Just rollered the roof of my T25 prior to fitting a Devon roof, easy job, used Rust-oleum gloss white,didnt thin down but if you do it is VERY important to use a mineral based thinner. Keep roller loaded and to finish just roll with just the weight of the roller to eliminate any air bubbles. :)

Despite being a fan of painting with a roller, to do this job in almost direct sunlight is a dumb idea... it's almost a shot in your own foot!

I just started my rustoleum car today. Lots of orange peel, but I'll be sanding that out before applying another coat. Seems like it's going to be a pretty decent paint job. Definitely much better than before, looked like it had skin cancer. Cheers. Nice job by the way nice and white.

O.K, I see your point , I am assuming you are using an automotive quality enamel?

[jackboxx]

Please see the link under 'more info' as this explains everything. Cheers.

[Vstar4me]

Wouldnt it make sense to put enough coats to then sand to smooth finish? Just a thought.

[jackboxx]

No - much harder work if you do that. It might sound logical but you'll end up losing at least two two layers in the flatting back if you apply too much whereas light flatting between coats helps maintain a level finish without taking off too much.

Ok, everyone to his own way of doing things, i think however its best to mask a vehicle up before painting (even small bits) with a good extractor fan and mask there are no issues. i suppose using a roller is good say if you are on a camp site with time to kill and just fancy doing a bit to your camper. I think i´ll stick to my trusty garage and excellent finish with my equipment.

[nobogroll]

am thinkin of painting my mrs lol

[PRHM1]

Thanks for this fellas - had read about this on a forum and made copious notes, it's excellent to see the technique in action - I may give it a go on my maroon T25 soon.

[bratattack5]

If it works for you then excellent. Less masking too. Why are people so negative about this??

[41special]

Nice! I'm going to post my 1983 ford van when I paint it!

[lordofwar1982]

Cool

Ive been reading up on this method for the last 2 years and now have a vehicle to try it out on.ive got a 1975 commer camper to repaint

[herbienbrian]

I think I'm going to do this with my bug :)

[poiutsih]

Thank you for posting this and for the web links. Thinking of re-painting my VW T25 when the weather improves. I was thinking of paying for it to be sprayed, but after seeing this I might give rolling a go!

[JSR2127]

Nice, I have one on my channel!!!!

[dogfisheyes]

i was so impressed with this video,i decided to roller paint my new aston martin vantage,its full of runs,flies and missed patches,but i think it looks fab,the main dealer told me its now worth about 250 quid,(the idiot)

[birdman8o8]

check out my vid of my rustoleum car paint job

[JOGAFUTEBOL]

you guys should just spray it thats what i do with my rustoleum paint jobs comes out mirror finish.

[jackboxx]

Sure - spraying IS always a better finish but this is for those without a sprayer who don't want mess and having to use twice as much paint. You also get to drive it away within two hours.

[darkeneddreams]

Whats the biggest roller brush size you can get.. ?

[jackboxx]

The small standard ones are more than big enough.

[darkeneddreams]

How long does it take to paint? Looks like an awful lot of rolling! And how on earth do you paint intricate areas?

[jackboxx]

Put it this way, you can do one side of the van in under ten minutes :)

[jackboxx]

It IS Rustoleum - read video description.

[spe279]

The best paint to use is Rust-oleum Combicolor. which you can thin with white sprit. Also don't forget to flat the paint. I would say flat down down after each cost. takes longer but you get a much better finish.

[brokenrealm]

Why dont you just use Santex?

Who make those windows for Vanagon?

[juantheunclean]

Brilliant! What paint exactly, where from, you mention 20-25% - of what, to what? This will save me a packet, cheers.

[jackboxx]

Rustoleum combicolor and white spirit. Please read the instructions at the 80/90 VW site in the WIKI (body section) on painting your wagon for £50. It is as informative as I could make it. Theres also a huge thread explaining how it was done and examples of others that have followed suit. It does NOT look like artex 0 the finish is astounding (grin).

[BOC69er]

If you want to get rid of orange peel, use a mohair roller!

[jackboxx]

lol - pity chickenkoop listening to me waffling on and on....
