What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

You're MUCH better off getting rattle cans from an automotive paint/body shop supply store. The paint is better and so are the nozzles. They have a wider more even spray pattern that will be especially helpful if you're just learning how. Hardware store stuff just shoots the paint out, its garbage.

A proper store can also hook you up with a primer that has an ahesion promoter if necessary as well as a flex agent - the latter being more important. You can just tell them what you are spraying and they will get you the rifpght stuff.

Plus you can get the actual paint code instead of whatever generic black you have to choose from on the shelf.

Best part is it's usually the same or less money to buy the better stuff. No excuse for crud.

Dang really, i was thinking that it would've been way more costly. I'll try getting magnetic black for the lip then. Idea on how many cans for one lip?

One can should do it for two light coats and one wet one. Then one can of clear if going base/clear. Otherwise you could get single stage like acrylic enamel and be done with it once you've sprayed the color coats.

Remember these cans spray a nice even mist cost, and don't try to cover everything and finish it in one coat. Everybody has that tendency when they have sprayed before. You'll just make a mess, waste paint and most likely have to redo it.

Either way you will have a MUCH easier time learning with a proper spray can instead of Home Depot junk. It might not be the worst idea in the world to buy a second color can and practice your stroke on some cardboard or something. The lip will be easy to do once you get the motion down.
