local hardware store should have a measuring cup with like those lines on it. say count 10 lines, pour paint up to line 6 and ms up to line 4, thats a 60/40 mixture..

or get a cup and use a measuring tape to make lines and do same as above^. you really dont need too much paint to do this. i used 2 qts on my car doing the roll on and 1 qt when spraying.

So do you suggest I start over like sanding everything down again? What grit paper should I use to sand it down? Not much of a body work guy.

My_EFsedan · 09-02-2009, 02:22 AM

220 wetsand if the orange peel is bad bad..but 320 (its called wet-or-dry) wetsand should work and start from there again..

Love the thread. I was curious about one thing. I know you don't use clear of any sort just wondering. I seen somewhere along the line saying that auto paint will react with the rustoleum. If you were to clear this after it's all buffed up shiney with Auto paint clear will it work or no?

My_EFsedan · 11-03-2009, 11:29 PM

bubbleback, i have not tried it on my finished surface..i have some automotive clear, maybe ill give it a shot on a spare fender i painted..
