Some more pics lastest update

Yeah, the stripe is going to go across the fender. Here are some halfway assembled pics, only so I can measure up my fender (not even polished yet), so I know where to cast my stripes down.





As you can see from my fender, i'm shaving my side moldings

Wow! I take back anything negative I might have said about this project. it looks great!

How many hours do you have into the hood/trunk alone?

[rede30]

Do you expect this to last just as long as any other paint job? I am not saying that in a negitive way i am just wondering how strong the paint will be?

rustoleum is tough isht. it will last longer than a standard base/clear paintjob. It might fade after a while, but you can just polish it right back up.

Rustoleum is what I use on my landscaping stuff.....like the truck beds that see rock and gravel dumped in it almost daily.....its VERY tough paint. Rustoleum is like a rock when it dries. Very good adhesion properties, too.

Couple things:


You're right, it is a minor dent that i may have overlooked. Fuck...

Hours on the hood trunk alone: with bodywork/paint/polish/waxing: maybe about 15 hours total of nonsto work. Obviously i coldn't do nonstop though

I hear rustoleum is tough shit.. but if it does fade over time, i have enough coats to just polish it up again. It will get rid of any swirl marks and it will look like new again. I put extra coats on the front of the car for stone chips, but i doubt that it will protect it that much better.

to everybody that was hating on the project

would you have been able to tell this man rollered the paint on if he didnt tell you.....?

[featuring france]

my god. dood, this project is turning out sick. I barely finished my trunk, and I barely finished prepping my hood. I wish I had enough time to work on her. when i finish...we'll be one of the few with roller painted e30s. hahah. did u buff ur hood, trunk and fenders yet?

Damn. This is awesome. I remember one guy over on Bfc that did this to his old vw. i think yours looks a little better.

Im impressed!

[BoostedGT]

Wow, good job!

How long does the paint take to dry after each coat?
