I'm going to repaint one of my cars this winter. I want it to be cheap and quick. What would be the best kind to use. I was thinking implement. Do you need to use a reducer or just shoot it. And if I bought a gallon of automotive paint could I just brush it on with a paint brush or do I have to use reducer and all of that jazz. Or would it be better to rattle can it. I'm looking for a temporary fix before I redo the whole car. But it will ahev to wait until my next project is done. So I want the paint to be a little permanant. I know from my bus that house paint works. I just brushed that on. Could I just brush automotive paint on the same way, or is it a different chemical compound all together.
Any suggestions thanx.

I guess it all depends on if you care how it looks or not. The auto industry hasn't used brush painting since what, the late 20's early 30's? And I think that was for a good reason. For a quick and dirty, a rattle can is probably your best bet if you don't have access to a spray gun and compressor.

Thanks for the advice, I think i'm going to both rattle can it and brush it. I have access to a spray gun and compressor, but I don't want to waste the time. It's just going to be a temporary fix, until I can get the whole car redone. Then i'll have it painted professionally. Right now we are just going to drink and paint some weekend. I can't wait, it will be like a rolling canvas of creativity. With all the artists I have and all of their ideas, it should look really cool.
