Gonna try and paint my Charger like this, matte black, rattle can with fan tips

[SeattleCharger]

Hi, I painted my hood on my Bronco about 14 months ago, it was wasted, figured, heck, prob. can make it look better than it did, it didn't turn out to bad, and I was thinking afterwards, heck, I should paint my Charger myself like this.  After I sort of figured out how to do this, it was kind of fun.

          DeWalt palm sander, sanded down hood of rust and tried to level off all edges, the contrast of paint to primer to metal, then primered a few coat to build it up, wet sanding with the super fine black paper on the palm sander each coat, then gloss black, few coats, wet sanding each time, then a coat of clear coat gloss, that dulled down the gloss black some and made it a more matte black look, doesn't really match the gloss black of the rest of truck, didn't expect clear coat to dull the gloss, but it did, I tell people I did it on purpose to cut down glare of sun when driving.    I still haven't buffed it and waxed it, it has held up about a year so far,

    Here are some pics.  I used rustoleum rattle can with the attachment that give the can a tirgger, holding down spray can with finger didn't work well, finger went numb, but the trigger attachment was great, also you can buy different fan tips for the cans I found which worked way way better than the top spray part that comes stock on the rattle can.  The fan gives way better pattern and control of application.   Ya, its a cheap paint job, but until I can afford a real one and do the body work right, this will maybe be cool.  I don't know.

What the hell why not? flat black hood worked on the Mopars. Thats a nice lookin Bronco    The 87-91 Ford truck years are definitly my favorite except for maybe the 79s. Ive had the same 88 F150 now for about 11 years and its been a great truck. A little underpowered with the 302, 3.55 gears, 33 inch tires and 3 inch lift but its got 160k trouble free miles on it

My 69 is a Krylon paint job, although I didn't have the trigger.

When I got her, she was multi-colored. I spent all my $ on the car and couldn't afford a real paint job, so to appease the neighbors I krylon'd her to have everything match.

A few kids later, I still haven't painted her properly.

My '69 was rattle can black for the first year and a half that I owned it. I actually miss having the car painted that way. It looked like it was a warrior in that paint.

Thanks for sharing your pictures of your cars, they look great like that.   

    I like the Road Warrior movie a bunch, the 2nd one of the three, and the Blade car is great matte black.     Although the road warrior didn't have a charger like that, the style of the road warrior cars, especially the bad guys, sort of like that.  Tough looking, there was a Mopar bad guy car in there, in the tanker truck chase scene, maybe a cuda?  I don't know.  remember that?  Had a blacked out grill maybe.  I'll have to watch that again.
