Re: Spray paint texturing
Hi Fetch, you should easily be able to get spray gun quality paint jobs with rattle cans on smaller areas like air cleaners. It does take some preperation like doing bodywork. Sand first, clean, primer, sand again primer again then rub with scotchbrite, clean again then spray the color.
I hope no one minds but these pics are of the dash, guages and steering wheel of my '55 GMC, that I painted last February. all of the satin black is Krylon spray bombs, the ivory and bluish green are brush painted with sign painters enamel. The bluish green looks much "bluer" in the flash of the camera than it really is. I used Rustoleum high fill primer also in rattlecans.
pic1-What I started with.
pic2-Sanding the old paint someone spray bombed many years ago.
pic3-Ready to paint
pic4-Steering wheel painted satin black
pic5-Finished!
Hope this helps!---DAC
