Anyone here do a roll on paint job?
I might be getting a strong running truck soon that needs some body work and a paint job. I have to do it cheap but I do not want to sacrifice quality and longevity. While looking for ideas on the interwed I found some videos of people rolling Rustolum on their vehicles. I am quite impressed by the results. But, how well does it hold up? I have seen cheap paint even with proper prep work give out and fade in a short amount of time. Does it hold up to buffing? I would like to have a wet clear coat look when done.

I do understand what you mean but I'd be willing to bet that the pictures hide a world of flaws that you'd see in person and that would **** you off...especially if you want fairly good results. When we do the work ourselves little things that others might not notice are glaringly obvious to us.

I did a brush camo job on a Toyota Corolla that turned into a field car and was finally burnt one drunken weekend. The paint job turned out pretty good for what it was actually...and considering that some of the paint was water based. I bought the car with under 1000 miles and it's final mile was 293K. I got tired of looking at the damn thing and it just wouldn't die.

Some of the roll on paint jobs are actually pretty 'decent' considering you know its a 100 dollar or less paint job. Another method would be the 50/50 rustoleum/ spirits technique in a cheap hvlp gun...still under 100 bucks but much more even, and as previously mentioned, hard work on the prep will earn you a lot in end result. A few people have said the second method holds up through the car wash and everything as long its allowed to properly dry and cure first

My cousin did a roll on. Lives in Hawaii on big island. 94 something ranger rust bucket.
It actually looked very good. Rolling gives a nice thick stipple finish...has a tough body armor feel. And easier to blend than spray or brush.
It works...you just got to live with the stares and laughter.
