Default Re: to rattle can.....

i don't remember how many cans i used. i think i used about eight cans of primer and had some left over. i painted the black twice because i didn't was only going to put black around the bottom and i used flat so i could blend it easier and ended up doing two colors and using clear which makes the flat color a glossy finish. i didn't fix any of the body scratches or dings and it looks pretty good considering. when i paint it again i will either fix the dings or get a new one as i found one that is a year newer which i like as the fender flares that i have won't work on this body without some custom fab which would be more time consuming than i want to spend. if you have imperfections that you want to hide lighter colors won't show them as much. i put two coats of primer on and several coats of the colors sanding between each coat. i have three coats of clear wet sanding between each coat and wet sanding between the last color coats and before the clear.
