Darrel, will be interesting to see your results once you have time to finish. Keep us updated.
Duplicolor just came out with a paint that is ready to go out of the can, no mixing, reducing etc. And there is no recoat window. Seems like a nice alternative for spraying a car yourself. A bit easier.
I agree this roller method seems very labor/time intesive. Inexpensive materials and less mess from overspray, but the time to do all the coats and then wet sanding takes a lot of time, guess its all relative.
The previous owner of my car painted it himself, not a bad job but he mixed leftover colors to get the blue. He must have run low when he was doing the doors, paint is thin and blotchy, looks really bad in the sun. Body work is good, really smooth, I'd just have to scuff and repaint.
I want my car to look like it has an original paint job. While being fresh paint on it that could be a 70's paint job. That is why I was thinking using this rustoleum method might look "old" but be a new paint job.
