would this work?!

[ScaryVoodooGirl]

While I'm waiting on parts I want to clear/seal the top of the Comet, since I'll be keeping it white on top to show the patina....this should work...right? give it a quick clean/scuff and then this over top? The matte finish is appealing....

Or if not, can anyone suggest something? Rattle can preferred as I'll be doing this in my garage. I'm just tired of doing nothing but staring at the car while I'm waiting.

Ask RatTruck440, he just did that on his rat. Find out what he used.

Use a flat clear though

Rattle can is going to look like... rattle can. It will be uneven and striped and take away from the look IMO. Wait until you can spray it with a proper gun. Patience...

I will second the flat clear, and I would highly suggest getting yourself a spray gun to hook up to your compressor, its really not as hard to lay down paint if you don't give a whole damn about what it looks like...ya know? If you're not going for a show car quality then practice would be fun.

I second that, wait for a gun. get you a cheap one and use it and practice...and have fun

You can get 2 gravity fed guns from Harbor Freight (yes...I know you get what you pay for, but again if you're not going for show quality) for $50.00...

This is the way, don't F it up right off the bat
Only a pro is gonna know if it's a POS gun anyway [S
Just remember, friends tell it like it is

I don't know if this is an insult or a compliment?

Neither.

 

[Old Iron]

BED is correct it is neither
It is in agreement with you[cl
I'm not a pro body or paint man.
I have a cheap HVLP gun for just what we're talkin about
I have no need for an expensive gun cause my buddy is a fantastic body and paint man

 

[motrhd]

Just a thought, I have a gravity feed gun that cost me $200 back in '91 and a $35 Chinese copy of a Binks model 7, these are my only two guns. Guess which one is the POS, painting is just part of the hobby for me but my paint looks as good as any.

I'm not a body shop by no means, but did this car for a friend with a $40.00 paint gun from NAPA and I think it turned out okay.
