how thin would it. same as rolling or thicker

thin it to about 25% mineralspirits to spray, with a HVLP gun. presure set at 30-45psi. you could also use acetone, but i found it to flash too quick.

but wait when u thin it that much u spray one coat on like a mist...then u gotta wait for that to dry and then u gotta clean ur paint gun out otherwise it will clog and all that then the next day spray again then wetsand then clean gun out and then over and over again...to be honest cleaning out the gun is a paint in the [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean]. i would like to spray it too but i havent had any luck as of yet to the method...plus i get unpatient and then spray another coat before the first one dries and it looks all weird with orange peel and stuff.

clean up is very easy. basically the procedure for spraying is: mix about 25% minerial spirits, spray a THIN coat. let dry for 6-8 hours, re-coat, wetsand every 3 coats or so with 1000+, clean the gun with mineral spirits, place your left over paint in a seperate container and re-use it, keep the spirits from cleaning the gun and re-use that too, just spray the mineral spirits thru the gun, and clean the pickup and tip in a jar, let it sit in the jar. it's super easy, but if your going thru all the trouble of spraying, use an automotive paint, although the process is alot harder (ie: spray primer, sand, primer, primer sealer, then color, mix all the reducers/hardners according to humidity and temperature).

How does yours look like up close? Is it as smooth as it looks? Mine is on the fourth coat and there is still a bit of orange peel look going on...im gettin a little worried Yours looks nice and smooth, is it? like any other car? or is there a textured look to it?

Finally got started on the dart paint tonight. The bodywork turned out good! Nothing horribly wrong with it, but there were some long dents here and there (like down the passenger 1/4 panel) and lots of small dings. The color is Rustoleum Pro "safety red". This first coat went on nice and smooth, I saw a run or two develop but just rolled over it a few times. Also saw a few specs of crap in the paint which I just pulled off the surface then rolled over.

It's thin and partially transparent at this point after only 1 coat.

It took me quite awhile, 1.5 hours. I had to re-thin the paint part of the way through. I think now that I have the hang of it I should be able to do future coats in less time.

Here's a couple of pics..

Looks awesome, thats the color i bought for my duster. Its hard to see but how is the actual paint laying out. Is it going down flat? is it a little peely? can you somewhat describe how it looks, from the pictures i've taken of mine it looks better than it really is in the pictures.

Thanks!
