Im looking for a thread that surfaced a while back. It was a guy who spray painted his car but did it really well. It was a red car (Dont think it was a 240 though) and he had a walkthrough. It was also very cheap.The car was also wetsanded, cleared and buffed and look really good. Anyone help me?

rattlecanning can come out good if you take your time, but larger panels will be a ***** to do especially if youre considering a flat color.
