Phizinza Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 LOL ..but you have a spray booth and gun ..dont forget I used spray cans.....You think thats bad, my brother used a paint roller on his 83 wagon :-p Doesn't look to bad really, just a little textured and not shiny... I think I'll do my hood and roof properly, I know a panel beater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll do my hood and roof properly, I know a panel beater. Use rustoleum metal enamel paint, thin it about 50/50 with mineral spirits, use a high density foam roller, and wet sand it well between coats. After 6-8 coats, with proper sanding, you wind up with a mirror gloss finish. One of these days I will do this myself, and I WILL have a full write up here with pictures.

Phizinza Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Well my brothers wagon cost him $250... So two coats with no sanding done his quite alright He done a good job at matching the paint color (he works at the hardware store so he mixed it himself.)

Dad and I, used "Glidden Brand House Paint" on an Old Datsun Pick-up we use to Own... The Result was Nice, but No Shine after a Week or Two...
