Is the key to this painting similar to tips when using spray cans? Not a lot at once but nice uniform passes progressing downwards?

Think I could buy a gloss paint in a spray can and come close?

Edit: Guess you had already said I can do all 3 steps from a can. But not the stuff from say home depot...you mean stuff from an automotive place?

Yeah, you want to be as smooth as possible. If you spary too much, the paint/clear is gonna run, and the only way to get that out would be wetsanding.

Not entirely sure about the gloss paint. It MIGHT work if you use the high gloss paint, and then buff it. But again, not 100% sure on that. Maybe buy a small can at HD and give it a try. Who knows, it might be excatly what you are looking for.

As for the spraycans, I think I was wrong. I know you can get primer and paint in a can. But I think I ws talking out of my ass about the clear coat. The urathane clear coat (what I used) is a two part system that has to be mixed before application. Sorry for getting you all confused. Tell you what, PM me about the details and how soon you need this done. I'll see if I can help you out

Kryptic4L: Thanks. You are correct, it is a telecoping painters handle haha.


Pictures will be up in a few. You know I'm good for it...
