front fangs

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

Simota did a nice job with his using spray. It's the quality of the paint and the quality of the guy applying the paint that counts.

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.

Don't think it's rice at all because of appearance mods. I'd call it rice if he had those led tail lights on civics or a giant wing for no reason. Painting part of your car black isn't rice. Unless he painted the hood black with spray can.

Unless you can offer the man some help with his issue, such as tips to stop it from happening, then I'm sure you're just wasting his time and he would appreciate if you left his thread.

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

Rnmovr12 has it right. Just make sure not to get too thick with the coats of primer or paint.
