I used some rattle can primer in a few spots that i fixed a dent, but you dont need to primer the full car. I used a old as paint gun that my dad uses for spraying primer.

Hit up Carl, Jung4g.

He did the rustoleom special on his track car. I am pretty sure he thinned it down when he did it.

He even did a hot two-tone job. Flat black and forest green.

Ok so heres the deal, I painted my wheels black, shiny black to be exact, they are clear coated. But I want to paint my car in a few years to a flat color, but I dont want to have a flat black car with shiny black wheels, anyone know of a flat gray/silver color. A picture would be nice, Im not talking a primer car, alittle lighter. >:D
