[winner]

erm, i'd buy some new stuff, i dont like useing pait that has been sitting around for awhile

[ardw1217]

well i have never used it and its only like a month old but would it work?

[winner]

yea, that should be fine, i mostly ment the stuff that 1-2 years old, just make sure you prep the car well before painting it and be sure its clean.

[ardw1217]

What do you meen clean?

[winner]

dry, free of dust and other particals, and grease that come off of your fingers

[ardw1217]

so i cant just paint over the silver?

[winner]

you can but you will be more the likely get fish eyes and runs easier

[mr.hotrod]

Uh pal you need to look at your spelling. I can't hardly understand your posts. You would get WAY more help... But winner is right, you need your car clean, A clean workspace, And new paint, acctualy it wouldn't hurt to rough up your cars surface with 1000 grit sandpaper.

I searched for a minute and came up with this. Try harder when searching.

Same idea, just instead of a spray can.

[ardw1217]

well it was my com mest up. but i looked it up aguin and it worked.

yeah i know i have a spelling problem lol

[dontspamme]

Why not check your spelling and grammar over before you post ?

Not to mention brush up on the rules, double posting is a no-no.

i painted a car once and used a white for the body. when i tried to put clear on it, it was a different brand and it almost looked "flaked" it kinda just shriveled up the white and ruined it. i would at least, if i were you, if you use more than one color or plan to clear it, use the same brands!

[ardw1217]

i dont have spell check

[XMDrifter]

if you don't have spell check, you don't have a brain. on forums, there is no spellcheck feature. your brain is your spellcheck. just read what you wrote and correct the spelling errors so that they don't show up when you post.

i'd stay away from that 99c color place stuff...i used it once, and it totally ruined my first paintjob. why? because even though i kept in the same brand, the paint under the layer i was putting down shriveled up as soon as the solevents hit it. it's a cheap paint for a reason. krylon would be better, and if you can go to a hobby shop and get testors spray cans, that's better. tamiya is even better. it does get a little pricey up high, but you're more likely to get a good, smooth finish with better paint.

[ardw1217]

o ok thanks for your help. And can i use any krylon spray paint? And my first post on this thread i had to do it fast becuase my mom was yelling at me and thats y alot of the words where spelled bad.
