New rolled on paintjob!

[MrTShoff]

For starters this is what it looked like before






then I got a new bumper and grill.





Now...






The hood is chalkboard by the way


I know there's no up close pics and that's because there's alot of orange peel and i don't know if i'm going to fix it or not yet because i'm not completely sure if I like the color.

Looks pretty damn good to me. You're almost guaranteed alot of orange peel when you roll on paint. Nothing a good scuff and buff can't fix though! Ill be doing my whole car in roll on chalkboard paint as soon as it warms up here.

That's the color I was playing with. I had difficulty getting it to lay properly without streaking. Apparently some Rustoleum colors work better than others for this.
Did you do proper wetsanding? It's going to look like ass until you sand it properly, regardless.

[Dyesuperman]

Doesn't look half bad. Proper wetsanding and buffing need to happen to smooth it out some, but it looks like it laid out uniformly. How much prep work did you do? I kind of liked the original color too haha

[deevergote]

Yeah, the original paint wasn't in bad shape. It's a shame to see that ruined... but I can always appreciate an attempt at a roller job. It never looks perfect, but the idea intrigues me.
Sadly, you'd get better results with $250 at Maaco.

Still the same amount of wetsanding and buffing afterwards though lol

Looks good man.

Liking the new bumper!

if you know a little bit about sanding and also about buffing, you can get pretty good results.

I had no difficulty at all to get it to lay without streaking but i havent done any sanding on it at all yet because i may mix a small amount of black into the paint to darken it some

I just didnt have any close up pics but trust me that paint paint wasnt original nor in good shape lol. There were chips everywhere and some rust spots were starting to develop so i jumped on it before it had a chance to get ugly.

I just did the basic prep work. Sand it until its not glossy then primer over the rust spots to get them covered then i rolled it on. I still never sanded anymore past the first time.

Looks good man.

I appreciate it man! I got from a guy who used to be on here! His old name was 90-jdmcb7. Really cool guy.

[PakaloloHonda]

dear mother of god.

Ohh yaa, from your lips, to God's ears Ralphie!
When Brian does it, it ain't finished, til it's finished.
Major props on that hood (?) Brian!

I had to look twice at that photo to figure it out.
To be honest, I'm still not sure what it is that I'm looking at!

[deevergote]

If there's anyone in the world that could figure out how to polish a turd... it'd be TypeG.

[TypeG]

lol i didn't do that hood, came from google images. been wanting to to a $50 paint job though.

no need to polish a turd. they already come out shiny, lmao. later.
