  • The Rattle Can Paintjob Thread.

    You painted your car yourself using rattle cans? You're in the right spot. Share the love.

    Anyways, I searched and haven't found anything like this.

    YES, Rattle Can Paintjobs can easily look like shit - but if some effort is made they can look very good too!


    All things rattle can paintjob related can go in here. Wether it's pictures or discussions about how to do it etc.


    I'll start with a few pictures I have found on the web:























    And a few questions:

    Since I am forced to abandon my plans for my Touring (which included a complete rebuild with also having it professionally sprayed) due to personal & financial reaons, I am contemplating doing a DIY paintjob myself using rattle cans since it will need new paint once I get around to fixing the bodydamage.

    I don't want it to stay that way forever though, so I'd like to go with a paint that is easy to remove or work with for a bodyshop once it's time for a real professional respray. Or more like what kind of paint to avoid if the car will get professionally resprayed later.

    I'm looking for some kind of matte colors.

        alot of those look done with a spray gun, just with satin/matte paint.

          Some of the finish on those is flawless, they can't be rattle cans surely.

          The camo looks good, usually matt paint goes patchy, but with a camo effect it kinda hides that.

            To be honest you may be better off buying a spray gun and a tin of paint because it takes a lot of rattle cans to do a whole car nicely and would probably cost more. I agree though, you can definitely get a very good finish with them

              I used rustoleum thinned out on my beetle with a gun just like you would if you were rolling it, i rolled it brown first and didnt like how it turned out

              for not using clear and having no real idea what i was doing it turned out good i would say, still holding up well, dont have the car anymore however
