I used 10 cans of paint from walmart to paint an 82 Westy I picked up for my son. I could not get it in the paint shop till after Christmas and want to surprise my son with the bus for Christmas. I plan on a proper paint job in a couple years or so. I was so impressed with how it came out I plan on painting my AWD Safari with cans and my Adventurewagen too. I used semi gloss but will use gloss next time. I saved thousands with rubber being one of the thousands. Did it in my driveway.Not perfect but pretty nice at a distance or at night and much better than what was left after 32 years. Pat in SC just South :of Charlotte NC |
