**Rattle Can paint jobs**

[thestreetzking]

alright guys anyone wanna give me some input?

I had my car rattle canned Rustoleum Metallic Cobalt Blue, when its wet it looks like the real paint obviously, anyways, I clear coated about 4 coats, wet sanded with 1500 grit, then used polishing compound and then nu finish polish. I have great results compared to how it looked, but my reflection isnt perfect, It has about 70% of the mirror quality that a real paint job has.

Any input? is this my final result? I see some of these pics and it looks like people have achieved what looks like real paint in pics.

Rustoleum & Krylon are typically enamel (which is the crap that Maaco uses). For best shine, get some acrylic lacquer. If applied right in many coats, it can even be buffed to a mirror shine. The best quality acrylic lacquer can be found in spray cans from places like paintscratch.com. I did find a few cans at Advanced, but the formula sucked. Paintscratch's spray was like show quality!
