Painted my car via inspiration from zepher

Well, since my camaro is comotoased with a dead motor and me getting my firebird ready for race season its kinda not getting anything done. So Zepher gave me the idea to spray painted so it doesnt look hideous from the street.

Before


After the 2:00 am paint job ...

So what kind of rattlecan did you use? Will it hold up with rain/snow/sun for more than a week? I thought about doing that to the top of my car just to make it look "not as bad" until I get it painted.

itll hold up for a very long time, just make sure you put it on right. when i first got my car in may, there was a surface rust spot on my decklid, i sanded it and but some rustoleum rusty metal primer on it to keep it from rusting, heres january and it looks just the same. its ugly (brown rattlecan on a metallic blue car) but the rust is at bay there until i get some realy paint on this car.

One can of rustoleum baby. 5.50 (or whatever the cost was) paint job I mean, the car is not going anywhere anytime soon ... so, whenever I walk outside to smoke a cigarette, i want it to look nice so i don't need a tetnus shot after seeing it.

two cars one income does suck. But hey .. thats life for ya .. and being im 20 I think im doing pretty well.

Maybe for fun ill post what the nose looked like when i got it ... ready .. .EWWWWW

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW again
