Okay so I am repainting my trunks in my LE. I had some paint put into cans when I bought the paint originally. Just so I would have it for touchup & whatever. I have gone through all 3 cans & am not finished. Painting with the rattle can has been a bit of a challenge. Now I need to get some more paint.
So should I just get a couple more in rattle cans? Or should I buy a paint gun at Harbor Freight? If I buy a gun do you have one you would recommend for a novice? Also if I go that route do I have to do anything different with the paint? When I get it in the can do I have to mix anything? |

Gotcha. Yeah I am probably over sanding some. I just seem to keep missing little area's that have a bump or something I missed. Then there seem to be a ton of the little air bubbles. Then seems like it looks good in primer. Then when I paint I see more stuff I missed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I mean it is only a trunk so I can only miss so much before I have it all done. Anyway I am determined to make it look great. No matter how many times I end up redoing it. My other probelm is the paint I had originally they don't carry anymore. Not so critical as it is in the trunk. I will do the trunks completely so if there is a difference it shouldn't stick out to much.
