Ya know guys I have to back up a step and say I did in fact roller a vehicle. Well part of one any way.  

Mom's 1994 dark green Voyager van had such a bad case of sun-burned peeling paint on the roof that I decided to do something about it last year on my visit to Floridq. I only had a few hours and no serious tools, so I sanded the roof pretty much down to metal (some primer left), bought a gallon of white rustolem and a couple of lint free rollers, taped it off at the drip rails, windshields (front and back) and layed down two coats.  Turned out nice. At least 50 times better than what was left of the peeling old paint anyway. I didn't bother with any pictures at the time, but the neighbors were impressed. I'm visiting again next week. Maybe I'll post a pic from FLA if I get a chance.


Hey Underdog, not sure but I think mom's neighbor in FLA might have your old dune buggy. 'Cause it looks almost exactly like this one. That model very common? Don't see many on the net any way.

Yes we want pictures of the roller job Wink
That is a common dune buggy body I had a yellow one back late 70's early 80's. Took it to Cape Cod, MA one summer on the dunes and off road thru the woods jumping it here in CT. Did not handle too good in the rain, too light up front LOL but was a lot of fun. I also had a top but first road test it blew off so it never went back on.
