i thought about painting my ej8 with this method.. just recently replaced my bumper and sprayed it with rattle can black enamel.. it's hard to even notice it compared to the stock paint job, even though it's granada black O0

that avitar is ------ classic

use Interlux Brightside paint.. it holds up very well, has self leveling properties, and has a great shine that lasts
you can get it at any Yacht store or boating store.. even hardware stores with a fishing or marine area would have it

DO NOT use scentless mineral spirits... use regular old mineral spirits. and so you dont look stupid when you ask for it, its basicly the same thing as paint thinner but a bit weaker

get like 3 quarts it should be more than enough because you thin it quite a bit

here's the best 50$ paint job i have ever seen.......
http://www.rickwrench.com/50dollarpaint.html

however, i have a real hard time believeing it came out that nice, without more being included. there is definitely some not cheap polish compound on there. its too bad the pics arent really all that close up to see how good or bad it really looks, but if most of it is true you can have it turn out fairly decent

aussie (guy from mopar and HT) used mothers wax, with marine paint... and it turned out better then some pro jobs ive seen.
