I think you've done a pretty good job, certainly the effort cannot be faulted. I only did one rear quarter panel after some rust repairs and that came out well but the hardest thing to do with a rattle can is to get good clear coat. Did you use 2k clear in a rattle can?

A tip I found for spraying with cans is to use two at the same time, at right angles to each other. This gets more paint onto the surface in one pass for a "better" finish. This also works with clear coat.

Maybe buy a cheap HVLP system for next try? Would have cost less in paint I think? |

Just had to google that to find out what CTC was referring too. Yes I see your point - perhaps next time.

Yes many many times. We have had a site spraying buisness in the family for many many years. We have sprayed hundreds of shop fronts, garages, window frames, steel staircases etc etc etc. All using HVLP systems.
