Re: rattle can spray job

Spraying bumpers and spraying panels are so different with cans. I recently sprayed my spare door with cans, and it took me ages to get right.

I have sprayed complete cars with a gun and compressor several times. It is so so MUCH easier with a gun, also you get much higher quality paint with a gun setup, vary thinner ratios, hardners, everything.

And as someone said, cans will end up costing you SO SO much more then hiring out or buying your own spraying kit, that it ain't worth it mate.

I have to agree.. We painted our beetle with Rustoleum paint using rollers (small radiator ones) and its come up brilliantly.. just have the bonnet and some polishing to do finish the job. Search on the Volkszone forum and you will find loads of info on doing it! The cinq should be easy enough to do too as it doesnt have too many small gaps / gutters like our beetle had!

Good luck!

Re: rattle can spray job

There was a bloke on Retro rides that painted his Volvo Brown with rustoleum and Paint pads/Rollers. He got a nice thick layer on and then cut the paint back and the finish was fantastic. I know a few people who have Sprayed their cars satin black on there driveway and have to say their paint has never "fallen off"......
