Has anyone painted their car with rollers
Sorry for the lack of pics! my normal camera man (brother) was at a baseball game, and my phone was too dead to take pics. So, once again, you get the moist, morning after shot ;)
This coat is ALOT better than the last. Thin coats, once more, seem to be the key. It also seems to be important to keep an eye on the paint, and to keep working it with the roller (very lightly) until it's completely smooth. It's not shiny by any means, but it's much smoother than the last coat was. I dry sanded with 800 between coats and learned very quickly why wet-sanding is the better option.
Wet sanding with 1200 today, then, will make the decision about whether to apply the last layer with rollers, or a spray gun. We have both. Just trying to decide. Also, I will then go around all the "hard to reach" areas with a can, if I roll it. Overall, I think it's looking ok (all things considered). It's not bad. But not gorgeous yet either. I don't doubt that it's possible to roll a car and have it look pro. I'm just saying it's not as easy as the article made it sound ^^ Which is fine. I do love a challenge.
