Okay so I read about these 50 dollar roll on paint job with rustoleum , and I thought why bother rolling it on why not just spray it from a can

So I went out and bought 4 cans of Gloss Black Rust Paint

Sprayed my whole car , wetsanded with only 1000 rubbed and polished

I must say It looks pretty goood except for the areas that I didnt prep properly need to redo those

Ill post pics soon

 

Why not wait till you had the pics to make the thread?

 

just for foreplay haha

 

Thats what i'm doing this weekend...lol

 

BEFORE


AND 30 DOLLARS LATER





And I have only sanded it to 1000 so far I will go all the way up to 2000 and machine buff it , I also have to redo the rear quarters and the roof

 

oh yeah and I know my turn signals are [freak]ed because I dont have the ones to fit the new bumper and yes I painted the bumper too

 

why did you paint it? It looked good before.

 

Got run over by my friends escalade, He bought me the front end but didnt buy me paint, had rust on the rear quarters as u can see... and I decided for him to get me all the 2000 body parts , so i shaved spoiler put all those parts on and the car was rainbow so I decided im broke so I will paint it my self

 

looked real good before, but i guess like you said its the pics that made it look good, either way, good for you

 

no lol that pic is before the accident

 

dude the reason why people bother to roll it on is because it turns out 100x better than spray cans.

 

its the same concept and i am not done yet , you lay the paint , u sand it flat , u make enough layers to make it dark and then make the final layer shiney, same thing can be done with a can just look at my front bumper

 

More pics please (closeups). Looks pretty good!

 

holy **** dude, good luck .

 

ill get some more pics up as soon as i can borrow a camera again

 

bump for a murdered out teg

 

ill post pics tomorow hopefully its sunny ,

 

About what I expected. A couple more coats might do wonders, and some good sanding. More pics of the 'Lude?

 

how much did you really spend because I painted by motorcycle with a spray and it it took about 5 cans worth of color and 5 worth of clear to completely cover the old paint, do the math and thats about (with color matched paint prep into the can), almost 80 dollars for a bike, now for a car, I'd say to do it properly will cost 300 dollars with spray cans. I think you should sand it all off, rent an air compressor and do it properly becausse spray cans do not cover the car evenly not to mention give enough pressure for the paint to sink into the little tiny craters that car bodies have. but at least it shines though.

 

sorry to say it bro...but that really looks like crap.

I would have saved up.

 

spend 30 bux , I already had sand paper lying around , the paint i used is tremclad rust paint, cost 5 bux per can used about 4 cans + tax

 

it doesnt look bad the only reason it looks bad is because of the weather that day, its very shiny looks close to oem when comparing to my dads black accord.

 

that was Duplicolor spray cans. Invest in like 5 more cans, and really even it out. once you add some more paint. 1500. 2000 clay bar buff, wax and i will look much better. those pics had ZERO clear coat

 

Looks pretty good man...
