I wanted to try out the paint from http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ so I looked up my paint code on the http://www.coolcruisers.com/ website and then ordered a few rattle cans.

The perfect target for trying out the new paint was a pair of old fuels cans in the garage.

A little masking to save the original stickers

Scrubbed down and primed

and cans are good as new and the color match is I'm sure what the trucked looked like when it left the factory a long long time ago. Now I have two shiny cans to toss in the back of the troopie and scratch up!

looks great! Would be hard to do that with Sceptre cans though!

Duplicolor makes spray cans for flexible bumper paint, but alas, only in five boring colors. Black ,Gray ,Tan ,Medium Silver ,Dark Charcoal. But somebody might be able to use this product for some cool alternative purpose.
