To use the Rustoleum paint you have to thin it way down. There's a guy who did a really nice job on a Corvair with this approach -- should be easy to find on Google. As I recall he would thin the paint down to basically a milk or water consistency, and apply it with a sponge roller. Needed sanding and a lot of coats before it looked good. To make this look good takes a lot of work and time. It only saves money if you don't consider the value of your time. Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL |
