Rattle can spray job , or resticker it ?

Well I think iv made the most expesive mistake ever , when my engine packed in last month I decided to desticker me car , as I removed them I noticed loads of scratches , age related marks , which the stickers where hidding , got to the last side passanger and removed the big swooshes and in the process pulled all the paint off the doors and it looks really bad ,no amount of tcut or polish will remove them so

option one resticker the whole car -- around 100 pound all in ,Maybe cussco or ken block style stickers , don't want the rally stickers again

Option two -- rattle can the whole car matt black

Option three -- wish there was an option 3 lol as I canot afford a respray cheapest one I got quoted was around 400 for a basic blow over no door shuts or under bonnet etc

The cars green at the minute if I cud aford the respray it wud be White or the colour of the jolly green monsters car looks a bit like lime green

does anyone have any pics of home sprayjobs any colour just to have a look at please , as il be doing one of the above after the wedding in June cheers

you do have an option 3 - have the car wrapped

Full car wraps cost £1500.. Rattle can respray are you mad ???
If u can't afford the £400 blow over that will look pants anyway your better off getting some fresh stickers and covering it up..

I rattled my car befor like lol cum up okay mate ill post a pic when i upload one two mins

i like the look of that

Was a nice car befor it went to car heaven underside wasnt so good lol so tempted to paint the project the same lol

thinking of doing that but put my stickers back

I agree it don't look too bad in the pics.. Still wouldn't advise anyone to try it though LOL

Its satin black too mattes alot easier. If you not handy with painting i wouldnt advise it either ive been mucking on with odd jobs using cans for over 5 year maily painting my crossers and sports bikes in the past much better with a compressor i just gave it a quick paint to see what it looked like and it was ment to be a cheap fun car as paid 150 quid for it damaged. Ended up putting extra grand into it now onto spending a couple k doing the project pmsl scooby bug defo got me.

On subject paint was halfords satin black cost 11big cans £65 via a trade card days work sanding laquer off old paint day to spray it. If i was to do it again ide use a compressor as the roof and bonnet is too much to cover and have it perfect

downfalls with cans

pissy thin paint
not petrol resistant

petrol resistant laquer is available, but pointless spraying it satin black

Looks OK IMO

Not the best like but ya cant complain if you compare the price of a professional re-spray compared to a DIY spray can jobby!

Never had a problem with petrol onit i dont spill much anyway but if you wipe it off straight away its fine carnt realy fuk much up with matte its easy to put on lol

only wiped off once, sprayed loads of bikes, made the mistake of wiping off once, took the paint off with it, petrol laquered tanks after that

Was always ok in scoob but yeah i once never petrol laquerd my old gixer ended up with paint on me top n pants after spilling a little fuel on it lol
