[pflaming]

Some months back there was a thread on roll-on paint. I couldn't find it. Question: Who mfr's this paint, where do I inquire?:

Go to www.moparts.com, look for Paintjob on a Budget,in the Questions and Answers section, it is a lengthy thread dedicated to roller painting, the techniques, the products to use etc........Fred PS I know the individual who started this thread, he also has perfected this method of painting, he has done a 1969 Charger, General Lee orange and his VW Beetle, as well as a host of other cars............Fred

Paul,

I am rolling the paint on my B1B and posted some info and pics in previous threads. I am using Brightside Marine Polyurethane single stage from Jamestown Distributing.com. Takes some getting used to, but looks like base/clear when you get it right. JMHO

Dave, what are some tricks to getting it right that you have found?

Here is the link to the thread...a huge thread but interesting.

Very Cool, I like watching people think outside the box!

Of course cars were originally painted by brush anyhow. There were no SATA gravity fed guns in 1908, I remember reading an artical on rolls royce having a storage issue as they were painting the cars in oil based paint that took 10-14 days to dry and sand between coats. A good paintjob could take 2-3 months! The cars were lined up in rows, waiting for the next coat. I'm sure the english winter didn't help much

Same offer as before to you on this forum: Send me a private e-mail with your snail mail address, and I'll mail to you a copy of my roller paint diary with the notes from my own learning curve. It's about the best I can offer to anyone interested in this process. It is time consuming, and the surface prep is super important. LOL:)
