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)

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

Roll on paint?  

Do you guys really think that Challenger and Bug look that good?  They look to me like an old enamel paint job that faded and was polished out using Nu-Finish.

Pictures lie a 1000 times over and ALWAYS look better than the real thing.  I think I would go to one of those back-alley shops I see around or MAACO before going to the effort to roll paint on the car, hate it and then have to start over.  

Hell, I have a hard enough time rolling paint on the wall without getting it where it does'nt belong!

Did you open the link and read the 20+ pages of the thread?

Seems like the guy is on to something and others have seen it or done it and agree with him.
