I'm going to paint my car, the Rustoleum way.

Today I picked up 4 Rustoleum primers and a galleon of Rustoleum flat black paint. I have to back to Honesdale to get some Mineral Spirtes and other supplies.

Today I'm painting the hood with primer. This is the 1st coat.

 

i will keep an eye on this one.....going for a "murdered" blazer huh?

 

I'll hold my judgement until I see the final result lol.

 

This should be interesting. I've seen some pretty good looking Rusto jobs, hopefully this one turns out well too!

 

I'm just repainting it black.

lol, thanks

 

Started on the tailgate. Also did a lot of wet sanding. It's pretty smooth so far.

 

i too have painted a car like this back in the day long ago, but i have to say for 100$ you could get a gallon of PPG primer almost any color and spray it that way too...

 

Huh.. but I don't have an airbrush so that won't help.

Start of the black. Haven't water sanded it yet, once I do it'll look better.

 

I was honestly thinking of doing the same exact thing to my Jimmy. It's scratched to hell not only because it was a city truck, but because I have had too many idiots here (I go to college upstate) key it. I was actually thinking about painting the whole thing in bedliner paint, but I don't really like the black + the texture for this truck. I was thinking something dark metallic blue if I can find spray paint in that color at Walmart. I painted the door handles black with gloss Rustoleum and it looks fine, but I think that I can do better on the whole car. Are you doing this whole thing outside without a garage?

 

Spray painting a car is really hard. I had a heck of a time getting an even coat of primer on the hood. And yes, I am. There's almost no wind so the air was really clean.

But good luck with your car!
