Rattle can has the potential to look good. But it's not a spray and done process. My hood, front bumper, trunk, and tail panel have all been rattle canned. Tail panel I stopped at primer just to cover it up and been too busy and lazy to finish it. Waiting till I got a garage and then it's getting some major work done.
Yeah I also don’t have access to a garage or booth and have to raffle can outside. You can keep my post history for progress on some of the panels I’ve gotten done. It’s 99% prep work, and a fuck ton of sanding to get it to turn out. It’s not just the 30 seconds of spray painting people think.
Dodge color on a BMW brilliant stuff. Just keep driving guys doesn’t matter what the car looks like. They are all returning to earth and it’s up to us to keep them alive
Rust oleum plum?? I spray painted a vw bug the same color except matte! Matte really hides the imperfections if you sand first 😉 [check it out!](https://imgur.com/a/ni53QfV)
Experimenting with fiberglass, had issues with the spray foam haha figured I'd make the lip first to see how it goes and learn from it because it'll be knocked off at some point haha
If I had the ability to 3D print maybe haha. Next time I think I'll do foam sanded to the shape I want, bit smaller. Then use chicken wire as an overlay for a form then cover it in fiberglass so it has a good strong foundation and then the fiberglass exterior
Drift car. Mine is for derby driving. For hooning on the highway I have my E92 that looks stock as balls but stage 2+ with 11 blade turbos that I scooped from china...she's also a rescue from salvage...and yes rattle can gold wheels because I'm a classy gentleman.

It's a drift car and my grandfather's favorite color was purple. On the track I am an attention whore haha I don't drive it on the street anymore, strictly track after I painted it
This one is a lot better though 💀
Thank you haha but it was also done outside and looked similar to the other one before a LOT of buffing
Meh, mine wasn't done perfectly either, orange peel everywhere but who cares if you're actually gonna drive the car
Yeah, and besides, look how many new cars have orange peel
And a kirky... This guy... has back problems Or will soon
Army already did that for me haha
It's just a passage of life Edit: back pain/issues, not the army part
Yeah army just accelerated that haha
That is very respectable for spray painting. Gg
Thank you:)
That looks good. Is it a metallic? I'm not sure I can buff mine but what I can do is put metallic in clear and spray it after sanding and buffing.
It's just 2 coats of sunburst yellow and deep gloss purple from the hardware store, mainly rustoleum haha
Right over the door handles and the lock huh 🥲
Yeah, fuck them they still work....I also have no key for the car haha

Yeah, I spent a lot of time wet sanding between the coats haha
I’ve done more sanding the past year than I’ve done driving 🤣
Oofta man haha
I can appreciate the g-pa love.

You both Prince fans?
Nope, my late grandfather's favorite color was purple, painted for him
For me I just don't see many purple cars and I wanted to see a purple car every day.
I know this is the “yolo” approach but why purple? Like couldnt you get a lot less attention with a …. Ahhhh I seee
