How many people have done spray paint jobs on their rigs? I am going to be doing my jeep as soon as I get all of the work done on my winter rebuild. I just got done painting one of my buddies jeeps over the weekend. Lets see some pics of rigs that have been spray painted. I will add some pics when the paint is dry.

I used implement paint on mine, I think it was rustoleum. It sprayed like crap, it has the old school pin point nozzle on it, not the new fan tips. Took about 7 cans I think

Its not the greatest, but for $30 I can't complain. I resprayed one of the fenders and it turned out like perfect, so I ended up sanding it down and reshooting it so it looked as bad as the rest. lol

alot of people misunderstand the painting process. I am by no means an expert but from what i have learned from trying to learn to do better quality painting myself was the fact that people think that no prep work is involved. so plain and simple.. PREP IS EVERYTHING. and can make or break your paint job. I plan on rattlecanning my blazer and i rattle canned some interior pieces in my truck after alot of sanding and prep work. still need to finish the rest of them once the weather gets nicer

2nd pic loosk photoshopped/fake but it is real

by far my fav paint is rattle can rustoleum in satin black
covers sooooo good on the first pass
has a fan tip nozzle that is directional so you can get a smooth even pass
AND the satin gives you the flat black look but not the dusty primer lookin flat black
more like stealth bomber/batmobile black

try it
you will want everything painted with it afterwards.

This is how my montero is painted now.
