Well, after following some 80-odd pages of this thread, I decided to do the deed and paint my chocolate brown metallic 82 280zx turbo Rustoleum Professional Gloss White. Though the weather this past week has sucked down here in Southeast Texas, the job came out better than I could ask for. Easy, you bet. And my total cost for the job was 126.00, but had to buy a new orbital sander included in the price. Two quarts of paint, a gallon of mineral spirits, 6 4" foam rollers,a quart of Bondo, and miscellaneous other items produced one nice looking paint job.Heres a couple of pics...5 days start to finish.

Primered with Spray-on Rustoleum primer

First Coat on hood while still wet

Final, just need to add bumpers. Rocker panels and bumpers are Spray-on Duplicolor Bedliner.


Thanks for all the info!

Mike
