7 day restoration
I'm no body man /painter by any means . with the help of craigslist finds and some swap meet stuff ,I cobbled together a budget minded build.I did this in my rock drive way in 7 days.
 ,,well i did the engine bay about a month ago,in a day.

Re: 7 day restoration
How did the Rustoleum lay down? Thinking about using it as well. Was the gun a cup gun or HVLP?

Re: 7 day restoration
thats a nice transformation there with cheap and easy touch up.
did you use gloss on the body? how about the primer you used,spray can? from my expieriance rusto takes for ever too dry unless its out in the sun. we used satin black on the kids truck mixed the same way and a $7 hf cup gun. i made the kid spray it he never touched a spray gun in his life and it came out great. very easy lays out nicely. i must say after 5 yrs of being outside its gettin pretty faded and chalky looking since rusto has no uv protection. i'm thinkin i'm gonna do this again on my k.
