its possible to do it yourself but really if you want it looking nice you better have the right tools and technique or jsut take it to a garage. you probably wont get great results from a spray can but i think it can be done. if you have access to an air compressor a paint gun and automotive paint, i think thats the best. i think good result can come out of a spray can if you sand it really smooth then polish with rubbing compound. so if you know what youre doing i think its very possible for you to do it yourself. im sure theres guys on this forum who can help you with that

If you have the right spray gun and an air compressure and a good clean garage area with out dust, then I would say go for it. But if you don't have that kind of area and avaiable equipment, then let a pro body shop do it . [sm=americanasmiley.gif]WheelBrokerAng
