Thats absolutly insane, there is no way in hell i would have believed that was done with rollers.
Two thumbs up for effort!

google rustoleum paint job or $70 paint job there are allot of people who have done it.

By the way outstanding effort, I recently put 6 months into my paint job and know the effort you put into it, your car turned out very sexy.

just one more thing, a car can also be painted with a brush, if you get the can of paint and place it with the lid off into a shallow pool of boiling water and slow boil the paint, though I wouldnt be game to try it with two pack but ive seen a few cars turn out mirror finish this way, much the same as mirror finish woodwork in a house painted by a real painter.

Thanks mate!
Yeah rustoleum started it all. I read all the posts on the Mopar forums where it was first posted. Check here (part 1), here (part 2) and here (part 3) for the Mopar threads about this kind of method.

I've also heard of people using this thinned down paint method and using the foam brushes instad of rollers. I kinda did this with my door jams as the roller couldn't fit into most of the nooks etc.

the good thing about this is any joe blow can do it if they are willing to put the effort into the prep, it will turn out good.

Spraying is like the prep has to be just as good,a nd the spraying is also crucial, paint to dry and its stuffed, paint to thin it sags and runs, forget pack B on the clear coat, burn car for insurance.

Absolute brilliant job. I thought we'd see a car looking like it's been painted with Dulux Wash and Wear.

This is the epitome of awesome.
