My 69 Dart was done this way ....twice a year for a decade. I used Safety Yellow....Tremclad.....foam roller...mineral spirits.
I like to duct tape over the rust holes first.

Wow. That picture makes me miss Alaska. Good looking Dart. How did the rust holes hold up? |

Hey Sandy, why so often? If it only holds up well enough to last 6 months it loses its appeal for me. I thought this would be a good, cheap, quick, easy way to paint the GodsRods Duster race car and have the kids be involved in the painting, but maybe not....

It was painted twice a year because I needed to tape over rust holes twice a year. The paint does fade a little ....and its easier to reroll than to rub it out. I bet there was 3 gallons of paint on that car. Better roller painted than multicoloured when it comes to the DoT!

I painted my steel rims over the summer with the semi-flat black. I used a brush and have brush lines, but I didn't use the mineral sprites to thin the paint. The paint is really to thick without the thinning. Years ago I used the red oxide heavy rust printer as the base priner on a car. It worked just fine when I sprayed regular auto paint over it. |

I tried his method over the weekend on a spare trunk lid I had lying around. I did way less than the required prep. It had cracked old enamel on it I lightly scuffed it and wiped it off with an old tee shirt. Applied the paint in a few coats with no sanding between them. I let it dry overnight saturday and sanded and polished it sunday afternoon. It looks amazingly good all things considered. I even tried the chip test and the only place it would chip is when the paint underneath would chip also. It looks like I've found the cheapo 1 panel at a time paint method for my v100. |

You know I'm going to try and paint my pick-em-up this way. I would like to go with a flat black for 2 reasons; 1) because of the dings in the body and 2) I not have to worry about the scratches so bad. I want to put a protectant over the paint. Wouldn't clear make the flat glossy, if so, what can I cover the flat black with? Thanks |

Wouldn't that be a little too thick with the additive and all? I know some of the bed liner sprays use recycled rubber.

You can get satin clear coat, or satan, as we call it in the business. I was thinking about the satin over a flat black, also. I thought it would be fun to hit the clearcoat with a textured roller, to go for the carbon fiber look.

Or you could take that notion to an extreme and cover the whole car with truck bedliner material, like this guy did to his Audi A4.  (Actually not such a bad idea for a super-tough finish...) |
