Hello all,
I just picked up my classic plate paperwork from the Notary. The DMV rejected my application because of the scratches on the front bumper, and said that my paint has a "blue tint" to it.
I admit the paint is somewhat faded, but I didnt think it was THAT bad. Anyway, I have a few questions.
I did some searching on here but couldnt find the direct answer to the questions I have.

1) I bought 12 cans of spray CARC (383 Green & Brown, 911 Flat Black) from Rapco Parts. Anyone have any experience with this paint in the rattle cans? Quality? Durability?
2) Is it possible/practical for me to tape off each section of the cammo pattern and "freshen the paint" with a few coats ?
3) How will the CARC adhere to the paint thats already on the truck?
4) Any other painting tips would be greatly appreciated. I am in somewhat of a hurry to get this project over so that I can re-apply for my classic plate in order to enjoy the truck this summer.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Piece of advice, use a polaroid camera, and if you can't , use a digital and turn down the quality all the way, stand back 20 ft. of so, and wallah. don't try and get up close like it's going in a magazine, try to think like a non photographer, oh and make shure it's not in direct sun, light shade hides nice.
I'd hose it off ,park in the shade and shoot away, the dummies at penndot will think it just got out of a booth.
Gooood Luck
I've sent pictures of my trucks still in black primer, and with a lift they looked nice and shiney after a hosing off, and moving.
