Is it possible to make rattlecan paint come out well on a test pannel? Its something that has been on my mind for some time now, with enough wetsanding and polishing its it possible to get spray paint close to show quality or will it just gum up the pads because it cant take the heat?



If I had buffing materials and a junk pannel I would test this myself but alas I do not have such things so for now it exists in theroy.

If it can be done, you would have the best luck with high gloss paint.

You can get epoxy paint, and believe it or not it is VERY durable (appliance paint is usually epoxy).



Even though it is not a two-part epoxy, it still is very hard when dry.



Just before you paint, submerge the can in very warm water.

It will help it flow better and the pressure kicks up a bit, too (old model painting trick).
