I would like to know how you got the fender wells to shine so good with a rattle can????





I'm getting close but do I need to clear coat and buff????

Lots of sanding and patients lol.. He also uses rustoleum high temp paint which sprays and lays better then some of the other high temp paints. No clear, key is in the prep.

Robert, Interested to see what you think of the rust oleum high heat paint. The dupli-color ceramic I posted you is harder than average spray can stuff, but doesn't lay down well.

BUT, regardless of paint choice , or even how perfect you prepped or sprayed it, colorsanding & buffing is necessary to achieve this level of light reflection from a paint job. You start mastering this skill & the results will be very satisfying.

Agreed.. wet sanding and buffing required.
Good little tip Ive been using for a while with rattle cans is soak the cans in hot water for a fiew minutes before you spray (boosts the internal can pressure and makes the paint flow easier and level better)

Go to a paint shop that supplies professional painters.
They can put GOOD PAINT of your choice into a rattle can for you.
