LOOOOONG thread but very interesting read! I think this would be perfect for someone on a very tight budget that has the time to put the sweat equity into it. Also, for race cars owners that don't want to have to worry about there paint jobs!

Yeah, Andrew, I think your GTO is ready for a new paint job.

I have been reading and reading and reading the thread, but have yet to find the American equivalent to Tremclad. I know its Rustoleum, but which line of paint??...

[Project69]

After hours upon hours of reading The Rust-Oleum Stop Rust is the same as Tremclad, There both Alkyd oil based... But you need to Buy some Mineral Spirits to thin the paint out

That being said im off to a hardware shop to do some shopping

[SicMonte]

hmmm......that sounds easy and fun. and when someone asks who did the paint...you have an awesome story to tell them!!!

Without clicking the link, I'm betting its the roller paint guy with the orange charger and white corvair huh? The results are shocking.

Correct and he has painted several VW Beetles.

I wonder how well this stuff holds up against brake fluid?

Anyone care to point out pages with pictures? I know the general idea of it, but when I first stumbled into it there were about 1/4 of the pages there are now. 43 pages? Sheesh! They need an index, or table of contents or something..

Make sure you have a video camera rolling when you roll the car out of the garage all shiny so that you can record when they see the results!

Speaking of, what ever happened to the ol' mazda? Post smashy rebuild with a $50 paint job?

[MuscleRodz]

At the very end he wonders about the long term durability. Well, I will tell you my neighbor who builds wrought iron gates won't use it because it dies out inside a year. Why go to all that work and cheap out on the paint? You could buy good paint and roll it on, get the same results with the same amount of work, and would last for years?
