I got a vehicle in desperate need of painting and I want to do a roll on cause of budget and I have seen a few turn out good. However never got to talk to their owners. That and my spray painting sucks.
How much paint was used?
How many coats did ya do?

from what i remember it was rustoleum outdoor house paint. they did like 4 coats wetsanding in between and a full week because of drying time. if your doing it half-*** anyways why not take the easier route. Maaco or plasti-dip.

Ok let me tell you first hand that I tried to do this on a scrap car just for the hell of it and **** that ****!
You better have plenty of time... loads of sandpaper and be prepared to paint, sand, paint, sand, break thru the paint, start all over, paint, sand, paint and eventually after a month final sand and polish.
Honestly sand your car down really good, mask it all off and trailer it to a Macco. You will a lot happier and will probably spend about the same amount of money.
Good luck!!!

This brings back memories. When I was about 7 or 8 my dad bought an old chevrolet pickup that was multi colored. We took a weekend, sanded it down, dusted it off, taped it off, and rolled on a couple of coats of rustoleum green. It looked better than the Optimus prime it started as, but after a couple of months, it faded and always looked chaulky.
With the childhood memories out of the way, Just spend some time block sanding it down, and rattle can it flat (or semi gloss looks kinda cool/murdered) black. Dont roll it, cause when its said and done, and you want to do it right, it will be a pain to sand it down. Just my .02. Eric L
