Default arg..damn spray paint.

so i got a case of spray paint for the car..got 4 flat black for the inside and 2 gloss for the engine bay.figured that would be enough for the car..well i used almost all my can of flat black on the inside before i stopped so i had like a 1/8th of a can left.


well i got a cowl hood over the weekend and it looked like ass whiteso i figured shit i will just paint it flat black so it dont look as bad..well i prop it up and start painting and its pretty much dark out when i start..well i go threw that can and now its dark..i say well fuck it..i will just finsh..its flat black paint what does it matter plus its going over white so i can see where its going.

i run inside and get another can of flat black,,well i finsh and let it sit and just toss it on the car..i come out today and my hood is flat black where i started and gloss black the rest..and no i didn't grab the wrong can..seems some one in the store thought it would be funny to switch caps around..so i now have 5 cans of gloss black..damn b.s



guess i will just keep the interior shit and paint it black now seeing i have so much

Humidity does that to flat black. I know it's rough these days but next time try painting on a really hot day and sand in between coats with a red or white Scotchbrite pad.

Trust me, I know all about flat paint...lol!
