Hi, my name is Jeremy McCarthy and I just thought you might like to see another pic of my pinto since i've painted it.  It started out lime-yellow from the factory.  It is now a color named wildberry with gloss white stripes.  If you'd put this on the new site, i would really appreciate it.  alot of hard work and dedication has been put into this one.  thanks

  Good lookin paint from a rattle can.How many cans did it take you and did you use a clear coat over it?
  I attempted spray can painting my Pinto years back and it didn't turn out as well as yours did.I failed to clear coat my work so it faded out extra fast and I wound up sanding everything back down and went with primer once again.
I used to own several Pinto's both street and parts cars.Through the years I have sold and dismantled them.I shouldn't have sold my 1st Pinto but I did...so I am on here looking to find another to work on,drive,restore,and add some custom touches to.

Looks good. I've seen a couple of rattle can paint jobs that look great (and this is one of them). It's all in the prep work (lots and lots of sanding). Buy your sand paper in bulk, you can buy it by the box :)

actually it took about 14 or 15 cans of wildberry and about another 5 of gloss white.  It wasn't too bad tho, bought the Duplicolor paint on clearance for $1 for an 11oz can ;)
