Using spray paint on your car = epic facepalm. Doing cheap appearance mods = rice (for asian cars), redneck/hick-mod for american cars (or trucks)

I also would not call painting the fang area "rice". It's a subjective appearance mod, big deal, not like he put blue running lights on it or a fart can.

On topic: I would start by sanding it all down again. Any decently adhered paint will stay and the bad stuff should sand right off. Then after ensuring you have a good surface wipe it down with some mineral spirits to make sure the surface is clean and try again. |

i spray painted my jeep OD. i guess that makes me pretty redneck
id suggest sanding it down with some 80 grit then smooth with 200/400. from there hit it with some primer then the flat/matte black. ive ran mine through thick tree branches without it chipping or scratching off
