No rattle can here. Base coat clear coat with flattening additive in the clear. I din't want it to have to hastle with trying to get all the trash out of a shiny clear as in a shop there would be a lot of trash and no what you sand and buff it out so I opted to put the flatening additive, but looks a little better than stock I think. Thanks.

I really need to do mine. It is scratched up beyond recognition. Can it look good with lasting results if its done with a spray can or do you basically HAVE to bring it to a pro? How much would someone charge to do that? I was thinking about doing the $50 roll-on paint job. It wouldn't be pretty but it would definitely look better than it looks now. My car is black and there are areas in the engine bay that are green where they didn't even spray it all the way from the factory.

A friend did his with I think Duplicolor spray can and it has been about a year and a half still looks pretty good. Black would be one of the easier colors to do. Good Luck! Thanks guys.
