Hmmm maybe I'll do that with the Erebuni kit and install it myself. I'm thinking of just selling it off... don't have the time to install at a shop :|

VERY interesting.... prep is for sure the most important thing, but for the cost of materials and his effort, those cars looked awesome.
I don't know if I would try it on my car, but it was impressive!

with a roller then followed it with a fine brush, came out looking like it had been sprayed on.

Part of the trick was the paint had a lot of self leveling additives.

I dont need to paint my car, but i might try that on a piece of metal just for fun!

[fkong777]

Wow. Reading a few page of that it seems to really make sense.. I dont have a beater to try it on but now I'm not afraid to pickup a beater if a good deal comes by.

Can you say.. Drift car project ?!!!!

im thinking of doing this for my bmw motorcycle, Its a project and I sprayed the frame myself but would like to try this for the tank and other painted pieces.

Rustoleum!? Hahaha... cool! Now I am wondering if they have metallic color...

[Bimmer Nut Ed]

I think it's a great idea. No stincky mess, no waste. Not that I'd actually do it, but if I ever have the need, I'll certainly think about it.

i have seen it done, realy don't know what paint it was ,but was white. i talked to the guy doing it while he was at it and i thought it whould just come out nasty. but when i saw the car (french ****-box) after a couple days i was amaised at the quality.

I've done a Stratocaster guitar and a Les Paul guitar that way, but a car is a lot of real estate to wet sand by hand.

you can get 1000, 1500 and 2000 grit for a DA sander, did it on my truck turned 3 hours into 20 minutes.

Jeff, I think this is the stuff they are talking about, not your page. This is for metals:

A sander would exceed the $50 budget lol

This settles it, I'm going to do that 2002 track car project. Have just the beater as the base. Won't need all thos "n" coats though.
