Car Paint Help

Whats your budget? Do you have an air compressor? Only ask cause for what you would spend on 30 cans of Duplicolor at 5 bucks a pop, you might be able to get real automotive paint if you shop around. You can get premixed laquer from parts stores like Autozone for 25 a quart. You would probably need 4 quarts if you dont do under the hood, truck or door jambs. you could then scuff the paint that is on there now, and spray the laquer. One step, no mixing, no need to clear.

yes, my family owns a small ford dealership. it usually takes me about 8 cans of duplicolor for a car, which i can get at discount from my shop.

I think the car looks good the way it is.

haha i agree somewhat. the pictures dont show any of the flaws. theres a lot of paint thats gotten surface rust and stuff like that. i want to keep the same overall look just coverup the rust/weird areas.
