I used Rustoleum,I have had pretty good results with it i did my old rims with the same paint and they came out just as good,Don't Realy have any tips im not all that good with Rattle can paint untill i tried rustoleum if the conditions for painting are good it comes out good,Reading the directions on the can seemed to help me out.

Another rattle can master. Nice. Paint is paint if you can shoot it right. Def think about having it cleared though if you keep the car outside. Or be prepared to wax it every wash.

did you not wet sand the final coat? if not, it didnt leave any orange peel?

Nope,And Nope.I have never ran into Orange Peel with a Rattle Can.

i find that very hard to believe. anything i have ever painted with a rattle can leaves orange peel. whether it be on a car, or anything around the house.

i actually dont understand how you wouldnt get orange peel from using a rattle can. just from the simple fact that the paint shoots out of the can in microscopic dots, and naturally applies to the surface in that texture, would cause orange peel. its not like you do something to the paint to make it orange peel.

Idk what to tell you,You get orange peel with a Real paint gunto if you don't do it right,Its all about the conditions you paint in i guess.I used Gloss Black Rustoluem Rattle cans on my wheels also with no orange peel.
Old Wheels.

looks awesome

oh im not doubting you that it came out nice, i just find it hard to believe that a spray on paint came out with a glass smooth finish without any wet sanding or other finishing work.
