Judging a paint job by a pic might as well have this guy paint it too.

Love the Ray Charles photo. RA3, I don't think this the Home Depot crowd here. I think (think) being the key word, This Forum is out to save these cars best we or they can. Really if you can't do the correctly and you can protect the required areas needing attention till later, Drive it like it is and Please do not think about roller painting any car. Do so trading and help someone out to get a favor to the one that can at least spray the car. I have painted many a car in a driveway and barn and garage exposed to the weather. Never ever rolled one and glad I did not. I would rather deal with a run in the paint than a roller job. My personal opinion and nothing more.

I'm gonna be in the minority here I think.....
I've not done a car, but I've done roller on a couple of small boats and even wooden furniture. *IF you use the right paint/mix, use high quality/lint free rollers, do the work to make every coat awesome, use serveral coats, and really buff shine the last coat, it can look great. BUT.... all that extra work is a lot harder and far more time consuming. Seriously weigh your cost in time, energy and patients in comparison to they relative ease of a decent spary. Good luck either way. Edited by PlazinJavelin - May/03/2011 at 7:27pm |

I'm going to do a roller paintjob just to make a couple posters in this thread lose an hour of sleep.

Three or four years ago, one of the magazines did a Falcon using the roller method. They use Rust-O-Leum which was a great selection since thier canvas white enamel is an exact match for the Ford Wimbeldon/Coronbthian white. (My '63 Falcon was that color and I touched it up with the Rust-O-Leum and you couldn't tell where I had touched it up). The final cost was just over $100.00 and it came out OK. If I recall correctly, they did six or seven coats. I wouldn't recommend it for a show car but a knock around beater, why not?
Later!

Infusino's? I like the gnocchi, but they have a nice ham sandwich on a pretzel roll (I order Swiss cheese). |
