I just started this yesterday on a friend's car and used rustoleam oil based gloss black paint from home depot, it was like $24 and you need mineral spirits too like $7

I don't think you use clear....and it's pretty glossy!

It actually comes out pretty good!

LOL @ all my neighbors faces watching me paint this car with a roller haha

Could this be put on with a roller and yield the same results as the rustoleum. And wouldn't I need a clear for this?

Has to be sprayed but looks 10x better. Cheap gun can be had for $20. Single stage = no clear.

LOL Not even near the same concept here. You could spray it and walk away and have a better job than you will ever get even after all the hard work and time that goes into the "$50 paint job."

Its better to use a spray gun, you will also need a air compressor. Spraying with a gun is totaly different from a spay can. You will also need to primmer it first, and stick block the primmer with 320 grit sand paper befor spraying the base coat.

Go for it. I admit I was curious enough to try it on a fender I had laying around. I had better results using wal-mart brand spray paint to be honest. Laid down so smooth it wasnt even funny.

I'll post pics tom. of my $50 paint job doing it right now, just one side of the car left, easily done in one weekend. I'm really happy with it so far, I tested the trunk first and cleaned it with degreaser, anything strong, rubbed, buffed, etc. It's strong as is....lol
