Rustoleum and a roller...

thats crazy but could the results be true?

The only the way thing was done on the cheap was the fact he did it.

The satisfaction factor was large. And, it was an honest $50 in materials, a couple hours of painting and sanding everyday for a week or so, and then the buff out. True, the buffer I bought cost more than the paint materials (and bodywork materials, come to think of it), but it's a -great- buffer.

Painting and sanding EVERYDAY for a couple hours (3-5?) for "about" week (so like 8 days?), imagine the costs if this was at a shop. If you have that amount for time available for a solid week I guess.

Looks good though, have some withdrawals about anyone attempting this in any other then white.

My Grandfather used to love telling the story about how he painted his Black Packard in the same manner. Several coats of black lacquer with a paintbrush, then sanding and sanding until it looked like glass.

I'm dying to actually try this on a car. Looks like fun!.

A couple of us painted a guy's '49 Chevy with bituminous septic tank paint using a broom. He was not impressed.

college roommate and I painted his 70 buick in black primer with a roller in the Tech Building parking lot in about an hour. Then the hardtop was sawzalled off and a bat symbal went on each of the 2 doors and voila, instant batmobile.

I remember seeing this a while ago... I've been tempted to try it myself for quite some time now.

There was a lot of beautifully finished furniture created a thousand years before the air compressor. All it takes is elbow grease.
