Problem with using rattle cans to do a whole car, is you'll end up using loads and its expensive. If you do just a few thin coats, and don't bother with the door shuts, under boonet etc then you could probably do it relatively cheaply, but then you have to wonder whats point in spraying it at all? Better off spending a bit more, and doing it propelry with a compressor and gun.
he only wanted a pic of 1 matt black. he said not fussed how it really looks. just sounds like he spent money on the engine if its only a track car just go 4 it mate. as long as when u drive it u happy thats all that matters.
Cheers mate the money has gone on engine and other things so paint is last thing on the listOriginally Posted by chambers1984

If your going to matt black it i would say rattle can it. I did my old nova a few years ago. There was a BMW knocking about that was matt black the paint work looked s*** and that was done professionally. Just take your time with it. Anyway heres a picture of my old one (its a bit dirty in the picture)

Well the choice and cost of gun is going to depend a bit on what rating compressor you have, they aren't that expensive though. You can get celulose paint off ebay for decent prices too. I did think of using rattle cans when I sprayed my Nova, but then I thought how many cans I'd previously used on just a door or tailgate - then multiply that by a whole car and it just wasn't worth the cost. To be fair it is easier to use cans rather than a compressor, I'm just saying don't assume its the cheap option.
nope, if i did there would be a shine to it so wouldn't really be matt black it would be more like a satin black
If done right on the right car looks good IMO
rattle cans vary in spray pressure as the can gets emptier,
compressor and gun every time and will be cheaper if you already have the compressor, not a fan of shat black when cheap 2k direct gloss is £15 litre and 2 litre will paint a nova easy
