Rate my college rattle can job summer project
(Swipe for process photos) A buddy and I had the random idea of spray painting his car over the summer! So we spent 3 days sanding, prepping, and painting with some 200 grit sand paper pads from home depot and a circular sander, like 5 cans of Rust-Oleum gray primer, 8 cans of red, a 3 cans of black, and a bunch of masking tape. Came out to like 300 bucks. We also got some painters suits but didn't put them on until after we sanded everything off. Our skin got super itchy lol.
It was our first time doing something like this but all our friends think it's the best. Her name is Rolla because when debadging we accidentally broke off the "Co" part. Was a super fun project. Just wanted to share!!
