did you keep up with washing and waxing it? also polishing it occasionally will bring the shine back no problem. Any car will fade if not properly cared for and left out in the elements.
a car is never "done"

I have simple question Help please~
What brand of rustoleum paints are we using? I went to homedepot and I see "regular rustoleum (white can)" and I see "professional high performance " paints.
I asked what brand dries harder? and the person at HD told me "it should be "professional high performance (grey can)" ( he is not 100% sure).
But! On professional high performance brand you can't thin it with "mineral spirits" but can thin it with acetone.
But, on regular rustoleum you can thin it with mineral spirits(only).
So which one is it???
Professional and stops-rust are pretty much the same. Both can be thinned with mineral spirits and I doubt one paint is truly superior to the other. The advantage to the stops-rust paint is that it comes in quarts and professional comes in gallons only. I would go with stops-rust myself simply for this fact, because a contaminated quart of paint is much less harmful than a wasted gallon. Just my

Brightside is a 1 part urethane yacht-paint that can also be rolled like rustoleum. It's a bit more expensive but they say it has better gloss and UV protection and ect.

Just keep goin. With thin layers it takes many coats to get full coverage. What color was it originally? Also, what paint are you using?

Hey, the car was originally a gold color,
And i am using bright side fire red marine paint which my dad had lying around, this is just a test piece.
Would a color such as black require less coats, and show results quicker?
I seem to have roller marks as well, do i need to thin the paint more?
Roller marks are taken out with wetsanding and buffing eventually but thinning more may help reduce them. What temps are to rolling at and what kind of roller are you using?

would adding a white base coat make any difference?
Also I read way back in the thread some people were not putting any thinners in the bright side paint, and were getting full coverage after just 2 coats? any negatives to this?

Not adding any thinner would make the paint apply much more thick and you would probably get a considerable amount more orange peel. Going over a base or primer will let you cover in a fewer coats but your progress looks pretty good. You're using actual turpentine for thinner though? I suggest mineral spirits or thinning fluid from brightside. Also, that seems like a bit much penetrol but I might be wrong. Try a coat without penetrol at all.
