ORANGEZ Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 you can if you want it would look alot better ..but for me i just taped it up and used a foam brush with a sharp edge. It did the job so im happy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 BEORE YOU CONTINUE... Get this section flat! It looks like you had some dripping up there. Put at least 2 more coats over the affected area once you get it flat.. The rest looks good! nice progress! OTM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlawZ Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 just wanted to show what rustoleum in a paint gun comes out like... please note this is before sanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Really hazy...Wet sand the hell out of that thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlawZ Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 i started the wet sanding, honestly, the amount of work + $40 of rustoleum paint and thinner = shouldve bought actual car paint..... let me tell anyone thinking of doing this, looks better than 30yr old paint for sure, looks okay to drive around, but im not even in to shows or getting into magazines, and i really cn tell the difference. you can get a whole gallon of car paint on ebay in almost every color for under $50, do it. the rustoleum shows where it is sprayed more and not, car paint comes out even, even when its thicker in spots. i am glad i tried it, and would do it to an old car i didnt care about, but not a 240z again, im still going to get a new paint job within a month or 2.

J__ Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 finally got some pics of my roller jobs lol, been a while since i started this thread. glad to see everyone's using it to their advantage! some nice looking roller jobs here quarter sanded with 1500grit. WAY less scratches than the roof. roof was sanded with 800 grit only and polished, under sunlight u can see the scratches from the coarser sandpaper, i was too lazy to use higher grit sandpaper lol. i tried to catch the sunlight to show the spider webbing. all in all, this paint dries HARD, its not as easy to polish as normal clearcoat or even rattle can spray paint, so the sanding marks are a bit harder to polish out, however i imagine if u go with 2000+ grit sandpaper to finish, results can be very desirable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started painting mine about a week ago. Still 2 coats left to apply. This method is cheap but be prepared to spend A LOT of time on sanding!!!!!

This method is cheap but be prepared to spend A LOT of time on sanding!!!!! haha yea u need to do alot of sanding, but at least its fairly easy to sand AND the paint is alot more durable/scratch resistent to scuffs and marks than auto paint/clearcoat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheney119 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 No! There's no way you could achieve this with a just a roller. You would need a buffer with some polish and you'd have about $5000 left in your checking account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J__ Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 ^^^ erm... yea.. u roll on paint, wetsand smooth, then polish with a buffer/compound... obviously its not goin to look that smooth right after u roll on the paint..

GregFarz78 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Very interesting thread I'm gonna pick up a body panel next time I go to the junkyard and experiment a little with spraying rustoleum...after wet sanding and buffing it out are you guys spraying a clear coat?

JakeWard Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Wow this makes me want to try their GlowMax acrylic enamel on my POS Tercel. How awesome would it be to drive around in a glowing car... theres probably some laws about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bulldugg Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'm going to paint my Jeep Cherokee this way. I have a couple of questions, though. 1. Since I'm painting it the same color (almond rustoleum is an exact match(?)) and the current paint is in ok shape, how many coats do you recommend. I'm just trying to clean up chips and stuff. 2. How warm should it be to get good adhesion and drying. This will be done in a garage. I'm in the bay area and it's still fairly warm for the next couple of months.

WideBodyAccord Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I don't own a Hybrid but I have done the $50 Rustoleum Paint Job. While browsing the web I came across this thread. I figured I'd show my results as I took many pics throughout the process. This was my first time ever trying this paint method. I am sold on it. Heres a quick link to all my photos. It's worth checkin out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/widebodyaccord/ ">">My 1996 Honda Accord with a custom wide body before the Rustoleum Gloss white painted was rolled on. I did all the work myself. ">"> Heres a pic with about 3 coats rolled on. I mixed Rustoleum Gloss white with mineral spirits."> ">"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
