What AMJ said...and make sure to clear coat it really well. If you get gas on spraypainted surfaces the gas will eat it.

jesus, i didnt know this was gonna be such an endeavor...

Anybody have a good link to a How-to page? I know nothing.

It's a bit of manual work, but it's not hard. If you use the basic painting and prep procedures, whether you use a gun or rattle can is actually of little concern (or consequence). In other words, with sound methodology, and time and care, you can get simply amazing, and surprisingly professional results...out of a rattle can.

I am a bass guitarist, and on a bass forum I frequent, people are always posting super-professional jobs they've done on guitars using a rattle can, using paint from here:

This site sells paint. What does this have to do with automotive paint?

Guitars are actually often finished in car paint, some very famous traditional vintage guitar colors actually being nothing more than a GM paint number.

I'll see if I can come up with some links on how-to's, but I wouldn't be doing much more than using google myself. I'm sure there's a million out there, some in video form on YouTube, if you don't even care to have to read it.

That fade shouldn't be too bad... Like 'tard said, practice first... Lay down the white paint, then run the black. Prep and practice... you can do it!!!

If you're comin' to the rally, just bring it with you and some money. I'll do it for you.

Wet sanding is your friend!! Any non major errors you make can be repaired with a lil bit of water and some fine grain sandpaper. Rinse repeat.

Remember the black and pink honda...all rattle can baby...also how I learned that failure to put on a good clear coat will let gas eat into the paint. Sand and redo.

Yea i wet sanded it down yesterday and put another coat on , then put em on last night after they dried a little. This morning they looked good. Here are some pics of it. and my crazy dog.

I think im just gonna get some decals and go that route, maybe throw some clear coat over the decals.

That looks pretty solid.

yea he's a cute dog, how did u like the paint job?

Picked up these to go somewhere on the lowers, im gonna get something cut for the rest. I've always liked the "stupid hurts" honda logo's, but i dont think i'll find them. i may just get it in white lettering. its always fit my riding persona.
