Here is a fairly quick project I had been wanting to do. Batman's Shark Repellent from the 1966 movie. I looked through a lot of spray cans and finally found Quick Color spray paint at home depot. It is very cheap and uses the older style cans that have a straight body and rims on the top and bottom of the can. Newer cans usually have indents at the top and bottom.
I did not want people looking at the can and then trying to spray it, so I emptied the paint. This was the most annoying part of the project. I then sanded the whole can with a fine sanding pad. I primed with dark grey primer and then painted with a coat of midnight blue metallic paint I bought from an auto store. I was not 100% happy with the color so I will be trying another one. There are a bunch of different dark metallic blue auto paints so you should not have a very hard time finding something. I made sure to mask off the top smaller ring and nozzle of the can.
I bought the letters from doityourselflettering.com. They are very easy to apply.
The yellow cap came from a can of spray silicone also sold at Home Depot. Next up, the small cans of Bat-Sleep and Bat-Wake
