I was thinking about painting my car myself. I live in northern pa and encounter rocks, wildlife, and rough roads everyday. I was wondering if painting my car with spray paint is that bad of an idea. I really don't want to spend 500-1000$ on a paint job just to have it ruined in a month. Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God Bless!!

Anyone?

 

Are you thinking od using like "regular" spray paint.? If so dont. Go to Macco for a cheap job.( even cheaper if you sand it yourself )

 

Use the Search button over there and up and there are a couple of guys like "WAFFLES" that you can talk to that just did it themselves. As for me I was thinking about doing a flat black job. U just need a wide-nozzle cap so that you don't have spray lines.
EDIT: BTW...I live in Pa...word to your mother!!!...I live in York down south by Md.

Why even waste a dime then? Just like you said, the paint job will be ruined within a month. IMO its just not worth the effort and couple of bucks.

Technically Spray Paints won't last long anyways. They fade, chip, and aren't compatible with a new real paint job once you decided it needed one to sell. Goodluck on the choice you choose!!
