Default Anyone here ever paintroll a car?

Yea, I said it, paintroll a car. I'm highly thinking about doing to my DD beater car. The paint is faded and started to chip off.

After some googling I found some cars that were paint rolled. Here's a random car before and after.





Sooo anyone done it?

P.S Here's a very helpful resource website Home

If you do it right it looks rather good. But if you dont wetsand the heck out of it i think it looks bad, but thats just me.

I would think that it could come out ok, if done properly....
I cant imagine how much wetsanding would need to be done in order to get all the roller marks/roller ripples out

Holy shit that white Corvair is beautifully done! I think I remember seeing that before.

I think if you want to go cheap and effective, your best bet is rattle can. I'd go with Duplicolor. My friend has used it with great results
