Hmm, check out this $50 dollar paint job.

Interesting techniques to be sure.

For me, if I had to sand(by hand) I'd drive it off a cliff! I hate that job. In any type of quantity what so ever, I'll defer to those who do it for a living.

they make special 1500grit and up velcro type sanding discs to be used with DA (Dual Action) sanders that you can slow down and use it to wet-sand with... i've done it in shops on cars right out of the booth, paint still hot to the touch, to sand out impurities...

now on my truck, i spent $40 and bought a few cans of Engine Enamel Grabber Green, and sprayed away... looks good for now, andin the spring i'll add leaf detail again... then clear it all for protection...

Is there something one can do to Rustoleum paint to make it flat instead of gloss?

I don't remember the exact name but it was rustoleum exterior paint from Home Depot, there's like 8 different colors they carry on their shelves. I think the red was called "sunrise red" and the grey was "smoke grey"

Thanks key for that link, and the info on the step, ordered myself one for the new year, lol.

You are welcome!
I read the thread in detail, and made notes. The Tremecled mentioned is not available here, so I used rustoleum, but a lot of people have swapped over to the Boat paint with good results now.
