Lazyeye Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 My objective was to paint my 280zx to look good at 20 feet, without spending much money. I didn't like the peeling brown paintjob she came with, so a temporary solution was called for. So some sanding rust spots, clearcoat, and 4 cans of Krylon Satin Black later...

Empire Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Looks good for only 4 cans. Did you use the new Krylon Outdoor one with the UV protector in it? I've been contemplating doing something similar with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazyeye Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 @Empire: I don't recall if the can advertised UV protector, but it was the indoor/outdoor stuff @Hughes: I live in Grants Pass (for now) We'll probably end up re-doing it next summer as was the original plan, we just got overly ambitious on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
