The process is documented pretty well in the 2 links posted in my original post. It's very simple but labor intesive. This is a temporary paint job, had we stripped the car completely of its trim/handles/locks/ect. it would be that much better.Damn, that looks better than my paint does now. What is the exact process?
That's it dude, it's not going to win "the Ridler" but will look presentable for a driver/ weekend toy.My take on this is, it may not look like a show car but i bet it looks better than 99% of the cars out there with factory '80s paint. If i hadn't worked out a deal on getting mine painted right, i would've gone this route.
Hello, join in anywhere you want to. Many of us have been on here for years and welcome new members and their questions.Thats awesome lookin good... this is inspiring haha... im new to this thread btw so... HI!
As you can see some panels were in primer, what was left of the painted sections we sanded down with 600 grit and rolled over it. It covered quite well as Rustoleum is able to go over bare metal.This may be a stupid question but did you remove the old paint or just paint over?
We started last Friday, the thicker base coats we let dry for 12+ hours so on ambitous days we could get 2 coats...the sanding every other coat is where the majority of time has been spent.That's friggen' awsome for a roll on job! Did you do everything just today?
a billion times better than just about every rattle can job I've seen.
Did you do the door jams too?
Yeah...you could always sell your house out there and move back this wayhas come a long way since we put coat 1 on, cant wait to see it done! wish i was a little closer so i could see it through the entire process!
O man that car looks awesome! what is it a honda accord? i bet that owner is a pretty smart guy. looks to me like he did take it to a paint shop. whats the difference he leaves it at flavadaves shop and the work gets done for him...
On the jeep, I painted the wheels with rustoleam black, then cleared over with sherwin williams clear, turned out perfect. (The clear was $60 a gallon including hardener).
Looks great so far. You can make that rustoleum paint look great.

The key will be how you finish sand and compound/polish - it can look awesome!
