using rattle can anything is the equivilant to wooden connecting rods in your engine.Yeah,made these baby's myself,only problem is i gotta carve a new pair everytime i drive the car .everyone takes big pride in building their engines.why not take as much in your paint?Noth'n like bad ass mopar that looks good too.Save your pennies get a good paint job.Was a body and paint man for 13 yrs.,trust me it's well worth it.

well, i wasnt planning on painting my car, just flat black, but i decided to try it because i have $20 in paint so far! it works pretty good. i used rustoleum regal red. i'm just trying my hood right now. the hood is drying as we speak. i like the paint, but i'm not crazy about the roller idea. i'm gonna do my next coat with a gun. my only suggestion - when you think you have it thin enough, make it thinner!! at least if you're using a roller! i'll get some pictures up soon. all in all, i like it - its a good way to cheaply get some color on a car, but you can tell its not "professional"

here's a picture of the first coat  (the red part) . it looks just as good as the single stage black next to it (that i payed a lot more for!)   i didn't have the hood as straight as i though, so i have to sand it off. when i put it back on, i'll use a spray gun.

ok, i sanded it all down this morning, and i just finished spraying the rustoleum - it goes on nice. I'll get some pics when i'm done with the final coat

for 50.00...i'm very tempted

amen - most of the cost in a paint job is the prep and sanding though

might want to try this stuff......iwant to try it someday myself

I would stay away from that stuff. I have heard nothing but problems using their paint. I myself am I former body man and like the old saying goes you get what you pay for.

If everyone is looking for a cheap paint job then prep the car yourself and take it MAACO. But if your really looking for a decent paint job and not spending an arm and a leg then I would use Dupont's Nason or PPG's Omni. Both relatively cheap compared to others and the quality if very, very good. I have used R-M for quite a few years and really like it but at about $165 or more a gallon it can be quite expensive in the long run.

I will be redoing my Dart and plan on using Dupont's Nason. Prices vary depending on where you buy but here is general idea of what they go for.

dam this must have been barried away....so my coronet is in ugly primer....i already have 45,000$ into her but can't afford a 5,000 paint job...it's funny but even before i read this i tried spraying a fender with  tremclad flat black...with a wet sand etc...and it works awesome......tremclad is the sh##...it's the only paint i have ever used that's so forgiving,of element,rust,etc.....beside's all my profesional painter buddies say the key to a good looking paint job is the wet sand.....so for now i'd rather pay myself 40$ an hour and make the car look a lot more presentable..until i can save up to pay some guy [that dosen't give a crap] to paint my car.......beside's it would be alot better then the orange peel maco paint job...

Saw this over on Moparts, have never heard of it. Some of you guys may have seen it, but it was news to me.

Hey guy's I'm new here ,And I paint !!!! Do yourself a favor along with the painter that will paint your car.Don't use rattle cans.It makes a MESSSSS!!!!!!!!
 I have done this before,  And you don't want to piss off the painter(we make your car)

fifty bucks will get you a cleaned spray gun.

Some of those guys over on Moparts.com are using the Interlux/Brightside paint with some really impresive results. The Brightside is a polyurethane single stage that is used on boats. It costs a few extra bucks and covers a bit faster than the Tremclad/Rustoleom from what I have read. Really cool thread that helped a lot of people renew their interest in projects that would still be collecting dust with no hope of ever being done. http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=2331682&an=0&page=1#Post2331682
Search for Marq. He introduced the Brightside.
