In that pic the paint looks pretty good! I'd like to see it taken with a higher resolution camera though. I've seen people do really nice paintjobs with Rustoleum, I don't know how they do it exactly.

I think thats the point cuzz it sure isn't shiny. There is a "rattle can paint job" thread in the apearance forum. There are some really nice ones there.

Yours looks like crap though. only six cans? how cheap are you. you could have at least sent 50 bux and done a couple coats, clearcoated, and wetsand to make look shiny.

Your 18 dollar paint job looks like an 18 dollar paint job....

Go look at the other forum though, because some(not all) of those rattle can jobs actually look really good.

we need some REALLY clear pictures to determine....and ones right along the car look down the side....

you cant even tell from the 1992 Samsung Camera that was the first one to ever have a USB port and is as big as a lunch box!

how could we all be so blind to this tactic?! it's obviously an anti-theft device, who would steal it?

this is such a dumb thing to do, it looks terrible, and its only going to keep looking worse as it gets weathered.

Awesome, man. Nothing like a good ole' rattle can job.
If you dig it more than is was before, more power to you.

Yes, black is harder to paint. If you can get good at doing
black and making the finished product look good, you
can do ANY color.
