Searched some and don't see it here, so if it is please correct me and link -
A Corvair enthusiast and others are using a new/old school method of painting with Rustoleum, hard foam rollers and multiple sandings. It seems the total outlay is in the $50 dollar range, and from the slick looks (someone posted a really nice orange Roadrunner with 5 year old job) it seems a no brainer for the cash flow challenged.
As it will take months for me to finish, I was hoping someone else had done this here and had a writeup.
It seems its a no primer job that requires the same amount of body prepwork (there's no free lunch) thinning the enamel with mineral spirits, rolling it out, sanding between coats (like any good custom job) and enjoying seriously nice shiny paint - without popping for the $450 compressor, etc. to do it yourself. Its really that simple, if you like hand sanding 6-8 coats - but you could also figure each sanded coat is $500 off a pro job. Talk about sweat equity.
For a trailer park camo (clear coat popping) 90 XJ, I'm in.
