    So doess anyone know if this would give a decent result. I'm trying to sell my girlfriends car and the paint is peeling. If this would look decent just to sell it, its worth a shot

    I saw that pic in the thread, but I dont think that its legit. Seems too good to be true. I wonder how it looks up close.

    wont be long before that shit starts to crack, and everytime u hit a rock or something its gonna chip and its gonna leave nasty spots when you have to paint over it.

    If you dont have a metallic paint you can use enamel with good results. The good thing about the enamel is that you can polish it up and it looks like new again. Best colors for enamel are white, black, and red.
