   By the time you have bought the cans youd prob need around 5-6 cans instead of wasting money on them put it towards getting it done properly be worth it in the long run mate.
   using cans you dont get as good as a finish as using a gun will look all streeky.
   but up to you mate youd need 5-6 plus laqour aswell.

   its probably going matte black anyway so not too bothered about the finish, if it does look wank i'll get it done properly.
   
   this is probably a really stupid question but im new to spraying - do you need to laquer matte black? i'm guessing the answer is yes, but not alot?

   If its matt then do it yourself, if its gloss, metalic etc then get a proper place to do it dont bother with rattle can lol

   matt black does not have no shine so you dont need to apply laqour to it.
