Hello everybody! I just read this article today, and after much grief of worrying about spending thousands of $$$$ for a paint job just to sell a car that is worth as much ...I have caved in and am crazy enough to try this out myself ...

Here's what I have purchased so far ...

At HomeDepot:
Paint Tray for $1.97
Bucket for $4.98 (for water)
KleanStrip Mineral Spirits $5.99
KleanStrip Acetone (to clean and dewax) $5.84
Rustoleum Professional Black Glossy 7779 2 total- $15.74
4",2",1" Foam Brush $1.91
1/4" Nap Purdy WhiteDove 9" roller (seems to be better quality) $4.97
Chem Gloves $3.29
HUSKY 2 MIL 9' x 12' Plastic drop cloth $3.29
1 QT paint stir bucket $0.62
24 Terry cloth towels $2.97 (the register rang this up - supposed to be $7.00)
HomeDepot Total: $55.44 w/ taxes included.

At WalMart:
1/4" Nap Paint Rollers (Rubbermaid good quality) $4.88
Tar/Adhesive/Wax remover $6.26
Goop $2.32
WalMart Total: 14.50

So ....already I have spent more than what some others have already spent and don't even have the sandpaper yet ...but I expect to possibly get some from work ...along with some tape ..hopefully ...
I have 4 days off and plan on doing this then ...I'll update my progress within the week.
Somebody wish me some luck along with a total miracle if I end up coming out with as good of a result as what I have seen posted.

Auto Details:
1994 Isuzu Pickup 2.3L 4ZD1, 60k miles - stock everything, but stereo. Live in LV and plan on getting a safer/more economical ride. (Going to make this truck stick out to bring up the selling price and get what it's truly worth)
