    People who have used the roller method

    Can you guys give us an update on how the paint is holding up after years/miles?

    Are you still glad you did it or regret it now that time has passed?

      my buddy painted his e21 roller style a couple years ago. I hadn't heard of it at the time, but he looked into it.. prepped it right and applied as instructed and it looks great.

        Its all in the prep and wet sanding. Extreme amount of labor. Every other layer you have to wetsand the orangepeel away. 1-4 coats litterally look like shit.

          Look at the video from the guy who makes youtube videos about it.

          He uses a hairdryer. Do it like him avoid more of the sanding.

          hire someone to hairdry only.

          the paint itself is very high quality. Thats why it wrinkles so much.
