a while back when i was a huge computer nerd i found this website that shows you how to get an amazing shine from a spray paint can, you can get it mirror like. you could do it on your car. just a lot of sanding between coats to get rid of the orange peel look that you have and finish it of with rubbing compound and polishing compound. you wouldnt be able to tell the difference b/w the can and a pro

its not that hard just practice on something, anyone can do it. just sand the area really good, apply the paint, if it looks like crap, wait a day then sand it back down a little and put another coat on it, just keep doing that till you get the results you want. I could make it look better if i sanded it and applied another coat, the way it is now was just one coat and no sanding.

RE: Ive been asked a lot so here ya go

it stuck just fine on my gt i did the hood scoop and the rear spoiler on it, never had any probs with it. Ive washed and wax my car to many times to count and havent had any probs with it.
