just my two cents, good luck
