it won't match or look good or last very long, you can be sure of that. from a spray can = garbage.

people expect paint work to be cheap just because they see paint in cans on the shelf at an auto parts store and they figure they can spend $15 and still make it look good. The simple fact is that quality paint work takes time and a certain skill set. if you don't have either, pay someone a reasonable amount of money to practice their trade and do it right. OR... drive around with spray painted exterior parts and look like an idiot. lol


sorry, not an attack on anyone in particular, just a small rant. doing this stuff for a living and seeing certain posts just makes me do this haha.
