Quality Matte VS Spray Can - With Extras

Quick97Prelude · #1 (**permalink**) 09-18-2007, 12:48 AM

Sup d00ds?

I spray canned my fenders yesterday to compare the difference with my hood which was painted with actual car paint (with no clear)

Here is a comparo

CAR PAINT ON HOOD. RATTLE CAN ON FENDER!

Heres some extra pics to enjoy :p

I got excited and celebrated a bit :D

What flat color did you use on the hood? Was it the dupont hotrod flat black?
Oh and the hood looks a lot smoother and darker.

The black i used for the hood was just some random black basecoat i found laying around in my brother's shop.. im going there tomorrow so i'll let you know what it's called..

You can tell a huuugee difference in color and quality in person.. the hood feels and looks soooo smooth compared to the fenders..

If anyone ever considers going a flat black i would definately recommend you spend the extra money and get an affordable gun from home depot or a hardware store and get some black base paint instead using the rattle can stuff

I know

i'm just tryin to get some funds together to buy a couple of quarts and the clear to go with it.. what i have right now is just temporary to get a feel of how it's going to be and to have a comparison on the internet for people to see the difference between cheap spray can VS cheap black base coat

Oh no lol i didnt get the wrong idea man.. dont worry about it.. i know you're not trying to jack my thread

I've learned when someone tries to jack a thread on PZ usually they talk about what they had for breakfast or start role playing something from an old movie

NIce, I was thinking of rattle canning my MRDuece but I think I'll go alittle farther and use a gun.
