I have an X7 that I want to paint in a blue tiger pattern. I dont want to shell out the cash for duracoat, and I want to know what all of my other options are. Does anybody know how car paint will work? How about spray paint? any info is greatly aprecitated.

Nice COD ref, but not very helpful... lol...

I have tried spray paint on a friends A5, did not stick well... as for automotive i am guessing it would be about the same unless you used an etching primer... is the X7 with the rough "nice" finish or the smooth paint like finish? if it is the rough you have a shot at it sticking... if it is the smooth i would deal out the dough to have someone do it professionally as the smooth likes to come off...

Just replce his camo colours with blue, also did you try using Krylon Fusion Spray Paint? cause I have used alot of that and it seems to work, Also when painting make sure you shake the can well and are in a area where the tempurature it about 70 degrees F if it is too cold the paint will run and not stick.

Hope It Helps!!

1st off you need to honestly strip the powder coat, thats currently on the marker, and rough up the body with a high grit sand paper... Guarantee spray paint will stick then.

use airplane stripper and some elbow greese to get the powder coat off.
