i need a guide and tips on a diy paint job roll on. i bought 3 qt. of rustoleum protective enamel ( oil based ) 2 cans of rustoleum enamel. and one quart of mineral spirits. and high density rollers. is there anything else i should buy. which sandpaper should i buy . does the paint need to be mixed with anything? what is the mineral spirits for?

 

Unfortunately I will not be able to guide you in the right direction regarding your question, reason being that I don't know anything about the 50 dollar paint job, and don't want to know anything about it. In my personal opinion, the 50 dollar paint job is a bad idea. The reason I am posting a response, is to recommend an alternative. There is a search feature on this forum, located in the upper middle portion of this website. Using it's functionality will yield desired results:

thanks alot. im only doing the 50 dollar paint job because im getting rid of it soon

 

what is the mineral spirits for? how would i use it?

 

use them to wipe off dust/grease.before u apply fresh paint.

 

it basically thins the paint to not make it as thick as it was.

 

do you mix mineral spirits with paint?

 

Yes...
