Smile Re: spray cans

[QUOTE=CarlG;479776]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.


I checked the other day for mixed paint put into spray cans and it was $28 per can. I won't go that route for my 1955 Evinrude. I did find some that was close, but still not close enough for me.

BTW, Tempo used to have good cans of spray paint in spray cans, but I haven't seen that brand fro years. They must have gone out of business, or got bought up by someone.
