A proper store can also hook you up with a primer that has an ahesion promoter if necessary as well as a flex agent - the latter being more important. You can just tell them what you are spraying and they will get you the rifpght stuff. Plus you can get the actual paint code instead of whatever generic black you have to choose from on the shelf. Best part is it's usually the same or less money to buy the better stuff. No excuse for crud. |

Remember these cans spray a nice even mist cost, and don't try to cover everything and finish it in one coat. Everybody has that tendency when they have sprayed before. You'll just make a mess, waste paint and most likely have to redo it. Either way you will have a MUCH easier time learning with a proper spray can instead of Home Depot junk. It might not be the worst idea in the world to buy a second color can and practice your stroke on some cardboard or something. The lip will be easy to do once you get the motion down. |

It's only a lot more costly if you are buying all the base, reducer, hardener, driers etc etc for a gun setup. Then you are buying so much it's going to be a lot no matter what you are painting. The spray cans they mix up for you on site to your paint code shouldn't be any more than the "better" spray cans at places like Home Depot. And there is no comparison
