Interesting you should mention that. I got curious a few years ago and
wondered how Krylon would look. Had a spare TR3 door and a can of
Krylon that had to be 10 years old. Decided to try an experiment. I
roughed up the existing paint on the door, wiped off the dust with a
paper towel or something, and sprayed it BRG (more or less). sanded
again and resprayed. Then, I wet sanded with some fine paper...1000,
then 2000 grit maybe? Can't remember. Finally, I used some polish of
some sort on it. Was rather amazed at how it turned out. Certainly not
perfect, but much better than I expected. Maybe it really is like Fred
keeps trying to convince me...there's nothing about a bad paint job
that a little sandpaper won't fix! :)

Heck, I painted a Lotus BODY with Krylon. Did a lousy job, too. Drove it any

I bet Rob has it looking much better already.
