only spray paint i would ever use on the car is matte black because it is the only non gloss color that looks any good imo. i think a matte black stang would look fukin amazing.

I've seen people do a fairly good job with a spray can, but there's a trick to it. When the nozzle is made it has ragged edges around the edge. This causes the spray density to inconsistent. Take a hot pin or needle and insert it into the nozzle just barely touching it to smooth out the edges. This will result in a more uniform spray.

A better idea would be to get an airbrush and a compressor. It is much more controllable and you can adjust the air volume to get better results. Also, remember, preparation is 75% of what makes a good paint job.

Ummm you might be able to paint the calipers or some interior pieces but that would pry be all you would want to do. At the same time you mess up its done for so i wouldnt recommend any spray painting.
