I was kicking around the idea of doing an American flag paint job on my 2 door Explorer. The maroon paint on it now is pretty faded and scratched up.
I wonder if anybody else knows if it can be done cheaply. I'm talking rattle can paint or something like that. I don't have any painting equipment or access to it. So I'm thinking that with some proper preparation to the paint now and some proper post painting care I can end up with something that doesn't look like crap.
Oh...plus I've never painted a vehicle either. But of course I've used rattle can paints before. I do have a garage and the ability to seal it off for a clean environment.
My truck isn't my daily driver. It's basically a trail rig that also pulls truck duty from time to time. So I'm not looking to enter any shows or anything, just to make it look neat. You know.
By cheap I mean a 100 bucks or something. So obviously any work that will be done I will do. I don't even want to spend 4 or 5 hundred on a cheap Macoo paint job.
Any thoughts or ideas on this?
