Please, don't get me wrong. I'm intrigued by the roller paintjobs, as they look GREAT.
IMHO if you take the time to get your paint from the same lot# a rattlecan paintjob CAN be decent. Like the roller paint, it's far from show-quality, but presentable for a D/D. The key is techinque, and the wetsanding between coats. The final polish needs to wait at least a month for the paint to cure fully. Then a buffer & compund will take out all the overspray, evening up the surface. Either method, can, or roller, requires a LOT of elbow grease, for a decent appearance. But for the $$$ neither is a bad way to go on a low buck resto. Thanks to Kingbobdole for the pics of his "CheeseWedge" From a thread on www.subaruxt.com. the $64 paintjob Thread: http://subaruxt.com/forum/viewtopic....ht=spray+paint

I think the roller approach will net better results with a little more effort....but you hardly have do any taping off...and no worring about overspray..... I wouldn't try it on a nice car...but on a beater...sure

I think my 86 F150 qualifies as a beater and trust me it would look better than what its got right now Farm truck for almost 20 years so you get the idea of what shape its in.
