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.

The cheap stuff (yellow label, black paint) from AutoZone wipes off with a terry cloth towel.

Indeed,,,if your a 'bomb' user,fan spray is the only way! Before I went to gun and compressor I could use them in the dark and look great,seriously.BUT,,,,spray some metal(bare) with this system and leave it out in the elements,on the ground,for a few years to see if it's worth the effort.Has anyone else done this? Here where I live we go from below zero with snow/ice to all day sun and around 100 deg. in the summer.
Does any of the paint companies do a 'takes a licking and keeps on shining'test?

Yes the Name brand paint products do Research and Development on their paints . Salt Bath tests , UV tests , ect ...............

just bought some of that stuff cuz i had to seal some areas and needed some black quick. worked pretty good for me. layed out real well.

Hopefully none of the enviros read this ,but dupli color has the paint system they have been showing on all the rod shows on tv.
Its 100 percent laquer system on the shelves in cali,laquer primer /laquer base , and laquer clear coat.

Do it with the spray cans, it will protect the body and if you take some time spraying this stuff it will look better than some wanttobes paint work with proper equipment. I think thier cans have a spray pattern, which will make the application easier. Just remember try to get a 50% overlap and keep a consistant distance from the surface. Can't wait to see the pics.
