Stainless steel spray paint not to bad

Well i couldnt stand looking at my pitted rusty old rear bumper so i pulled it off and decided to paint it, i didnt want to go with the CHROME spray paint since it looks more aluminum so i found this stainless steel paint by dupli color and i must say it doesnt look to bad, its almost like a metallic flake.

 

Looks pretty good from what I can see.

Got a more close up picture?

 

Looks good - one of the best bumper spray colors I've seen

 

Looks great in the pic. I would also like to see some closer pics.

 

looks like a nice color for some frontend parts...

 

Here ya go

 

Does look good.

 

I used that to paint the center spokes of my sport steering wheel, came out decent, too.

 

Thanks for that reply - I will have to get some of this paint for that same purpose

 

Just make sure your last coat is a full wet coat so the protective resins will rise to the top before setting up. Dust coats don;t hold up as well and color can even change slightly as well. This "full wet coat" provides the protective layer that helps to avoid discoloration and smudging of the base colors metallic frits. Heating the can in hot water prior to applying heavy full wet coats helps to avoid runs too.

Basically, spray "hot and heavy" and then hit it with a fan immediately afterwards to avoid sags a runs.

 

Thanks for the tips

 

Yep, right back atcha', bud. Just sharing the trials and errors of nearly 30 years of painting with brushes, guns, and cans. Lots and LOTS of errors.

Also just paying it forward for all the helpful tips you and others around here so graciously give us, Bob.

 

Yes, looks very good and a little bit cheaper than a rechrome.
