Crazy idea about painting my truck
I've been shuffling around the idea of painting my truck using a bunch of rattlecans. I know, it sounds trashy, redneckish, stupid etc. but I really honestly think I could make it look good. I don't think I can afford to get it painted by a pro, because I already need some body work done to it (cabcorners, drivers side floor and pass. side lower fender cup) and that would add up quick, and I don't have the money for paint. After the bodywork is done I've come up with this master plan:
-Sand the whole truck down, especially in the rough spots, enough to get the paint to stick good.
-Get some Rustoleum sandable car primer and spray the whole truck.
-Get a LOT of Rustoleum gloss hunter green, paint the whole truck in coats.
-Get a bunch of clear-coat rattles cans, and give it a good clearcoat right at the end. Maybe 2 coats.
I told my dad this idea, and he just shook his head. I think I could do it and make it look decent. I want to hear honestly what you guys think of this idea. Thanks for your thoughts.
