Cheap paintjobs...(Rolled on!)

Ran across this on my Ranger forums... For being rolled on, the paint comes out looking damn good! Just takes some time and effort. I probably wouldn't want to do this to a daily though because I'm sure it's not AS tough as getting it done the "right" way. I'm not sure, haven't looked into this that much since I don't need a paintjob yet .

looks like its very time consuming but if you pay attention to detail would be great, id try it on a project but wouldnt on my eclipse lol, idk maybe in the future when i get a project

it's not a bad idea at all, especially if you use rustolem. The only kicker is you don't get much of a gloss or depth unless you do a lot of cut and buff afterwards.

Yeah the gloss / depth seems to come from wetsanding between every two coats and buffing the hell out of it.. Guess it'd be a good way to build muscle too lol

like i said i might try this when i get my project, i mean hell ill only be out like 30 bucks if it dont work out

if anyone wants to try it i will gladly let you do it to my car lol whats the worst that could happen

well i would look worse, especially since you have to completely sand it down to pretty much nothing before you can start

Normally you wouldn't have to go down to bare metal... Just smooth enough to not have any pits and scratched enough to give the primer something to hang onto.. bodywork would need to be the first thing to be done

and body parts for his car would be pretty cheap

Not if his shell is damaged... That's not so cheap

yea, that wouldnt be but i think i just wants to get the damn thing painted so he can sell it and get a decent amount out of it

I wouldn't have the patience to do something like this. I'll just send mine to the body shop to get worked on. Yes, I'm lazy.

well it may cost more but it looks so much better when the body shop does it, and you dont have to do a single thing

That's what I'd do. I'm not gonna try and paint my own ride. Which I don't plan on leaving it that color anyway so yea.

Im painting my beater as a pratice car. shouldnt be too hard to pull off. Its all in the prep work. Plus the final cut and buff determines the amount of shine that you will have

true, are you going to use the rolling technique?
