Tired of the crappy spotted up stuff so I've been spraying it.
Well at least it's close to one color.

I should probably do the same to my wagon for now because I can't seem to find time to do some real work on it.
SWEET!
Now with that practice, go to Harbour Fright and get the HVLP spray gun and paint the whole car yourself with single stage enamel

Yeah, I was also going to suggest buying a cheapo spray gun from Horrible Freight. From some of the reviews I've read, they seem to work fairly well. It would work out cheaper than buying a bunch of spray cans, and at least provide a more even job with a larger fan pattern.
It does look alot better being one color. But now if you go to put down real paint one day you will need to remove all the rattle can paint.
looks nice, keep it out of the sun or under a UV protective car cover, and you'll get your money's worth out of it. I've actually been thinking about using a HVLP Harbor Freight gun and that farm implement paint, and painting my car. does anyone have a picture of a car painted with implement paint? and do you know about how long it lasts?
less than 100 bucks, tractor supply matte black. this was the 1st car i painted, i also did a elky. my malibu sits out side in fl sun 330 days out of the year and has held up for 2 years now. paint is 29.99 a gallon and you can do 2 cars with that. buy the reducer and hardner, thats it. i think 75 for it all.
Tractor Supply- Farm Implement, semi-flat black, or better known as John Deere Blitz Black is a Valspar product. However, I noticed that Tractor Supply no longer carries that brand anymore. They now have a brand called Majic. I have not used this brand of paint yet, but was told that it supposed to be just as good.
I have used the Valspar semi-flat black, and it works well...easy to use.

Thanks,It's just temporary I do plan on buying a spraygun from tractor supply sanding it down with a da doing the bodywork right later on as time and money allows.It just looked so bad to me I had to do something. Some people can't see potential in things if it looks bad, but I can visualize potential in things even if they are ugly. Everone does things differently I dare to be different with this old Lesabre lots of great memories in this old car. :lol:
