Looks good. Are you going to finish it off with some clear coat?

Nothing wrong with doing it with a roller since you're going to wet sand the orange peel off. Two coats with a roller would be thicker than 5-6 coats sprayed on.

no on the clear coat Redwalsh it actualy self levels and im useing a hardner the paint i have is rustoleum and it has a really deep gloss and looks really well if u take the time to sand out the peal like eagle stated

lol i could paint my whole car for around 50 bux for the paint,rollers,sandpaper,thiner paper towels well lets make it 60 cause i think id want some beer

hehe.

Hey, that's not too bad! My whole car needs repainting...maybe I'll do it that way (different color, though). Especially if it's only $50.

My boys want to do the Mach 5 look when we do it....roller paint base color, maybe spray on the details...

yeah im actualy almost done with it for the last 2 coats im going to hit it with a hvlp so its even but its looking good! as you can see i need a new hood
