Not being funny, but I actually painted the EG coupe I used to have with 5 cans-that's only one coat though. haha

makes sense to me...trying to paint it red...any specific kind I should get? i hear rustoleom is good from google. lol can't expect miracles with rattlecan, but I figure If i'm going to do it that way I'll do it as well as I can.

Your going to spend like $100 on cans and I think macco does a paint job for like $300. Ive rattled a lot of stuff but a whole car is hard to make look decent if you dont have a lot of patience.

^Incorrect. I bought 5 cans, remember??? I spent less than $6 on this paint job. I also painted an s10 rattlecan black once and went all out with charcoal grill paint and wound up spending a whopping $10 for that paint job.

Stay out of the wind, if possible, and you'll be fine. Use newspaper or something like the trading post to tape off you windows and mirrors and stuff. Take out your head/taillights and it'll look better. No one knew that I had rattlecanned my car until I told them. Just take your time and don't "tiger-stripe" it.

i used 10 cars and did two coats. Make sure you wet sand inbetween coats. and do a 1500 grit wet sand at the end.
