Cheap paint job
We have been having a lively discussion over on the Studebaker newsgroup
about a really cheap method of painting a car someone has come up with. http://tinylink.eu/Z0HHF (if that link doesn't work go to Google Groups and then alt.autos.Studebaker and look for the "Roller Paint your Studebaker" thread It involves using a product called "Tremclad", apparently a Canadian version of Rustolioum, you thin it until it's a big thicker than water, and then BRUSH it on the car (truck, Jeep) with a foam brush and 4" foam rollers. http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...0&fpart=1&vc=1 The idea is you give it two coats, wet sand the car, give it a couple more coats, and repeat. Finally give the car a really good polishing and a coat of wax. Obviously you don't want to do this on a show car but to make one look presentable it might be worth a shot. Jeff DeWitt |

The discussion about roller painting got me curious about other alternatives. Anyone ever painted a Jeep with tractor paint? http://www.agri-supply.com/HTML/3000021.htm Most of this stuff seems to be made by Majic paint. http://majicpaints.com/products/deta...%2D0951+Series Jeff DeWitt Jeffrey DeWitt wrote: > We have been having a lively discussion over on the Studebaker newsgroup > about a really cheap method of painting a car someone has come up with. > > > http://tinylink.eu/Z0HHF > > (if that link doesn't work go to Google Groups and then > alt.autos.Studebaker and look for the "Roller Paint your Studebaker" thread > > It involves using a product called "Tremclad", apparently a Canadian > version of Rustolioum, you thin it until it's a big thicker than water, > and then BRUSH it on the car (truck, Jeep) with a foam brush and 4" foam > rollers. > > http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...0&fpart=1&vc=1 > > > The idea is you give it two coats, wet sand the car, give it a couple > more coats, and repeat.

Re: Cheap paint jobs
Didja ever see a tractor that shined at all?
Tractors are notorious for faded paint. Personally I think that anyone who would paint ANY vehicle with a paint brush or a roller- deserves what they get. Sometimes they use a roller to repaint an old jeep top, that's a whole nother ball of wax though. In that case you would want the orange peel effect.
