Yes, I have messed up a paint job more than once too! Don't feel bad. I probably have a few more left in me too!

The best advice I can give is work with someone who has more experience. They have made the mistakes and can help you not make them. Anybody can roll Rustoleum. A proper paint job is hard work and you need the right equipment.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

I rolled it out two days ago, as I've been putting some time in on it. It kind of looks like the Delorian.. almost has a brushed Al look...

Don't get me wrong it still looks like HELL... and because the car IS sold I will now post one picture.

enjoy and

Have at it.. I've got thick skin 8)

Has anyone ever seen good results using the roll-on method with a plastic bumper?
