How to you get a really good hi gloss mirror paint job from a spray can? is that possible?

all paint jobs are the same.. Prep work is the key





now if your trying to paint a large item with a spray can you will get 'tiger stripes' in the paint cause the spray pattern of the can is to norrow and you cant get a good enough overlap before paint starts to flash...





But sand with 80 grit, then again with 120, wash with grease and wax remover, prime





Then sand primer with 220 then 320 paper





Blow/wipe clean.. Then paint.. More amount of lighter coats is better than fewer number of heavy coats. Let paint flash between coats





Then go back once full dried in a couple of days and 'color sand' the paint. Using alot of water and wet/dry type of sand paper in 1000 grit sand painted surface, then step up to 1200 grit, then 1400 grit paper





Keep washing off the part and keep it and paper wet.





Then once thats done, go back with a buffer and wool pad and rubbing compound and buff it out, then use a polishing compund and foam pad to finish up





You will end up with a very deep, high gloss finish like you see on show carsHow to you get a really good hi gloss mirror paint job from a spray can? is that possible?
a lot of coats and a lot of wet sanding.
