I love DIY paint job videos, whether it is folks using cans of Rustoleum, cheap supplies, a cheap HVLP gun and compressor, or rattle cans. So when I saw this rattle can paint job and actual good results, I thought it was worth sharing. Then I watched the video and this is probably one of the more realistic videos I’ve seen using this method, in that the folks doing the painting are totally honest about what sucked and what was good. And they did color sand and buff this thing when it was all painted and cleared, and I think the finished look was worth it. But would it have been better to paint using a real paint gun, paint, and a compressor?

Video Description:

Thank you for watching! We hope you like the video and consider subscribing! In this video we take our 1975 Pontiac Astre and give it a much needed cosmetic overhaul. The car was not in awful shape considering its a 49 year old car that sat in a field for the last 20 years. There were some dents we had to pull as well as surface rust in some areas. First we took everything off the car that we didn’t want painted, then started fixing all the rust, performed some dent pulling. and sanded down the entire car. After masking we were ready for paint! We used Rattle cans to paint this whole thing, from primer, to paint, to clear coat. It wasn’t a walk in the park as rattle cars don’t perform as well as spray guns. But we pushed through and got a really impressive end result! There is lots more in store for this car! We hope you enjoyed the video and consider subscribing!
