$80 dollar paint job - pics

[FlatBlackBurb]

i just finished painting my '87 and i gotta say, it looks pretty good! the original "osh" primer was starting to rust, so with a quick sand and 2 days work of painting for $80 bucks, it looks pretty good. I used the rust-oleum semi gloss black for $3.99 a can and gave it two coats. a litte splotchy here and there but it was the best i could get it

black is a great color. do you have any pics of your burb?

big plus: cheap touchups after wheelin'.


i've wondered what colors are easiest to put on without looking splotchy. white, maybe?

I have to do something for mine too. the primer is getting a little bit rusty.

i did the good ol Tremclad special took a can of tremclad gloss black and roller coated my truck hahah works like a charm and guess what i can wheel the PEE outta it and i wont care if it scratches cause i just go home and paint it again hahaahahahhahaha

would buying a can and rolling it on eliminate the "blotches"?

ya but with that paint is that you can roll it on REALLY thick if your not carefull and then it gets runny... so you jsut gotta take a little more time then with spray bomb
