anyone do a lot of painting with spray paint? (but actually a good job)

i usually use the stuff from ace cause it's the cheapest. but is there a difference in quality of paint between spray paints? if so what are the better ones and where do u get them from?

Space Age is a high end paint store in Mesa. You can order any of the shit they sell online. Mostly automotive paints from House of Kolor.

The best spray paints have a "blue" fan tip, not a conical "red" tip. Duplicolor and some Krylons have fan tips. The paint lays down FAR better with the fan tip, and you have much more control in terms of coat build.

Rustoleum and other brands are complete shit because of there cheap tips.

i would go to Sherwin also, i had them color match the purple of my hatch to do the valve cover and charge piping and it came out perfect, and it does orange peel or run if you do it correctly, it looks like powdercoat to be honest

I don't think it matter what brand you use as long as you paint stead and even with no overspray. The key is in the clear coat or protective coat to keep it from peeling, cracking or fading.

I will say this, I went to Sherwin Williams this afternoon to pick up some paint for a bumper I'm painting and it has got to be without a doubt the best finish straight from a can I have ever gotten. I do recommed giving a good 10-12 inches of distanced fromt the can to the part though as the tip flows VERY well.

Now I just need to drive out to east bumble-fuck to pick up some of my favorite "$35 two-part clear-coat-in-a-spray-can" and I'll be all set!!

I bought my tafetta paint from paint scratch at $27 a can. It matches perfectly. I even did a write-up for painting sideskirts and grill.
