I have some scratches in the trunk and backside of my hood. Spray bomb? Small brush? Whats best, easiest, safest? Any Ideas?

Thanks

Flat black spray paint out of the can. shake well -
Make sure the area is clean and dry and warmed to 70 or 80 degF.
If the paint can is cold - warm it too. Better to use multible
light coats - avoid heavy coats. You can handle it.

Jeff,
Test shoot a small area because you will find the paint may not stick, mine didn't so I had to do some cleaning with Naptha and a bit of sanding. Just a heads up.

Light sanding would be good, would help give the paint something to adhere to.

But then again, why am I telling you that. You're a painter!!!

(and we still need to do my house brother!!!)

Don- I know. Thats why I have such a hard time facing you. I will do it first thing in the spring. Promise! Whenever that is. Usually Wakefield is about a month behind Plaistow. But I'm there, all over that one.

Thanks for the heads up though. Prep-Sol in the autobody world. I can't do nothin' with paint until probably March in my Garage.

The more I think about it; I should have bought a new car. You guys got out cheap. What's that song " I'm over my head, over my head. But it sure feel nice" Fleetwood Mac?

Who knew?
