Re: is there a way to achieve a nice looking paint job with rattle cans in my interio

Rust-o-elum High Gloss Protective Enamel for both projects, Coldspot fridge and the engine bay of my '61. On the engine bay I had it down to bare metal and sanded smooth then shot it with Rusto metal primer before the grey enamel. takes a few coats but i really like the finish.
First coat is a light dusting, about 50% coverage, repeat for second coat. Then lay on full coverage with even passes that overlap. you want to get the whole surface covered while the paint is still wet and shiny to ensure even drying.
Leave plenty of time between coats to fully dry and see any areas that are thin, showing primer below.
You can use a separate Gloss Finish for a final coat(s) if you want higher shine or more protection.
