sullivkj -> custom paint proj (3/10/2008 3:45:47 PM)

Hi guys
I have a black s-10, which i recently replaced most of the front end on. I used  black plastic grille shell w/o the chrome bar. I never painted it b/c it looked fine, but it is fading and i want to paint it now. I would rather not go through the trouble of using my spray gun, so does anyone have any tips on using aerosol can, and posibly the krylon fusion paint, i have not used it before and am not sure how it will come out. Thanks
P.S. ill post pics when i get done this weekend.

Speaking from experience, you only want to paint trim and stuff with rattle cans. It will turn out much better primered and sprayed with a gun.

Im planning on repainting most of the truck when it gets warm this summer, so this is mostly temporary, I am planning on using primer. The onle reason i am starting this is i need to patch some spots where the paint is chipping bad, so it wont rust any more before i get to it. I am also considering doint=g the mirrors, and door handles, we did them on my buddys black silverado anf=d they turned out awesome with a spray gun.

Did you ever do this?

I painted my mirrors, and door handles when i did my paint, but I used a gun of course! They paint very well, and you don't even have to sand them to get smooth surface.

Euroogold was right, and i will need to use a gun. I started with spray cans on some small pparts, and they turned oout horrible. I do plan on doing everything including the mirrors, handles, and even interior when the weather breakes, so i dont have to heat the garage the whole time. Yours does look awesome! Mine will be slightly milder, due to the fact that it is black, and i am going for the smoothed black look.
