Heh. Babydoll's owner has been touching up the paint with Rustoleum white (my idea)... the shade is just about a perfect match.

The original thread is here... http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showfl...part=1&vc=1

If you have about 10 hours of free time it's an interesting read.

It's awesome...I'm going to try it when my rust repairs are done.

69chargeryeehaa is the guy who invented this method. Just skip to his posts to get the gist of the technique.

I read the entire thread on moparts last year. There was a point when the 69charger guy said "paint right over bare metal."

Then several pages later he said "okay, prime first if you are totally bare."

I seriously think about this as a paint option. But as my car is totally bare, I'll be needing a compresor and a gun anyhow for primer. I'm torn on it. I don't know how well it will work on some of the tight curves on a teener using a hard foam roller. I also don't want to have spent all winter prepping my tub to have to sand off a lot of rustoleum.

But the CSOB in me really wants to try it.

Maybe I should start testing on any of the chuncks of scrap metal that I have laying around.

Instead of Rustoleum, try POR-15. I think that's the route I'll go. Thin it out, take down to bare metal. It's high-fill, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)

I know that you are joking.
But.
You are not supposed to thin Por-15 more then 10% The rustoleum mix is getting thinned to ~50% as I recall (the consistancy of water).

I beat trekkor to it. I did try this in part. I painted my bumpers and lower portion of the car this way. I needed to repair a front bumper that was damaged taking the car off the trailer at Buttonwillow and the lower valance and front of my rear flares had rock pits and a whole lot of rubber build up from rubber coming off the slicks in turn nine at Willow.

It's a lot of work.

What you don't spend in the cost of the paint you make up for in elbow grease. The job came out really nice. Once the rest of the car is done so I can roll it out into the sun I'll take some pictures and post them.

I used signal red. It is an exact match to the Honda S2000 red used by Honda in 2005. I also took this one step further. I sanded the final roll on coat with 1500 grit sandpaper and then sprayed with a HPLV gun the final coat which came out glassy and smooth. It looks as good or better than the $5,000 single stage honda 2000 red paint job on my Jensen Healey.
Given a choice, next time it will go to a paint shop. As good as it looks there was alot of trial and error and alot of elbow grease. I probably have close to what it would have cost in a shop just in my time. I did it at night over a couple of months but what a pain.
The one thing I can say is that this paint is definitely harder and more chip resistant than a shop paint job would have been. If you research rustoleum industrial paint, which is what this is, it's a farm tractor and implement paint used by several Manufacturers for factory paint on their tractors.
I figure the next time I go agricultural racing and I'm diggin up the desert, the car will feel right at home.

ACE Hardware has a line of paint that is very similar to rust-o-leum with a nice orange shade called "Alice Chalmers Orange", which is probably what I will do my car with.

POR15 wouldn't work because it's sensitive to UV light - so it's supposed to be covered in exterior applications. You could use it as a base coat but I think it would be hard to get a good finish after brushing that on underneath.

That is awesome.

We should do one AT the AR. We could just hang out with beers and watch someone paint their car in front of the pub.
