I'm going to try duplicolor in the can as opposed to the rattle can The liocal counter help isn't too up on painting just what they find in their books

I would also suggest a single stage instead of a two stage. Less work and will give you the same results for what you are using it on.

I'm going to paint the metal bumper mainly, going to paint the plastic parts with what I have left in the rattle can to use it up. I'm not planning on using hardner in fact didn't even know of it. I am planning on using some sort of retarder, I read temps over 95 when spraying will be too warm without it. said drying too fast will cause it to crack so I'm going to try that. I just need to find the ratio. I'll try the 50/50 see how that tests out thanks I'll keep you informed
