I used rattle cans for the paint on my fiddy and besides the scratches and **** in the plastic it turned out amazing. It will look good but if theres scratches and **** in it you will want to bondo and sand to get everything smoothe, but yea go for it. Im sure it will look better than before(from what you wrote).

 

i got a guy up here that does all the aresol cans and was telling us whatever paint we bring he can make cans for us figured get some matching paint to the pruple bike and have touch up to bad my bike and scotts tank are one off colors thanks by the way to cfinch i love mydamn purple fiddy

 

use rustolium . . . **** works pretty well

 

i'm not gonna take credit for this cause i read it somewhere on here yesterday...i think it was on here.. but anyways, the trick is to put the rattle cans in a bucket of hot water for a few minutes to get them heated up...paint comes out much better. Also, prep, prep, prep, the better you prep, the better the final product. heat lamps & baking the paint on = good..hope this helps

 

all rattle cans.....

 

your **** looks sick havok yea i painted mine with a textured metallic charcoal color and it looks sick as ****... works pretty good too the tank is grippy for doing spreaders and ****... i like it so far i wanna clear coat it but not sure if it will make it look worse ill have pix up later ghini wish i would of seen your post earlier haha im sure that would of worked really well as far as distributing the paint while its warm...

 

as stated, prep is the key. mine is rattle can with two coats of clear. it will not win shows, but i still get compliments everyday. sand till smooth using filler as needed. final sanding i used 800 grit. then wipe down using rubbing alcohol and paper towels to get the oils off.

 

here's another. not too bad

 

havok how did you do that????? its amazing

 

Havoc is a mad man when it comes to painting. How you been man. I want to spray my bike before spring.

 

Yeah man it works good. I layed my bike down and after that decided to change the collor. My bike used to be yellow i sanded it down, used bondo fill in the scratches, used rattle can auto paint friggin painted the whole thing i did about 4 coats of clear and it looks great!
good luck

 

yea i need to clear coat the damn thing cause i used a textured paint it looks cool but it needs clear other wise it will rub off

 

you can make rattle can look good just remeber to keep it wet, it looks like **** when you put it on dry. also its a bitch to sand off when you want to get real paint, it clogs paper like a ************.

I like to use high heat engine paint with ceramic.. I can't remeber who makes it but autozone and checker have it like $5 a can. lays out nice and even and it holds up to the elements very well.

 

you can make almost anything look good as long as your prep is done well.
