rattle can paint help

[prpldude]

I was looking through the threads the other night and saw some instruction on how to do a good rattle can paint job.

I can't seem to find it now. If anyone can give me the link or post the instructions I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Marc

Here's one:

Usually the problem is fuel eating the paint, I've done a few that looked spectacular, but gas will ruin it if you spill.

A lot of work either spray can or real paint, the real paint will withstand leaks as good as factory paint.

My rattle can is flat black cause flat black looks sweet and if I scratch it I can just do a spritz

one thing i recommend is that you stick with the same brand for your primer/paint/clear....different brands may have a bad reaction.

I didn't quite follow my advice on the thank i am working on right now, but I used a clear designed to go on engines, it's supposed to be resistant to fuel.

Don't forget to get a high temp paint for the engine/exhaust.

Be sure to shake the can until you can't hear the ball inside anymore
