Default Re: spraying rattle can bare steel paint

I try to limit my use of rattle can stuff, too, but I always turn it upside down for a day, then heat the paint and shake the living crap out of it to make sure it is thoroughly mixed. Those cans have stood right side up for quite a while before purchase, let alone before use. The part I'm painting MUST be perfectly clean and wiped with lacquer thinner or prep-sol, and the surrounding area must be free of any type of silicone. A waxed car nearby (even covered) can contaminate the area. Been using this procedure for years with good results. I've had good luck with Krylon products. Also, sometimes their color description might not always match my idea of the color I'm looking for, so you might have to experiment to find the exact color and texture you desire

I like evaporust,and rpm or restoguard wet.Almost every part goes in evaporust for awhile.Just had a pair of BB heads soaking for a few days. Some parts that are pitted you have to prime and paint with bare steel paint.
