Here is some better pics of the hood. This is all rolled on paint. I think it looks quite good

Thanks man! It wasn't that expensive or that hard to do. The hardest part was the e-brake cable, only because you have to get under the car and the exhaust is in the way.

HaHa yeah getting it ready for the winter here in New England. I find it better to hover over the snow to get the best traction

Looks preety effin sweet!

Is it a ~75/25 ratio? I've seen on youtube?

Yeah it's close to that. As you do it you kinda get a feel for how much mineral spirits to mix in. You could do 100% paint, but it wont auto level and will take forever to dry. The only downside of the paint is that it takes a long time to fully cure. It is dry enough to handle after a day or so. But needs to be left out in the sun for like a week or more before final sanding and buffing.

i've seriously contemplated doing this but seeing as i live in a severely WINDY and DUSTY place it might not fare too well, or at least there would have to much more critical wet sanding LOL

LOL yeah I have wet sanded for hours! I could only imagine in a very dusty environment. The wind isn't really an issue unless it's blowing crap into the paint.

What kind of materials are you using for this? It looks amazing, never would've guessed it was rolled on. I may need to test this process on my GT. body is in decent shape, def not as bad off as yours was but the paint on mine has gone to crap. Nice work man!

I just used Rustoleum Paint, foam rollers, mineral spirits and lots of sand paper! I bought most of it at Home Depot.

Here is the video I used to learn from: Paint a car with Rustoleum

The only big change I did was you don't have to use a hair dryer. The little bubbles pop on their own.
