If I had to take a guess, I'd say about half the body kits in Virginia are spraypainted.

And I don't think I need to describe how they look. Multiply that by about 5 and you'll get the high quality paintjob that only a ricer's homeboy would love.

acctually if you are very good and very patiant and prep and finish it really well it can be a nice paint job. i would definatly not reccomend it. to do it well with rattle cans will still cost as much as maaco and be just as bad quality. i have done it before and i say dont try it. even though the fron of my car was spraypaited and nobody ever notices, im pretty skilled with the rattle-can though . you can even paint your car with a roller and make it look good if you know what your doing https://www.vadriven.com/forums/show...ght=roll+paint

I know someone that spray painted a car that looks 354059375 times better than half the cars that get called "clean" on this site. If you're good and have patience, it's possible. Would I do it, no.

hot tip to rattlers is many many light coats. its a pita but its good for if your only working with one small area at a time. Dont forget PREP is everything with any paint job.
