i am gonna paint my teg this summer, since im broke im do a rattle can paint job,im planning to go flat black can i wet sand to get a flat finish or is it more in the clear coat?
thanks

 

Well, if you use flat black paint, then the finish will be flat. If you put a flat clear on something, then it will also be flat....

Are you wanting to paint a gloss finish on your car and then wet sand to get a flat finish? That would be a terrible idea FYI.

 

i bought a gallon of paint for 100 bucks, gun for 30 at walmart, borrowed an air compressor, some rattle can spray primer and sandpaper. did my f100 for 150 and it looked tons better than rattle can job.

Save the money and at least half *** it right

 

i primed and then wet sanded, the used flat black rattle can. cost me less that $30 for everything.

 

...and that's going to look good for about 30 days.

 

The only thing about flat spray paint is that it stains very easily. Dust and mud, things like that tend to stick to it very badly and are very difficult to remove.

 

/\/\ Yes, it is very soft and absorbent. Trying to wash and scrub it creates permanent imperfections in the paint. Even a fingernail can do permanent damage to it.

I wish people wouldn't do this

stop ****in around with rattle cans

 

buy some john deere blitz black paint iys like 60 bux for a gallon of paint and reducer and it lays down smoothe and is durable

 

Well I painted it over a year ago and its only got minor wear do to daily abuse.

 

And he said he was BROKE, so I told him the CHEAP way I did it.

 

Have you tried to scrub the bugs from the front of it? That rattle can oil-based paint is just so soft when it dries (especially flat) that it would be amazing for a year old paint job exposed to the elements to still be in good shape. Do you remember what you used?

 

that is the finish im looking for, i really want it to last. could i clear it and still have the flat finish?

 

here is my $60 paint job. Satin Black
i think it lasts more and is less delicate to weather.
easy to wash and clean.

 

rustoleum flat black, & simple soap and water gets the bugs off.

 

ive only ever used gloss clear but i know there is a matte clear, i just dont know where you can buy it.
