Hi all!!

I have no paint spraying equipment. With just primer, a spray can, laquer and the tutorial on here - is it possible to do a good colour code on the plastics? I have a feeling it will look shit just using spray paint straight from the can.

Cheers,
Andy

preparation is the key, if its not sanded sufficiently and the primer isnt smooth, the finish isnt gonnabe too good either

I sprayed my arches and bumpers with rattle cans and they've been fine for almost a year now,like everyone else says just take your time and prep well and it should come out fine!
