Having just taught myself to spray paint after the roll, and decided against using 2Pac due to the greater health risks, i was able to get a really good finish easily using Acrylic,
The Tip. Use Protec Acrylic, it has better gloss straight off the gun compared to all the other Acrylic i tried, and with light compounding it looks as good as the 2pac.
(and dont paint when its 40 degrees outside in the sun )
