If you use spray paint plan on redoing it every month! If you have a air compressor just buy a detail spray gun and go buy a quart of base and a quart of clear...results will be well worth the extra money!!

Yes....for a better job.

I agree with the other guy, a couple shots of clearcoat definately make a difference.
