Not a Moggy but my cousin did this with black rattle cans

I guess cure it and clear coat it, it'll be semi respectable, but obviously won't live up to modern standards. Each to their own, I guess!

Hi,
Before spraying with one I always put them in a small tub (21/2 litre / 4 pint milk container cut in half) of kettle boiled water (it's hotter than water from the hot tap) first and let them heat up. I find it produces a finer mist of spray (especially if it's a 'Danvern' nozzle on the can) and therefore a better paint finish, plus has the added benefit that it seems to last longer.
I have been doing this for a while now to good effect. I have yet to tackle a large panel with spray cans though, let us know how you get on.
Best wishes,
Mike.

My local motor factors (galleywood motor spares chelmsford) 6sells the professional ones, they give a better finish and coverage than the regular ones. One was adequote to paint a wing on our MX5..

I believe most automotive paint suppliers do them.

you can get good results and bad results but you won't get perfect results,depend on your requirements . Very easy to get runs and sags,the best way is to give it multiple fine coats and then cut back with polish to get a shine,if you lay it on so that it looks like it will shine when dry ......it WILL run.It also take a lot longer to harden /dry in between coats than celly or 2 pack.
You may be better off getting a match with coach paint and put it on with a roller .2 pack can also be rolled its only dangerous when sprayed,( no paint mist to breath in ) good luck
