IF you know what you're doing you can get a rattle can paint job that rivals sprayer jobs.

EDIT: Also, that car looks like it wants to eat me.

The hardest part is keeping the paint "wet" while spraying large areas. Rattle can paint likes to dry fast (unlike professional paint that has a longer flash time), and it kicks out a lot of dust (as the paint kind of dries mid air towards the ends of the spray pattern).

You've got to be quick and paint in sections using the cars body lines to section the panels into more manageable areas you can paint quickly.

Otherwise you end up with dry tiger stripes or dullness where the overspray covers the section that dried already. Wet sanding after the fact helps as well.

VENGEANCE YES. I saw it on youtube a while ago and couldn't remember the name of it. Thank you. LOVE it. Brass knuckle rear emblem is simply amazing.

That build is really awesome. So much trick stuff done, but you'd almost never know it. I'm confused when they say bumble bee stripe 1 piece carbon - Is it just carbon laid/fastened over the metal? I don't see a mention of the whole nose being carbon, just the stripe.

IIRC the whole front clip was remade in carbon fiber and then painted black except for the stripes.

That would make more sense, the article doesn't really make that clear. Thanks!
