Hey Guys.

Check out the following links. The first one is a forum about cheep paint jobs and a guy that painted his car with Tremclad (Rust-oleum in US) and high density foam rollers. cost him $50. (There are over 2- pages on this topic)

http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showfl...=0&fpart=1&vc=1

The following link are some better photos of his charger and a Beetle he painted the same way in 2000.

The "trick", of course, is perfect surface prep, and hour after hour of color sanding.

That's pretty amazing..... I've rolled a primer filler on before. They even make a special roller for it.

Pretty cool! Theoretically, you can wetsand and polish anything and it will become high gloss, even rocks!

This is what I use on my wheel wells and undercarriage. I painted my lift with it also Rustoleum is amazing stuff and you can buy it at the Home Depot or any hardware store.
I was talking to my body shop buddies about it and he agreed that its one of the toughest paints out there.
Compounding is the secret to a perfect paint job, color sanding and buffing is the whole thing.

The local boat painters in the marina used to paint cars with marine enamal; one would roll it on , the other brush it out. Impossible to tell it wasn't sprayed !

That paint thread from 69chargeryeehaa is a great read. It reminds me of the restoration thread that McMark posted about the Toyota LandCruiser. Tough not to read the entire thread even though it is a mile long.

Key is how close Sunburst Yellow 7747 actual comes to L11D, L11E, or L13K.

andyrew, this might be too old school for you but have you ever heard of "Deep Purple" the band? hint: song "Smoke on the Water" every 70's boy who picked up the guitar learned those riffs.. LOL.

This whole thing is a great read, its good to see someone try out the technique and then post the results and commentry.

For about $5 you can go the Home Depot etc and pick up a spray can of the Sunburst Yellow and compare it to L11D, L11E, or L13K. If it doesn't match, paint your shocks.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Here's my rustoleum paint job that cost me $30. I even tried color sanding and buffing a spot to see how it would look. It turned out pretty good. It's been over a year and a half and it still looks good. Bought a gallon from Wal-Mart and I think some Thinner or was it Acetone? I can't remember now.

Another possibility is tractor paint. I can get it around here in the midwest at Tractor Supply for less than $25 a gallon. Its an enamel and they also sell a hardner.

Tractor and Implement Paint


Gallons, quarts, and spray cans; 25 colors. Safety Yellow looks like a school bus, but John Deere green is kinda nice!

Yeah, that Rustoleum is good stuff. A few years back I prepped and painted a tub in about a day or so for maybe $10.
