I found this magazine article in "Hot Rod". http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/body/hrdp_0707_1962_ford_falcon_budget_paint_job/index.html

 

It caught my eye because they painted a car using 2 quarts of Rustoleum with a roller! Sounds good pluses are no overspray, easy masking, easy to touch up and cheap. But tons of sanding and limited colors. They said it wasnt show car quality but better then the cheap "one day" paint shops. I think it would be perfect for a daily driver/track car. Just thought I would share.

 

Heres where Hot Rod got the idea from.

Heres a pic of a Charger that a guy painted using this method.

Putting Rustoleum on with a roller is not easy...at least not easy to get a nice looking job. I did it and it was ok...but a LOT of work and still way too much orange peel. Next spring I'm going to use auto paint and the Preval system for most of it. We'll see how that works.
