AK-Z Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 The problem would be the lint/fibers the would come off the roller and putting on an even coat. I guess you can wet sand the lint and then just buff it. Hhhhmmmm In thinking if trying it, or at least try to experiment on something.

J__ Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 a high density roller doenst have fibers. its like that sponge material girls (or guys depending on profession) use to put on foundation. the white triangular ones. very VERY fine grained and small holes. no fibers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Looks like the idea may have some merit in the right situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poundz9oh9 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Looks like a good spring project to me -- I'll keep ya's posted -- I think I'll try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 i have done this on a few body panels (not whole car) and it does work great. its pretty much the same method as doing pinstriping. got to thin it out really well and just paint away. its the wetsanding that really makes it look great, it really looks like crap just before you sand. you'll say "oh man what did i do".. but then after wet sanding it the 1st time you'll say "oh wow im good".. haha. just be sure to use the right paint and correct roller. they also have brushes using the same type of foam that you can get in the hard to reach places that the roller cant reach. i would tape up the belt moldings and etc or just take the easy to take off parts well.. off. have fun guys! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 This should work great with all the enamel impliment paints that are sold at TSC hardware stores etc. Made by valspar. Not going to be a great 10,000 dollar 3 stage job but will definatly do for a driver or racecar. I have been contemplating this for a long time. Someone please let us see some results. I was thinking about going this route with the satin black on one car but now that I think about it there are other colors I would love to try.

Guest ON3GO Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 im looking for another Z hood to fool with.. like flames and etc. if i find one ill do the roller method and take step by step pics. anybody in houston have a spare 280Z hood that doesnt need a ton of body work for a good price?? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Wow, cool stuff. I was going to try out DuraCoat, but this would be a lot cheaper and easier to touch up. The Caterpillar yellow looks a lot like the yellow color that came on the Fairlady 432's: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-Z Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 One of my friends said his friend used a paintbrush. It looks ok. I would think it would be a pain to sand after though. (roller)Would you have to wet sand even more than if you were to spray it? I would think you still have to do this in a booth of somekind, am I right?

dj paul Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 im definately going to try this! this looks great. just dont try and hurry it, it looks like prepwork is still the biggest thing. i would say that you at least should clean your area and tape it off with plastic like he mentioned.

innerware Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 But haven't I heard a lot of you guys flaming rustoleum products here? It seems like a really easy and fairly fast approach. But what of the paint choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what of the paint choice? Plus to add to that, what of coverage? I'm sure there are issues with trying to get paint in certain spots that spraying would get easily.
