Rattle can paint

Looking for brand recommendations in rattle can base coat and clear coat. Thanks.

 

What are you wanting to paint?

 

I used this stuff to paint my front bumper. I’d say it’s pretty damn close to powder coating

 

X2 on the rustoleum enamel. I use it on everything it looks great and lasts.

 

My hood and fender, spot here and there. I chickened out of Monsta lining it but have no interest in buying a paint gun etc. I’ve seen some pretty friggen good rattle can paint jobs. I need imperial jade micha, it’s available but was hoping someone has done the same and has a brand they had success with

 

I use this on everything but my fenders lol. Rust oleum rocks.

 

Another vote for Rustoleum HP Enamal. Dries quickly and is pretty darn durable.

 

Rustoleum is the rattle can of choice for this degenerate

 

FUCK krylon

 

I don’t imagine Imperial Jade Micha comes in those brands... Talking real basecoat paint in a rattle can. It’s out there... just unfamiliar with some of these brands

 

I used Dupli-Color Perfect Match on the pieces that fit in just below my 2004's headlights, not sure what they are called. Came out well IMO. 4 coats over the course of an hour, no clear, and still looking good after 3 years.

$14 Dupli-Color EBTY16027 Perfect Match Automotive Spray Paint – Toyota Lunar Mist Metallic, 1C8 – 8 oz. Aerosol Can

I used duplicolor on a Subaru. It was pretty damn close to matching the old paint. I'd imagine they would have Toyota as well.

 

I used a brush

 

@eon_blue used one of the color match ones and it was pretty damn close

 

Some of the local Napa places will mix automotive spray paint and put it in a can too

 

Really? No sh*t? So I could get Dupont or something?

 

Either too much brush pressure or too aggressive of a brush on that front center cap but otherwise a fine job

 

I found Duplicolor to be weak so I asked a local body shop to sell me a quart of the actual paint and they sent me to the distributor downtown where they get it. The shop was sort of like a Graybar, geared to sell business to business but happy to mix up a custom matched quart of PPG just like the body shop sprays for $60 including all 3 components. You can get a HVLP spray gun from harbor freight for $15, $10 on sale that is equivalent to the $60 Husky gun at home depot. The real paint dries to be much much tougher than Duplicolor which is really weak in comparison. If you get the HF HVLP sprayguns for $10 ea on sale, they are almost disposable.

 

I bought 3 HF HVLP guns to spray my 40' Sailboat with 2 part epoxy. Did a 1st class job with one gun and returned the other 2 guns unused for refund.

 

I hear ya but don’t want to deal with Mixing hardners and messing around w/ pressure. Gimme a can of spray paint, some buffing compound and wax. It’s been out of the show circuit for some time
