This is a long term update to My use of roll on paint jobs. I first posted on the thread back in May of 2007 and showed pictures of my 1973 Ranchero Squire Cobra Jet that I had painted in early 2007. Now that it has been almost three years since I painted it I thought some people would like to see how it has held up to almost three years of exposure to Mountain weather without the aid of a garage.

As it looked in early 2007 after being pained.



Through 2 Winters

The only noticeable change was to some slight fading of the stain on the top edges of the squire trim molding from the winter snow.
This was easily touched up without even having to remove the trim.

I also had to do a minor touch up on the hood after it was scratched from the protect-o-top bed cover being blown off and over the car during a wind storm. The sanding and repaint were done within 24 hours. Something I would not have been able to do with a conventional spray paint job.

Here is how it looks now almost three years later. Regular polishing and waxing and it is still looking good.
