Couldn't tell ya, I have never painted anything that has ever required me to wetsand with a spraycan. Rims, and misc. parts always come out looking good. I always use a gun when spraying a car.

plz dont rattle can your car, i did it and i regret it!!!!

its a PITA to get off and unless your 100% sure your not going to repaint it


then no you dont have to sand every coat unless you have massive orange peel


do like 3 coats sand then 2-3 more coats then wet sand to make it shinny

unless your going flat then jsut do liek 4-5 coats and your done

Usually when things are rushed, they come out looking like ****. Can't believe your gf would even drive it with a rattle can job. Better off preping the car and taking it to Macco.
