Flat black rattle can?

[Burns]

Its not flat black but its from 99c cans from walmart. The cheap stuff. It is doable but i would go with the roll on method. It will be a thicker coat. The cheap stuff scratches easily.

Forget the spray bomb, get a gallon of rustoleum and the short white foam roller and roll it on.

I have done that with a car and also a trailer. Actually didnt come out all that bad. Pretty durable as well!

The first time I painted my trailer I used the 99c Walmart stuff and I went through almost 40 cans.

THIS IS MY BABY!!!! flat black all the way! no problems with mine and the paint isnt uneven or faded, i did get construction paint splatters on my fenders at one point, but you cant tell. Im Xadrian by the way, new to the forum =]

96 V8 awd FLAT BLACK.

the extent of the paint job is pretty thorough, there no evidence this thing ever used to be WHITE.

The 99c stuff didnt last more than a couple of months on my trailer. Started flaking off. The rustolem roll on has been on for a couple of years now and is holding up well

the walmart cans, however much they were, like 86 cent or something? forgot what i posted they were earlier, i sanded through all the clear down to the paint, and it's held up pretty well.

i'm definitely going to use black primer this next go around, i think then it'll look how it should

I was totally against using rattle cans till I decide to paint my faded door pillars. I painted them almost a year ago now and they are still glossy smooth even being out in this hot AZ weather. Know your going for the flat black but just putting my 2 cents in. The main key to it is just apply a thin coat at a time and just keep going back over it.

so i painted 90% of it lol i still h ave the roof and the lower passenger side but i think it looks good, im gunna do a quick wet sand in the summer and redo it, but still.

Not to shabby. Looks pretty even.

I know that this post is years late, but I did mine with a gallon of Rustoleum and a Wagner Power Painter in my driveway 3 years ago and it looks fresh still. Just do good prep work and it will turn out fine.
