Re: Painting my 69' GMC this weekend -Rustolium style
[QUOTE=rstewart09;4330932]Not real good pictures but mine was painted with a roller and rustolium 2 years ago. It has sat in the garage most of the time since then as it still has a few things to finish on it and life gets in the way sometimes. In these pictures it hadn't been wet sanded and buffed yet. It has as good a shine as any single stage paint I see. I have had many people see this truck and swear I am lying to them when I tell them how it was painted. Its not perfect or show quality but I could take it to any cruise in and not be ashamed of it and no one would guess how it was painted. It is a lot of work but the price is right. I used 2 quarts of royal blue and a quart of white. You need to thin the paint well and put it on thin by working the barely wet roller over an area till its smooth. If applied right there is very little orange peel and that leads to less sanding between every 2 coats. This is more work than spraying but if you don't have a compressor and gun and no where to spray then this can be done in the drive way cheap with good results.
What color is that blue? I've been trying to nail down a color.
