Side Panel Paint?

[AFlyingBuffalo]

I was just wondering if I can use regular spray paint to paint my side panels, or do I need to get a special kind of paint?

You can as long as it's the appropriate metal paint, and properly prep the surface by scuffing it with scotch brite pads or fine grit sandpaper and cleaning before painting. If you want extra durability something like an enamel will provide better wear.

Plasti-Dip.

Sand it down and use spray paint for metal. I'd advise against using Plasti-Dip, real paint is much more durable and gives a much better end result.

Thanks!

 

Dont overpaint and get runs. I would suggest sanding it down > primer > colour (light misting the first coat and then heaver and heaver coats).

Thank you! I'm doing white for the panels and leaving the frame black, I think it'll look nice.

Dont forget to tape and tape well. If you overpaint it will look horrible.
