Ok, I've been reading and I have a few questions about the infamous $50 paint job.


1. When spraying, I've read that you lay the coats right after each other. But when rolling, you have to wait hours between each coats. Why is that?

2. I've read that the paint stinks and you can smell it months afterward. True or false?

3. What size compressor would some of you recommend? I know better is better and CFM is the most important rating but how much higher should it be over the gun requirement?

4. After a few months or so, has anyone pressure washed their car?

5. Has anyone tried mixing a pearl, or flakes with the rusto paint? I know it's supposedly too thick but has anyone tried it anyway?

 

No one?

 

Well when rolling on paint its going to be a lot thicker and takes a lot longer to cure.

Paint does have an odor to it, mine doesnt stink and been only a month since i painted it.

Not sure what size compressor you should use, i used a 20 gallon and in worked fine for me.

I dont see why you would feel the need to pressure wash your car, i always wash by hand.

 

Thanks. I figured the first was because of the application process.

And it's just easier for me to take it to the car wash.
