I will try Steve's method, and spray paint the hell out of it tomorrow with a thick coat. If that don't work, then I can always resort to shooting myself. :P --- End quote --- Of course it's stuck there now. I doubt it will stick there for very long with incorrect surface prep. Do you really want to paint it again in 6 months? I thought not. And as for steve_pss' advice, I'm sorry dude but wtf? |

Use a roller and rustoleum FLAT black enamel paint from lowe's. If you decide you must use spray paint, the make sure it's flat black and not gloss; the reflective surface of glossy paint makes each and every imperfection really stand out. Using a roller will really save you a lot of time though, I wasn't a believer until I tried it myself. |

If you're getting shiny spots here and there then it sounds to me like you're holding the spraycan too close to the surface. I found that the spray paints that use that blue female spray nozzle have a MUCH wider spray pattern and produces a nice even coat unlike the regular red or black male nozzles used on Rust Oleum,Krylon and others. Go to a Pep boys or Strauss Discount Auto and check out the Plasticoat and Duplicolor brands. I'm pretty sure one of them uses the better blue female nozzle. Just start pulling the caps off and check what type nozzles different brands use. I Know that Utilac brand spray paint uses the good nozzle but that brand is sometimes hard to find. Good luck :) |

Just realized that Utilac brand spray paint is made by Benjamin Moore. No wonder it such nice spray paint to work with. Any Benjamin Moore paint store will have it. I don't know if anybody here gives a poo but just thought I'd pass along the info. ;D S.M. |
