It was a great day for rattle can spraying Saturday, so with the help of my girlfriend, we worked on the car all day to paint it up! She got blisters on her fingers from using the spray cans.
Here are pictures to speak for them selves!
My g/f Geraldine prepping the car!
Me taping it off.
Next 4 photos are the finished product!!
I will probably add another coat on the hood and top of the car.
I will add low profile red pin striping later.
From the pictures at the top of this page to this! All in all it came out pretty good for a rattle can spray job.Last edited by muleskinner; 06-16-2013, 02:16 PM.1993 Ford Festiva L blue 170,000 miles

Since the car used to be white I am going to paint the inside door jams and inside doors black also. When I'm all done I will have used 7 cans to paint the whole car.1993 Ford Festiva L blue 170,000 miles

Thanks everyone.
My g/f Geraldine is great with a spray can and she showed me some tricks on how to get the paint to lay just right.Last edited by muleskinner; 06-17-2013, 05:02 PM.1993 Ford Festiva L blue 170,000 miles
