U mean paint it olive then tape off a star and lightly paint it
Maybe ruff it up once it's dry
That's what I would do.
Make it look weathered

havent had a problem yet
if i get bored of the color i can just rip it off
and dont really plan on doing trail stuff just mudding
and its more of a project than spray painting the whole thing which i like

Here's mine the day I painted it..
Krylon Satin Italian olive
And how it looks now after 8 months of abuse. It held up pretty well I think.

i have a few questions maybe some can answer.
what exactly is the whole process of painting? im planning on just rattle canning it and i sort of understand what to do. i know to scuff it up first do i need to prime it? and if so will black primer be bad for a red final color? thx for any help

Lighter primer
I personally don't prime
Just two coats of whatever color or more if dark base coat.
And wet sanding is best with wets sanding automotive sand paper
Makes it smooth like silk
Then tape and mask anything ya don't want painted
Slow side to side strokes frome left to right and top to bottom
Or vice versa based on situation
Practice on some sheetmetal
If possible or in a not so highly visible spot

its all in the prep work and and spray technique
you might get away without primer. especially if your prep work is good and its a similar color
if you've got bad oxidation or chipping, you will need to sand it all off and feather the chips. fix dents with bondo etc.
the more prep work you do the better the outcome
