Bad puns

Him (after she spent a day sanding Car down to primer, and he spent two days primering and painting it a deep, sparkling metallic blue): Well, how's it look??

Her (contemplating the unevenness of the paint due to the fact that we attempted to do this with cheapo spray cans): Uh, it's a *beautiful* color... but it's really uneven. It definitely looks like, um, a Handjob!

Him: Well, it's nice to know your car is into auto-erotica...

So, does anyone know the best way to inexpensively paint a car? I will have to go over it again using an alternate method.

they make specialized can trigger spray things for even coating with sparay cans. we use to use them at the sign plae, and they worked rather well.

Would a spray can with this trigger device spray evenly on a large surface like an entire car (as opposed to a small touchup area, which is what spray cans are usually used for)?

If you think it would work on a car, what store has them?

yes infact I believe they are designed for that purpose, and enerally, touch up paint comes in smaller cans. an automotive supply store should have them. or a paint store, which overall, might be a better idea to go to.
