Money runs kinda tight around the end of the month so I bought the cheapest cans of paint WallyWorld had at .97 a can for ColorPlace spray paint.

The red wasn't a very good color but I was surprised at how shiny and deep the black finish was on a couple cars I painted last night:

I was really pleased with the finish on the GTX. Looks even shinier in person. After I get paid though I'm buying some quality paint. I want to do a fade job I've done in the past on projects.

Hey Jitte,
Those PaintersPlace and ColorPlace $1 Aerosols from WMart were the first paints I ever used.
They're great for removing from their cans and using in an AirBrush.

Try the Equipment Grey Primer mixed with Paint Thinner (2 to 1) for a terrific smooth and adhesive Primer.
