hmm... is there any way to get a (pretty much permanent) shiny finish with using brush to paint a car?
if not, when spraying, do you use a can (the type you can pick up in most shops like homebase and B&Q)? or another methood?

i ask because i will be painting an autograsser soon. any ideas?

cheers

A roller would be better than a brush and you can get just as good a finish but it's likely to take a lot of work flatting and polishing.

I wouldn't use Aerosols for more than a small area - too expensive 'n the results won't be so good.

The alternative is to invest a lot a compressor and spray gun or use an electric paint gun.

there's a very good thread on roller painting too - that's what gave me the idea, I've always used a brush up to now.
