today marks the day i start painting pigy from his normal primer grey to a gloss white and matte burgundy. im doing it with rattle cans of rustoleum so its going to be fun to bad its really muggy and hot out here in nc

Good luck. If you want it to look good you can wet sand it when you're done with 1500 grit and then clear coat. That's the only way I've been able to get a good looking paint job out of rattle cans on large surfaces.

im not really caring it if looks great but by the way its turning out its looking awesome on my truck

If you don't do some thing to seal the paint, the first time and every time you wash it the paint will run off with the water.

well heres what it looks like so far i got more done but not enough light to see what i did. after this photo i taped out my strip for my burgundy and got the white painted down to where i wanted it to make it about the same size strip as what came stock

just a tip. paint your tires black like the type of grill (bbq) black. they wont look shinny but they will look new. idk if reg black paint will work but we used it on big trucks after painting them
