Paint question... Black hood?

[daeron]

my understanding is that with a rustoleum job, you can sand out, and fill in, and polish up any knicks or scratches that come up.

 

Have you read the original thread at the mopar forum that started this whole fad? its run around to every car forum I use now; I can easily dig up the link if you haven't. You can dilute it to spray or dilute it to roll on with high density foam rollers, but in any case the key is using multiple coats of the enamel paint, and sanding in increasingly finer degrees between coats to essentially blend six coats worth of this paint into a shell around the metal; this shell is easily filled back in with new paint in the future.

 

Judging from what I have read (and i've "known" at least a dozen people to get stunning results across the web) this is an ideal paint job for a subaru thats bound to come home with the odd scrape of bruise. Say, once every year you go around and patch in the various knicks; sooner, if the damage warrants it.

 

It really is a fascinating idea that I can't wait to dig into; I am gonna use the rust holes in my car as an excuse to make it my guinea pig.

I don't like it. It's different, but in a police car kinda way.

If you only see one side it does kinda look like the panels have just been replaced.

 

Well I got a new hood. Pretty straight. And it's white.. So, what about a white hood? No, looks kinda :-\ so it's time to get some paint.
