Guilty Pleasure...Spray Paint

[Nexussian]

I can't stand Rustoleum spray paint, takes way to long to dry, I prefer Krylon or Dupli-color.
Some times spray paint is the best answer to a problem for sure.

Straight Rustoleum, yes, recoat time is most of a day.

Rustoleum Pro, can be handled in 15-25 minutes, depending on temperature, and I get better results with it than regular Rustoleum, any Krylon I've used; duplicolpr, it depends on which product.

Most NAPA auto parts stores around here will fill a spray can with you color. Just give them the numbers.

man, i aint goofing on ya, but maybe yer an old guy like me
yes, i know "jobber" is a term used in the/our industry, but i dont recall anyone saying it in at least 20 years

to the orig piont. spray paint has its time & place. small parts. brackets & braces, and odds & ends.
sometimes tools and/or tool boxes.

yes ive used a rattle can for more "showey" stuff and it's turned out great.
it can be done, but prep is most important, than temp, and conditions like indoor or outdoors(controlled inviroment)

LOL...Ouch. I'm 35...it's the only term I've ever known. Maybe it's the company I keep...or forum lingo...or both.

I like playing around with Plastidip products. Its easy to apply, removeable, or it can be touched up.

I actually used Rustoleums version of the same product this weekend. Flexidip. It sprayed much lighter with more even coats than the plastidip. I had to do several more coats than I would have with plastidip but the final product came out nicely.

The hood on this sled used to be orange. This is kind of a test to see how well it holds up:

check out www.dipyourcar.com This guy decided to plastidip his whole car with rattle cans. about 5 years later, he has now created his own line of cans and quarts that are used all over the place. Pearls, metalizers, clears, flake...its a crazy world out there.
