Bowtie,

My paint job done with spray application only implement paint.... I will be the first to admit, this paint job is a 5 foot wonder. It looks great from 5 feet! Since I have never sprayed paint before, I can accept the results.
As posted above, I would love to spend more money on paint, but many things would suffer...probably my marriage for starters..
I have about $80 invested in paint and primer...yes, the pros would say "I can tell". But I am building a driver that I can use, drive, leave out in the rain, haul dirt, and leave at the mall in that parking spot right up by the front door without fear.
The paint I used is made by Valspar. My local Fleet Farm sells it, also the TSC or Tractor Supply sells it too. My color is IHC red.
