my first attempt at painting, changing from aqua to surf blue front fender & eyebrow. supplies ran about 35.00 b/c they wanted 245.00 @ body shop to paint the fender:cry_smile:

what kind of paint are you using?
enamel? urethane? rattle can? -
rattlecan by microinish, acrylic urethane from automotivetouchup.com mine is ford m4 surf blue, i put 4 coats on it from a 12oz can & there is still some left over for touch ups,also i just put 3 coats of clear on it & will wet sand with 1500 after i let the clear dry for 3 days. it should look good from 20 feet away. or at least better than the aqua it was.Last edited by kumalaba; 02-25-2012, 02:43 PM.Never Hire a Boy to do a Man's Job!!Comment
