Seems to be decent paint,it sayes its Acrylic enamel automotive paint.Sprays on good and seems to lay flat........From what I have sprayed ,it seems to smell and spray just like regular auto paint.......is it ?

Hopefully you're talking under the hood or the frame rails or something....and not rattle canning the whole truck.....

The entire truck..................................................
Its already got a nice coat of laquer bomb,looks good too ,just never knew the reason they used to use 100 coats ,now I do It has very little coverage after 10 coats I can still see down to the primer Talked to a few guys and they said it will never cover,I have white specks all over the dark primer under the red.
The dupli bomb is real acrylic enamal car paint,I just cant fog out the neighborhood with a full blown paint job,I have the tools,just nowhere to do it at and there is no money to rent a booth.
Its bomb it or let it rust like a rat in primer ,which I just cant justify doing.Soo its acrylic enamel bomb untill future funds and time permit a real paint job.
I have shot almost every type of bomb now and this dupli is 10 times the bomb as the rest are ,its a good quality paint in a bomb.

I color/ wet sanded the laquer bomb and it looked real good,I am hoping that I can wet sand the acrylic enamel like the laquer did?

Can you not go to home depot and buy that big roll of clear sheeting that is pretty thick and make a thing comming off the roof over the garage and staple it up, put some fans going out and one in and buy those little filters and tape them over the fan to help filter it out some. Probably could build one with about 150 bucks and either buy or get a neighbor to lend you a fan or two. Might not be as easy as renting a spray booth but cheaper and the paint will last longer than the spray bomb would.

Also spray it at about 2:00 Am and no neighbors will ever know.

Do it right the first time and you don't have to worry about going back and painting it with spray bomb again.

I just want to cover it in a sealed paint for now ,with something compatable with normal paint. This will work just fine for my purposes,it will not look ratrod and wont rust ,untill the funds come for the correct paint job.
I will post some more pics,I have had a few people come over already and say they cant believe the results from the bomb,one guy was even a painter and stated that was regular car paint in a spray bomb.
It will be a ton more work than a "normal" paint job,but will cost less and be more user friendly for my situation.
