Has anyone painted their car with rollers

Lol I drive my swinger every day and beat the living **** out of it (and love every second of it). How about you you? Ask anyone who has meet me if you need proof.

I just know that I can do better and because I actually care I want to do better, hence why I am taking the time and doing it right on my Super Coupe. A trailer queen is one thing, something that has a lasting durable paint job is another..... (Guess what your 10 coats of clear may look great at the car show but it's quick to chip on the road......)

To the OP, Please paint your car and drive it, thats what they were designed for, just know any enamel paint isn't going to hold up to the weather like a urethane will and if it's maintained IE waxed or kept inside it will last considerably longer.

My crappy looking daily driver. See pics are deceiving.

Sorry, don't need proof, just from your previous post about not taking it to car shows and such I thought (assumed...my bad) that the "flaws" bothered you to the point of leaving it in the garage. I think it's pretty awesome how FABO has so many people who literally have "daily drivers." Admittedly, I don't drive my enough, but part of the problem is I have too many vehicles and with Michigan weather being so unpredictable I'd rather not trust my drum brakes in a downpour or have to hope that I don't break down because of some 40 year old part wearing out. I try to drive them on leisurely days and enjoy good weather.

I've thought about getting a crappy winter beater type of car to just try the "roll on" method with, but just haven't had the time. I wouldn't try it with a vehicle I care about, but am fortunate to have gotten some pretty good looking vehicles.

P.S. Your Swinger looks pretty good in the picture, even if it's deceiving. You can be proud of the paint because you did it yourself which is better then 90% of the rest of us. :)
