The older I get the deeper my appreciation for imperfections and decrepit but functional things becomes. Guess that could have something to do with getting older! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob R 951 #28 Posted November 1, 2018 I use Rustoleum Sunrise Red Brush and Spray (Rattle Can). I Brush on the initial coat let it dry for a few minutes and then apply a light soray of the same color on top to hide the brush marks and complete the finish. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,274 #29 Posted November 1, 2018 I rattle canned every horse I've done and no problems. Prepping and a good dry time and you will end up with a good paint job. Here's some photos to show some of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,164 #30 Posted November 1, 2018 another tip with rattle can is use the same brand primer and paint, I have seen lifting with cheap primers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firebug 267 #31 Posted December 1, 2018 I have done a few rattle can jobs. I used the majic brand ih red. 3 light coats, wet sanded with 1500 grit between each coat. Then a coat of rusteum clear wet sanded with 1500, then a coat of clear wet sanded with 2000 grit. Buffed to a shine. It was pretty time consuming but the results were better than I expected 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
