Funny you shouold mention the rolled on paint job. I saw a topic on some forum once where a guy did a roller paint job in his driveway on some old sorta-muscle car and it came out pretty nicely. It was a glassy finish with no streaks or stripes... I do not like the flat black paint job though, just looks cheap to me. But to each his own I guess.

Tremclad is basically car paint...it's just 100% acyrlic vs. acrylic color with a urathane or other hardener...Hoodzy wrote:cars are meant to be painted with CAR paint and clear coat so yah no other way around i'm afraid its kinda law of the world
I spray bomb'd my rear bumper with Crappy-tire motomaster automotive paint and clear coat and then sanded and buffed it...
It looks pretty damn good besides all the carbon in it from my old 1.6l...
If you want a flat black car, buy single-stage black paint with flatner...

It cost me 80 dllrs material wise to paint my car :/ I dont see why you want to paint your car like that? basic Blue costed me around 45, pearl was like 5 dllrs - 7 a spoon (used only one.. yeah one ) The clear was like 20. The rest was in sandpaper and cleaning supplies. I already had the gun and compressor.
Since my uncle helped and hes a pro.. i oayed him 200 tho.

4 small cans right? In the original post - found here http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/sho ... art=1&vc=1 - it is instructed to thin the paint 4 to 1 (or more) with mineral spirits. The charger was painted like 5 times with less than one gallon of paint. If proper prep and time are taken it is a great way to paint a daily driven car. You can clear over it, but all it really needs is buffed.92blackmx3 wrote:i did my whole car flat black i used 4 cans of tremclad but if you wanna be safe get a couple more i sanded it down first just a little bit to rough it up.
