Re: beginner painting
The only reason I would use anything rattle can on a vehicle is if I wanted to paint an area the size of a sheet of paper just to keep it from rusting. Other than that, if you are doing any kind of repainting, it is worth it to buy an inexpensive gun like a Devilbiss or an Eastwood. Unless you want the finish to peel off or fade in less than a year, do yourself a favor and buy decent products and do the prep right.
I've taught myself to paint over the years and it is a valuable life skill. My earliest lessons came from the Paintucation series by Kevin Tetz but in the past couple years I've spent a lot of time on the Southern Polyurethanes website and forum and my most recent paint job is my best yet. SPI offers top notch products with unmatched advice from the owner and the forum.
