    spray paint vs professional auto

    I have several parts painted professionally smooth silver in my truck but I currently have my console in parts sanded to 800grit ready for paint. Mostly the upper half of console the lower section will remain stock. Anyways all the rip off shops here want 200-400 to paint the few small pieces that i've already sanded. If I take my time would there be a noticeable difference in some sort of spray paint vs paying this priec for professional? thanks

    if you use good paint and take your time it should look close to the same

    practice on a few old parts first

    Re: spray paint vs professional auto

    what would you recommend for spray paint and primer for it? I just dont have the abililty to spray gun it and I can't decide if I wanna pay a shop that much lol


    also one of the plastic pieces is kinda black where the others are light grey....... is that gonna cause the paint to have slightly different tint to it?

    paint like this?
