Default Re: spray cans

1. I don't do enough large scale painting to justify the equipment and/or the space for "big" gun painting. For that, there are the "professionals" that can do a much better job that I can anyway.

2. I'm only painting a few small chasis parts as I take things apart and they need painting before putting them back together.

3. The drying time for Rustoleum or other rattle can paints isn't a problem since it's probably going to be several days (weeks) before it gets put back together anyway.

4. If I did use even the small touch up guns with bulk paint, I'd be spending more time cleaning up the equipment than I would painting with it.

5. Even for special mix colors, I can have the paint put in rattle cans for touch-up quite easily and not so expensive, considering all the above.
