This looks ridiculousy cool. I think I really am going to paint my Volvo beater. It's going to go from white grandma-car to black with red wheels. Yeah. Rat Rod. I need to find someone who will lend me a garage.

If you were going to mask to shoot the clear, why bother with the roller for the color coat? The point of the roller is to avoid masking, avoid having to set up a booth, avoid mess, overspray, odor, etc.
There is a lot of info about clear on the Mopar site linked earlier in this thread. My impression is that BC/CC is somewhat beyond the scope of a roll-on paint project.
I'm tempted to try it on my 968 hood, it's got some sort of cracking from a previous repaint. I've had good luck with that Rustoleum paint, I used it on a fiberglass boat with good results, and I used the tractor paint to redo the fiberglass shower enclosure in my house, it's holding up well after a year of daily showers and neglect.

It sounded like this was more of a temporary fix. The nice thing is he can always get a BC/CC job done to the car over the Rustoleum if he wants to eventually, but meanwhile it sure is stylin' for a can of paint and pocket change!

I've read through the first thread (43pages!), and am working on the second thread..
You can paint a BC/CC job right over it, no problems. Also, the rustoleum isn't a temporary fix - he has pics of cars with over 6 years old paint, and it still looks really good.
Also, in the second thread, a guy brought up boat paint, which is meant to be brushed or rollered on, self levels, and is high-gloss. The marine paint is more expensive, but it takes less coats and works well in an automotive application.

One more thing to add, this procedure does work great with solid colors, However I would suggest NOT trying this with any sort of metalic paint. The specks will not roll on evenly and will only get worse the more you wetsand it.
