I need some advice, im spraying my boot not the whole boot just a certain area, what would be the best way to go about this, as i dont want it to look like the car has been patched up with bits of paint here and there.

Also will i need to lacquer it after i have sprayed this area, and how can i get it to mix into the original paint making it look original ??


I have the correct colour of paint

Probably when the car was built lol in 1995 ... although i can get it buffed up and the colour is quite an impressive match, the paint on the car is quite good for the age of it

I sprayed a few bits for my old Corsa with rattle cans. As long as you prepare what you are spraying well, and take the roughness off the paint every couple of coats I found that the results were spot on.
