decided after a few weeks of thought/research to perform a roll on paint job. I have rattle canned a few vehicles before however they always come out uneven and runny.
I considered maaco, but this would still mean me doing all body work and a crap paint job for 399 plus tax.
All materials including mask set me back just under 100 bucks. I already had sanders/sand paper/tape.
100 got me nice rollers of different sizes,1 gallon of paint, nice trays, 3m painting mask.The paint is stuff meant to be sprayed for tractors, very tough. and drys damn fast.
Saturday was body work day. since this car ahs been hit more times than mike tyson I didnt feel bad throwing on a cheap paint job. I deff intend on rolling this thing sometime this summer btw.
n e ways I started with this.
Sunday woke up and just jammed on it, got some great help from the roomate on rhinolining the top, taking care of an exhuast leak,re-jetting the carb carb
Came out a world better than a rattle can job. I do still want to do another layer. Paint some details/ If I would have really taken my time with wet sanding it would would have turned out very presentable for a 100bucks.
Of course I would never throw this stuff on my T/A, but for a old truck it worked out perfectly. Let me know what you think. Btw, I plan on either repositioning the front bumper///or just ripping it off.
