Has anyone had any real good results with rattle canning their car and or parts of the car?? Im doing my JDM Zenki sides right now and it looks like its gonna turn out really good. I'll post some pics when Im done. MY MATERIALS!!

NOW THE PRODUCT, MIND U THESE WERE STOCK PEARL WHITE.

No.

Rattlecan for large areas is a bad idea. It will fade, crack, chip, peel much faster than a real paintjob. Better off to just wait and get it done correctly.

This is the only one that came out good

kevtrinh · 03-13-2008, 07:38 PM

uhh not really...sorry

ByeByeSti · 03-13-2008, 08:01 PM

rattle can ftl... just spend the little money it costs for real paint and clear and just spray it, you have better luck spraying for your first time

I was thinking about using water colors for my car.

SW20Racer · 03-13-2008, 08:30 PM

i rattlecanned the sw20 shortly after i got it. flat white and a flat clear to seal it and it lasted over a year without flaking, chipping, fading, or peeling.

i took my time and and it sure as hell looked better than a maaco job. i liked it so much that when i did have enough for a real paintjob i spent it on wheels&tires...

the problem usually is that someone either
a: ruins a perfectly fine paintjob or
b: does it in their front yard

jackjack · 03-13-2008, 08:38 PM

i rattle canned my s13 beater. i think its fine for either a beater, work, or track car. basically... who gives a damn about the outside type deal. anything else. NO.

for sure. i wasnt going for style points, but it was still sexy (it probably helped that the only real flat pieces on the car were the doors and hood)

MikeisNissan · 03-13-2008, 08:58 PM

I did it. Just for the fun of it. I know it sucks, will be repainting real paint and upgrading soon.

coreansurfer · 03-13-2008, 09:01 PM

rattle can is fail. if you want a a cheap paint job, take a class at a local community college

HyperTek · 03-13-2008, 09:04 PM

if anything.. get some cheap paint guns and do satin black

sillyvia13 · 03-13-2008, 09:10 PM

dude...
$88 cents per can.
WALMART.
buy a fucking case...

just prep car like real paint...sand it to allow paint to bond...tape off clean off debris and shit...
and SPRAY BOMB! DA BISH!
I have done a ton of spary bombs over spary bombs kids have done...I like my bombs better...I get everything unlike 15 yr old tony pre drivers lic.

I had a camo car I had to flat blACK IT...WAS KILLING ME TO DRIVE IT AROUND...

kahlistrophic · 03-13-2008, 09:12 PM

this was completely rattle canned..used to be white... had tiny chips here and there...no clear and no primer

shade · 03-13-2008, 09:35 PM

^Not bad, from afar. Looks pretty good from what I see.

Rattle paint --> beater car.

MikeisNissan · 03-13-2008, 11:01 PM

hrdprkin180 · 03-13-2008, 11:08 PM

thanks, it took like an hour in a half for both.

blitzkrgCT9A · 03-13-2008, 11:15 PM

OEM paint on left, Dupli Clor rattle cans on right

Dupli Color ratle can, with Dupli Color clear

This is the roof with Dupli Color paint and clear after wet sanding and waxing.

OEM paint on fender, the hood was rattle canned with Dupli Color.

Before you guys start flaming, I would not suggest any of you guys to rattle can your car. Although what I did turned out to be almost exactly as the OEM in look (shininess and color), but the quality was lacking. Bird shit will kill your rattle can job, and leave a permanent imprint of the shit pile even if you wipe it off the moment it touches the paint. If you have the patient and time, you can make it looks damn good but it wont last.

ayuaddict · 03-14-2008, 02:26 AM

then you can just sand a little and paint right over it.

yay.

Dirty Habit · 03-14-2008, 03:30 AM

My car was a beautiful champagne color before the guy who owned it before me rattle canned it black.

Guy didn't realize that just the clear coat was flaking, not the paint...

rattle cans for the poor.

Antihero983 · 03-14-2008, 06:11 AM

hehe i happen to like my rattle can job....seeing as my plates say MADMAX, i don't exactly see the need for a good paintjob right now

my datsun on the other hand, she'll be getting a proper paintjob at some point some day.
