Rattle Can Green: Opinions

[oldblue1968chevy]

Im REALLY considering it.

I found a baby blue rustoleum that matches my truck really well, if you look closely, where the 67 68 trim went, there was the OEM med. blue, I washed the truck and rattle caned it, you can barely tell from 10 ft

If anything just the bed. Dont mess with your cab to front end stuff..even if the blue doesnt match right on.. we get it..Satin or primer baby blue will work..Trust I sprayed cars with cans they only last for so long but its on the cheap..We drive this stuff everyday ateast we are taking care of it even on the cheap right?


Also back to main topic..truck looks good just prep the rest how you feel best and finish..Good job

My truck is Olive Drab "rattle can". Most people think it's primer. It'll do until I can save up for paint.

were do you paint it to keep debris out of it? and how many coats did you put on?

Rattle can spray dries in minutes. Still, you could always head to a local car wash and use one of the empty bays, or under the bay where the vacuum canisters are.

For an even more interesting adventure, pull into a Sonic and paint it there!

wow i think i would be banned from sonic if i did that. I'm in houston so the car wash is too crowded. i used to paint guitars and if i did it outside it always ended up with dirt ir pieces of leafs in it. theres a parking lot near my house with a fence on one side and a building on the other. maybe there will block the wind.

got me thinking about this rattle can idea. my truck is three different colors. I wonder if you want to get a professional paint job later on would this make it more difficult to paint or more expensive.? looks like a flat or semi gloss would work best. Lowes has a large selection of spray paint. going to check it out tomorrow.

$3.50 a can?!??

I go down to Rodda industrial paint and have them mix me up a gallon of their finest, any color I want, flat or shiny, and they color match.
$22 for the paint and another $20 for the xylene
Forty two bucks and I have enough to spray at least two trucks.

Some rattle can spray dries in minutes. We have been using some Rustoleum Semi-Flat black at work that takes forever to dry. The Krylon 1613 Semi-Flat black is dry to a touch in minutes. But, it goes on much thinner than the Rustoleum.
