Default Spray Paint Can

Hey guys. I'm planning to paint some of the part of my car gloss black, but I want to save money and do it my self with a spray can instead of taking it to a dealer or garage to do it because they charge way too much.so what brand of Spray Paint Can are good?

No offense, but painting a car with a rattle can is the dumbest thing ever. Paint won't match and it will look horrible.

it can be done if you get spray paint for your color code. however it wouldn't look as good as if you got it done professionally. Will be a costly mistake if you mess up. Just get it done at a body shop and forget about it.

I'm curious what and why you're painting your new car with a spray paint can?

I would use plasti-dip if you are going to use a rattle can. At least you can peel if off if it turns out bad.

Ok, so what parts exactly are you looking at painting? Do you have an air compressor?
