Here's one that I did recently. It's 85% roller, 15% brush. My favorite color combo too, and a real hot rod.

I did my truck 3 yrs ago and what wasn;t replaced with better sheet metal last year still looks as good as it did then.

Man, don't use Rustoleum. I don't know why people are still using it when the shine from the boat paint (e.g. Brightside) is so much better.
Here is some video. Around 1:05 you can see the outside. It looks just like a normal to nice car, not "dive into the paint" great, but not bad at all..

Isn't it a law that all satin black cars in CA must be for drifting only?
I swear if I made my own black paint I would call it drift black.....the name alone would sell thousands of cans.....

A guy on jeepforums.com just painted his Jeep Wrangler with a roller and can of Rustoleum (http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=560064). He rolled on 8 coats of paint and sanded between every 2nd coat of paint. It looks real good in the pictures.

we have been working on my Macho PW and we could not get the right look on the matte black for the thing. We got a quart of rustoleum satin black cut it with some acetone and sprayed it on. Perfect...ok not perfect but close..
No pics yet. we did the hood today. I will grab some this weekend.

Worked okay with Rustoleum satin black, mineral spirits and rollers on the '55 Buick.

That's an example of the questionable shine I was talking about. But it does look like a nice clean job, and if he plans on scratching it up on a trail, Rustoleum makes sense since touchups will be very cheap and easy.

looks great. what brightside color is that, and how close does it match up with the factory EW1 white? (my duster is EW1 spinnaker white, and needs some bodywork done)

It's Hatteras white. There are 2 versions of that color, but I think this is the more popular one. My Dart was originally "cream" colored, and the trunk is kinda close to the Hatteras white. Not if you look close, but it's close enough not to look completely different.

I had one of those "Everything That Can Fail will Fail" evenings last night.
I taped off the car, then the paint mixture wasn't right, and when I finally got the mixture right the gun started acting funny and then my air compressor died.
Car is still taped off in my garage, maybe some pictures sometime this weekend. I might try rolling it, seeing as my air compressor crapped out.

That's a sign from above to roll it. I've tried both, and didn't like spraying.. too stressful and I ended up with more orange peel than when I rolled it, much more sanding required.
