Making the best of Rustoleum

[MattAvino]

Despite his mediocre sanding methods, I like how good this guy can make rustoleum look.

No, it's a common method for people to roll Rustoleum on their car, then spend weeks color sanding it to a shine.

Yep, seen it done a few times.

Takes a VERY long time, but if youve got no cash and time to spare than you can have a very nice looking car for cheap.

Lemons guys paint their cars with Rustoleum. It looks great from 20 feet away at 100mph.

If sanded proper, it looks good from 2' away standing still. Has to be completely stripped to use regular automotive paint again, though.

This was a big thing about 6-7 years ago on an AE-86 site I was a member of.

I had and Old Mark 3 Supra I did this to 5 years ago, It looked great for a 50 paint job just took for ever to get the orange peal out lot's of sanding and buffing.



Only decent PIC I could find, I would never do it again but now I do have access to a paint gun and an air compressor.

I might try it on a spare fender or hood.
