[QUOTE="mark, post: 1473255, member: 16354"] I've had good luck with the Rustoleum "Hard Hat" cans. Sand to scuff and smooth, usually do a primer, spray the color while the primer is not fully dry seems to help best. Just like the paint can says, do a "fog" coat first to get the paint to stick and start the color, then I like to do a heavy, almost runny coat to get a "shine". Can last a few years before it starts to flake. Last truck I did I used Rustoleums "X2" paint. Supposted to have twice the coverage per can. Seems to be pretty high solids. I liked the results, but did very mininal prep work. Has held up OK but its only been a couple months, not years. Even with rattle cans, the better the prep work, the better the end result. Every time I do it I swear I'd never paint another truck with rattle can. To do a whole truck with a decent coverage its a fair amount of paint (and primer). But then I go and do it again. Its just hard to beat the convinance. [/QUOTE]
