Sure you can do it, if you've already invested in the spray equipment, such as a compessor and touchup gun. Black will show any imperfections, so your prep work must be perfect. Other than that, it's all sanding and buffing. (In a nutshell )

yes you can use spray paint. But not any spray paint.

Go order VHT gloss black caliper paint from Summit. It's self priming so that eliminates some of your future worries. The stuff is durable as hell by the way.

You can get the VHT caliper paint through Summit. OR go to pep boys and they sell something just like it. Actually, it's exactly like it, I've used it. It's in the "rice boy" section at pep boys.

 

do u just paint over ur regular paint wiht it or do u gotta prep etc.?
