Agreed. I used to see spray can jobs and even some amateur HVLP gun jobs that came out like that. I'd always say "dude did you use finger paint? I could do better with a roller!!". I always said that as a joke because you would think a roller job would come out like crap right? Well during the past week I've been eating my own words. I'm halfway through roller-painting a hood so I can lose my rusty one. Even just after 600 grit sanding it looks 10x better than the above spray bomb or any other half-asses rattle can job for that matter. I can't wait to see how it looks after 4-6 more coats and some cut/buffing.

here we go.... 3 coats of each layer
primered flat black
painted semi gloss white
clear coated

didn't tape off the one tire because it has a massive hole in the side wall, so it was getting tossed anyways.







aaaand my old truck. it looked great and all when i bought it, but some douche bags keyed my truck (long story short, they targeted my truck specifically, came to my house, keyed it, and left. caught it all on camera). they wrote "fuck ecb" on it. ecb is a local gayng, so it was either a cover up, or they thought i was in the gang. idk. in the end, we decided to just do the whole truck, because it couldn't be paint matched due to the age of the truck.

heres pics when i first bought it after washing it, getting it running, and waxing the shit out of it.





so heres some pics of when we first started working on it.




a LOT of bondo when into fixing this, because it had a few dents, and some major rustage in the rock guard on one side, and bad bondo job on the driver side door previous to us buying it. drove it like this for awhile, because we lost time to work on it.

then we got back into it and finally finished it (minus the roof, sold it before then, so i could buy my 240.)

we also took off all of the gay trim it had on it.


this hood pic was before the hood was finished lol


and this is while it was wet... looked nice lol
