i can tell you from expirence that that system won't work, you matters well just pour paint on your car, it will look better!!! ive used that system to paint a fence, the issues are that the roller design won't lay paint thin enough, the paint will dry too fast, and it regulates paint flow too fast, so you end up with too much paint, good for a fence/house, but NOT good for this application. you NEED to use a high density foam roller with the tremclad/rustoleum, maybe with the brightside paint a brush will do, cause the paint behaves differently, and looks as it self-levels better than the rustoleum/tremclad as MARQ has stated.





Hey Charger, I would have used the gun, not the roller. It says that it has a professional style sprayer. If you look through the site (not sure exactly what page) it will tell you a little about the spray gun.


Edit: Check out the FAQ page. Does the spraygun change your opinion at all




no, it would'nt, infact i played that game too, i just found it worked good for 10 mins, and then started spitting, back to home depot it went, besides the whole point about the roller is the ease, no-mess technique, and once you get the hang of it, it's super easy. inventory of things needed to paint, 1. roller, 2. paint tray, 3. paint, 4. tack cloth, 5. foam brushes, total cost about $20, result = priceless.

honestly, the roller method would be the ONLY way i would ever paint a car again if i were to paint a car myself, keep in mind, i've shot lots of single stage paint in my days, here's a example:



and that car above looks pro. BUT, i was high, batteling dust/dirt/bugs, and it made a huge mess, that's with a compressor and HVLP, duplicolor single stage, midnight metalic blue. my garage floor, walls, tools are a rainbow of colors i've painted over the years, i'm done with shooting paint in my garage, the roller is way too easy, plus i used one and a half gallons to paint that beetle, and 3/4 of a gallon to paint my charger which is 2 times the car!!!!

if your going to spray, use a HVLP gun, much better atomization, keep in mind what these wagner units are ment for, painting a fence, house, ect...not laying a 1 mil thin coat of paint.

here's a more recient pic of my charger, i can't see the difference, can you see the difference? roller it is then
