Re: Rattle Can?

My vote is get some rustoleum or krylon at walmart. Pick the white closest to what u want.

I'm seriously considering painting my entire truck with Krylon. My truck is a beater, not original paint, lots of chips, dents and some rust. I plan to clean up the rust, put some bondo where needed and spray it myself. I have a compressor, mask and cheapy HF gun already (the $9.99 one). I will be painting it on the side of my house under carport (plan to put up plastic, AC filter on one end, exhaust fan on the other and wet the cement). But I still think the Rattle Cans will be easier (no mixing, no cleaning or loading spray-gun) and cheaper (figure I can paint the whole truck with 10-15 cans, $40-60).

Be aware though that if you decide in the future to repaint with automotive paint out of a gun, you will probably have to remove all the cheap rattle can stuff completely (more work).

Anyway, I say just use what's available and will look decent for a driver.
