    It's one of the best ways to get a cheap paint job that actually last.alupso1thinned the paint.Another member did I think a HB w/o paint thinning.All you need is a HVLP sprayer & a gallon of Rustoleum.It was started by a Canadian Dodge guy that painted a Charger & his Dad's Bug with a roller.The HB guy found it a lot easier to do it with a HVLP sprayer.

    :arrow: The Secret to a great paint job is prep.Mainly colour sanding.If done right it can look like a $3000 paint job.Probably around a 100-200 hours of sanding.Even w/o the sanding it looks pretty good.You'll probably spend as much w/ur rattle can.

    :idea: Another idea I have is to have a tagger shoot your whole car.They'll most likely do it for the cost of paint. :lol: I know it's Crazy,but cool!

    :arrow: The prob with Rustoleum is limited colour selection.Another type of paint to use is boat paint.The prob with water-based paints is it's not as glossy.The Canadian Rustoleum might be oil-based like the boat paint.

    I had pretty good results with the rustoleum paint job, but I recommend not to use a dark color. I used black and it was pretty tough getting it to look good but after lots of sanding I got a nice shine to it.
