The cowl on 01 Jeep is flaking the clear coat, so I'd like to either have sprayed or re-spray it myself. I have painted a few things in the past, it's been a few yew years, but I do have a couple of paint guns. That said, I was looking and can get an 8oz spray can of the paint for about $15 on amazon, it's the PR4 flame red. Has anyone had success or what's my chances of successfully scuffing and repainting the cowl with an 8oz spray can? I figure it can't look much worse and if I totally screw it up, I just pay someone to respray or go buy paint store paint and do again.
FWIW....I thought about buying one on ebay for $100 already the correct color, but I haven't seen one with perfect paint, so right back where I started.
P.S. to complicate things, the passenger fender has a rust spot forming about 1" wide and about 4-5" long, so I need to repair that as well. This seems to be a common rust spot, is there a reason? I figure it won't be perfect, but anything has to be better than pealing clear and rust!
Last thing, were these clear coated from factory? This jeep had taken out a street sign with prior owner, so aftermarket driver fender and hood I believe, so some of the front has been resprayed.
