SteveW Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Where is the best place to get rattle cans, i.e. quality ones. I'm planning on painting the centre console black with silver metal flecks in and want to do a good job so trying to find the best quality rattle cans. The only place I can think of for cans at the moment is Halfords, but have no idea how good quality these rattlers are. thank you Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 www.paints4u.com have very good quality nozzles for even distribution and reduced splatter. they also use high quality paint. if i was doing any spraying be it from a rattle can or a proffessional gun; this is the only place i'd get my paint from.

dcash5 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Halfords do some good ones if you get it mixed up rather than the stuff off the shelf. You're after a fan spray style instead of the conicle style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 paints4u use a fan shaped nozzle. i used to keep the nozzles off dead cans, then if i was buying cheap paint from halfrauds for other jobs i'd reuse the nozzles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Thanks chaps paints4u it is I'll have a look later and get them ordered. Hopefully the centre console will look ad good as I 'think' it will.... If not it'll be getting carbon wrapped. I just fancy something different.
