For anyone that tried painting their car like this...
I just started painting my hatch with some gloss black Rustoleum Pro. I picked up a 5 pack of "Super Fine" (high density) 4" rollers.
I mixed it with Mineral Spirits until it was just a little thicker than water, and started rolling it on the hood. However, the roller would leave literally hundreds of small bubbles behind with every stroke. I let it sit for a while, and most of the bubbles popped and evened out but there's still a few (still drying right now). I'm not sure if I did something wrong (paint wasn't thin enough, need higher density roller, etc?), or if that's how it's supposed to go on?

 

i have did this on a few cars and i have found out that tracter paint works alot better and its a hell of alot shinnier than the rustoleom paint i have some pics some where of my old 88 civic i did and i did it on my 91 celica ill post some pics of it here soon but theres no way in hell i would do it on my 93 civic becuase u have to wax it all the time because it fades alot after time but if its a beater or just for a cheap paint job then its def. worth it

 

off topic, going from reading through 3 pages of that thread to coming back to HCF is ridiculous the font looks TINY lol

but im probably going to try to re paint my Civic with this method. I dont feel like spending thousands for a new paint job, when i could just do it for 50 and have it come out decent....car payments have been killing me latley. [:@]

anyone else have sucess with black gloss?

 

cant wait to see a picture of a car that is a different color than white. It's not that i dont like white, it is that it is hard to see the shine on it. but both cars look great

 

theres a guy who painted his 69 Charger Orange and it came out pretty damn good. Its the link in the first post in the link on the first page of this thread lol

 

^I'm in the process of painting my eg SI gloss black right now. I'll start a thread with some pics once it's all done and let you guys know how it turns out.

 

siiiick thanks man I appreciate it and good luck!

 

heres some pics of my old celica ,and my old civic that that i painted using this method and these pics where took before wet sanding and buffing
