Here’s an update. I finished my 69 Bug with Rustoleum in August 2007. It has lived mostly outside since then, and been in daily use. It’s had one wax job, and nothing special as far as care. The paint still looks great, the car gets lots of compliments, and I’m a happy camper. Couple months ago it got swiped on the front fender ( my wife!), so I pulled the fender, straightened it out, 4 coats of paint and it looks terrific.



This is a great way to make your car look decent at a very reasonable cost. You are trading your time for money, but it’s been a good deal for me.
