So yeah, my car needs all the body resprayed... I'm wondering if it's possible to paint the entire car section by section with spray cans? Reason I ask is coz I don't have the cash to do the entire car at once, but could do it panel by panel, but not sure how it would look... Anyone know if this would turn out ugly or would it look alright? cheers

i dunno.. i guess if you made sure you put a clear coat over the top afterwards. and REALLY took your time. THen gave it a proper buff  once dryed. might look alright... ? 0.o..

lol if you lived in QLD i'd let you use my Compressor and Spraygun. but oh well.

I did this on my old scorpion...........looked great.........just be sure you use "panel" cans, not the small ones, that way you won't see the overlap of colour on large panels.
