Painting My Car (With a Roller)
So i'm doing the cheapo paint job on my cheapo TII.
I'm gonna use the rolling technique to paint it so just want some opinions as I hear the "gloss" never turns out glossy enough.
Just some info I have some flat black painted Mustang GT wheels.

There's only one color that an RX-7 should be painted 'FLAT BLACK' to resemble a stealth fighter jet...

I'd be interested to see how the paint actually turns out with a roller. Its the first i've heard of using a roller to paint a car.
I was just gonna get like 30 spray cans of cheap paint and a few good cans of primer and lots of sand paper. a couple of weekends and it'll look good as. provided the weather is nice

Hot rod magazine did a car about two years ago with a roller then sanded and rubbed it out, More labor intensive but if you have the time you can make it look half decent. Flat black only looks good till the first time it gets dirty. Red

I did this with a roller for the yellow and a brush for the art work.

On the fasttrack!

this is with roll on paint (NOT MY CAR)
so dont tell me that roll on doesnt work. look at it. also, there is a orange charger that is rolled on too. its ******* hot!
only thing with paint is the same, lots of work, but the work and the prep will determine everything.
and dont do flat black spray bomb, it looks like *** and you really dont want to do the prep and paint twice, trust me

edit, found the charger
