rolling paint jobs?

Frank, have you seen the white? It is a true whit, kind of stark. That is what we are going with. All black trim on a white car. It will be a different look, that's for sure!

Yeah, i got rid of all my body panels and valences (I replaced the front lip spoiler with a stock 'i' lip spoiler) and keeping all of the bumper trim black, I think it's very feasible. Just do the body work and sanding. Prepping is where it's at. I think I can take this...I really do.
Not to mention, I think that white and chrome look pretty good.

A friend of mine recently did his 240 with that process :



HERES his thread on Bf.c of how he did it .

Mask extra good, that super thinned paint rolled on seeps through masking tape easy.

Thanx guys. That car looks pretty damn good!

I may have to try this on my hood, it is peeling bad. Plus i would like to have a black hood.

:curse:

I'll let it slide so long as it's flat black if you can tell me the purpose of a flat black hood. ;)

Less glare, and looks cool on some cars.

I think it looks terrible on most cars, the E46s can pull it off okay, but i haven't seen an e30 pull it off. But yup, an old racer's thing to keep glare out of their eyes, they paint the tops of the fenders too. Atleast it works on an e30 though, you can't even see the hood on a Honda. :P

rwdrift has a black hood. but his roof and trunk are black also. I think it looks good.

[Garageaholic]

Yeah, Are there any more pictures of a Black roof on an E30?

So, What about having a clear coat on top of the rustoleum color? Kinda like using the same process, but with a clear coat, same application, and sanding and buffing.

Any ideas?

^^^ thats the first thing i thought of when someone mentioned the lack of "depth" to the paint. i may do this since i have bad paint fade on my hood, roof, and trunk, and a brilliantrot fender on my hellrot car.........
