Spray paint
Has anyone got any tips on spraying my bonnet with a rattle can?

Re: Spray paint
Best advice I'd give is don't do it tbh
The bonnet is too big for a rattle can job, it'll be so difficult to get an even coat and even if you do it'll probably be full of orange peel

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

I did a whole wing from a rattle can and that has orange peel. However a dads friend with plenty of experience sprayed my quarter panel after a knock (after I had beaten and filled it) and that was from a rattle can and isn't bad! Depends how much of the bonnet u need to soray

Re: Spray paint
To get rid of orange peel use 1000 grit wet and dry
Then 1500 use plenty of water as you do it then
Give it a polish
Bonnets are hard to do with rattle cans
But can be done

Re: Spray paint
Far too lazy to bother my arse doing it! I gave it a good polish with t cut and a polishing cloth it's virtually not there now.. I've gave up trying to make the car look smart it's best part of twenty years old and a daily for tools etc so I've just left it still mod a few little bits but have to accept its a losing battle trying to fix the paint work up without stripping it right back downcoupe77 wrote:To get rid of orange peel use 1000 grit wet and dry
