Are you saying using another roller that does not have any paint on it?
yes I use two one to apply the paint and the other to smooth it out & remove defects bubbles etc. After a little practice it really gets easy.

Well i have it so thin that it ran down my bumper. My bumper is sill on my car. This is gonna be my last coat then i'm gonna try to buff see how it turns out. IF it's almost thin like water wouldn't it run pretty bad?
Sounds like too much paint. Verrrry thin coats.

I just tried this again with rusto pro gloss black. I thinned it about 30% ish. One coat completely covered the base color. Is that normal. I put it on a thin as I could. It laid down pretty well with few bubbles. I will get a pic in the AM.

That's what I remember too. With Rustoleum, as a few have said, it's best to keep the amount of paint thin and don't put much on at a time. I did one coat with black once, and yes it did cover very well with only one coat with no runs and little orange peel.

So to say 69Chargeryeehaa "has got another vw" is to needle him a bit.
Exactly, Just ribbing him a bit. Apartently that was not clear enough.

Nice Job! How many coats did you do in total?
i hear A LOT of talk about how many coats everyone did. IMO - it doesn't really matter, when you wetsand, you're pretty much sanding down most of the coat, when you've finished, you think you have around 8coats but you've pretty much wetsanded most of those coats - in the end, you pretty have 3-4 coats on there total.
everyone will do a different amount of coats, everyone has their own technique. when i was rolling, i did about 7coats on my rear bumper (wetsanding in between each coat) - when i did my final coat, i accidentally chipped a piece of the paint off and it was really thin - nothing like 7 coats.
after doing this, i recommend you do about 3 layers with no wetsanding, then wetsand on your 4th coat, if there's not full coverage, do a couple more layers and try again. all of the orange peel is taken care of on your final wetsand of 1000/1500/2000.

i stole the porsche, and made good $ on the charger, so i have no regrets. I'm really confortable with the VW/Porsche cars, they are so easy to work on, and they're quick and still get 30+mpg.
Air-cooled, rear-engined cars. Gotta love 'em!
Gorgeous vehicle, BTW.

still a little bit confused on that website but i can say one of the funniest things i read was when you mess up on a pannel, curse at it and then saturate the heck out of the remaining paint and it will work
