WTF????
That is the worest spray job i have ever seen.

I would be embaresed to say the least to even show that on the web let alone put my name on it.

If I dida spray job like that i would kill my self.

I mean ok it was dont out of a can but still it is fucked.

If you have any problems with my comments feel free to email me

@ROSSCO I didn't se that at first .

@arron02 Why not black with red poka dots ? Oh hell live a little be different.
I guess its like any paint job its all in the prep and priming .

Aaron,
Given your (admitted) complete lack of knowlege about painting do you really think it's a good idea to learn on your PC?
The art and craft of a good paint job takes years to master and some fairly expensive equipment to boot.
OK results can be had using hardware store spray cans, but it is not easy.
Worse comes to worse, take it to Maaco or the like...they can do a lot better and faster job than you.
In a perfect world the ideal finish would be powdercoating.
Very tough and durable.
