Large holes you need to "plug" with dowels or something if you use crap woordfiller  ;)

One can is 15 Euros, wouldn't call it expensive but it's also money. I'll give it another try with more silver paint and without the translucent paint afterwards.

silver paint always needs a clear or it will smear  :(

Indeed, amazing result for spray can......how did you get it so even ? I always have parts that seem covered better than others when spray painting large areas....

Thanksalot, guys, I'm really satisfied with the results. The trick is to be completely naked (high heels are okay), put some lipstick on and dance to "Goodbye Horses" while spraying. :)

Or you just sand it like there is no tomorrow, the more even the surface the better, put primer on, and then spray crosswise (use equal spraying moves and equal distances) while constantly checking from different angles. The more coherent the spraying moves, the better the results (it's a little like in Karate Kid). I think that one benefits from the solvents in the air to help relax. ;D
