I just did my 20yr old van. Same paint but quarts. Its oil based. Sand everything 80grit. Wash, wipe down then wipe with acetone (cheap). Tac down before paint. Product called Flood Penetrol add to paint 4oz/qt. Add Acetone 2oz/qt. Thins out the paint. Mix well. 1/4 nap roller. Roll on thin coats working about 5 minutes big stokes up down side to side. Consistency of thick water. Go over once.. Flood additive eventually smooths out roll marks. 24hr dry. Sand with 400grit. Clean and tac. Second coat. 24hr dry, sand or buff 1000grit. No clear coat needed. Big van total cost $200. Buy a 20pk roller skins.. Did it on my driveway. Way easier than spraying. Toss the roller after each use. Tac roller with tape gets the fuzz off. 1 week entire van done smooth.
Talk about keen.... He's even painted the cat !!!! But seriously black exposes the most paint imperfections and obviously white the best.... But hey ! Who wants a white drifter right !!!!
Did my car with rollers in parking lot of mall 😜. During plandemic height...which was good, cuz nobody wanted to approach me. " Guy like that, probably ain't vaxd" came out ok. For first timer. But I really wish they made a roller tapered towards both ends ( kinda like bowling pin...Not just rounded.) So as to not get those edge lines.
Interlux paint a Marine Paint makes a brushing thinner that will help those roller marks flow it keeps them paint wet so I can flow interlux interlux brushing liquid
Another little trick is to take some tape and do your roller with tape first to get the lint off at I think you got a lot of lint in your paint is from the roller I think and then once you get it off with a tape than your roll out some paint on newspaper. You ll have a smother finish
Yeah definitely was the main focus of the video you can paint your car for cheap! And make it look like something if you put some time into it. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time on it just because it’s a drift car and it is going to get beat up.
@@randydrifts wow ok. Can you just buff it and polish? I would like to do this to one of my vehicles and if I can get away from pretty clear on it that would be great

Yes I love how easy it is to do. How cheap it is and anyone can do it
If you sanded it with fine sandpaper with water and then polished it with a machine it would be even better than it already is.
Yeah definitely you could spend some time on this and make it look professional.
Great job .
Thank you! 👊🏻

That’s crazy dude! I love how easy it is to paint a car with a roller.
You can get that flood leveler to add to the paint
I may redo it one day.
Looks amazing wow do you mind to sharing the kind of paint you used on this project please
Rustoleum enamel from lowes. It was like $50 for a gallon and I used about half a gallon of paint.
@@randydrifts THANK YOU SO MUCH Great video and great information greatly appreciated
@@gk4501no problem thanks for watching!
Prep work is everything. But for a race car it’s fine
Yes definitely it is a car that will get plenty of dents.

Sweet thanks I will keep this in mind if I decide to sand it down and recoat it !

@@davidgentz1731 sweet dude thank you for the advice I might try this again with another car.
Wet-sanding will overcome most paint job defects.
Then bluffing, sealing, and waxing, that's it.
Don't waste too much money.
Thanks for the input. Definitely want to keep it low cost because it’s a drift car it’s going to get beat up.
Some wet sanding and a clear and she'd look showroom fresh

After you wet sand it what kind of clear would you put on there
I ended up not sanding it the paint had enough shine to it I was worried about putting clear on it.
@@randydrifts wow ok. Can you just buff it and polish? I would like to do this to one of my vehicles and if I can get away from pretty clear on it that would be great
Oh no, what have you done?
i am realy not sure
A LOT of people have rolled Jeeps LOL
This was my inspiration lol
Not to Shabby
Thanks brother.
Jesus Christ loves you brother. He laid his life down for us to be forgiven of our sin. He is alive and God's Son
I appreciate that 👍🏻
