Default Car Wars: the Card Game Question

In Car Wars: the Card Game, if someone attacks your car's BACK side, can you defend with both armor AND the Paint Spray card -OR- a swerve AND a Paint Spray card in ONE MOVE? It seems fair to me because if you also play the Paint Spray card, it gets expended and you can't use it again later.

Also, can you use armor after a SPIN card? The Bootlegger Reverse card says you can use armor after the Bootlegger Reverse.

I had to re-read the rules to find these answers!

Armor isn't needed as Paint Spray causes the Attack card to be discarded.

Yes.

Glad to help. I have enjoyed the CWCG in every incarnation it has had. Admittedly I have only played the newest version once. I had no clue there was a Paint Spray card!

Hello,
If you get attacked to your car's Front and then play the Bootlegger Reverse, transferring the damage from the Front to the Back, can you then also play the Paint Spray to eliminate the damage and apply the Paint Spray to your foe's car if he fails to Swerve?

Thanks so much.

I think that's a legal play. If anyone from SJG wants to chime in with a ruling saying no, I am fine with that too.
