No, they are using a marine paint called "Brightside", such as this:
Brightside Paint
I agree. Though guys are trying one coat of solid, followed by a coat of 'speckles', and only wet-sanding the solid coats. I'm not sure if they are having any luck, as I haven't progressed that far into the second thread..

As far as Marine paint goes, if your talking about Gelcoat, that stuff is a PITA to work with. It doesn't lay as smooth as auto paint and is a nightmare to wetsand and polish after it cures. Also Getcoat oxidizes much faster so it's not a good choice at all for street vehicles. Maybe he's talking about a different marine paint, I will have to check out the second thread when I get time.

BC/CC will not go over rustoleum w/o problems. The 2 products are not compatible. Btw, I'm not "hatin", just throwing in my .02 to avoid some of the misinformation. If anyone wants to do this to their car, they weren't going to spend money with me anyway. I think its a great idea for a track car or a car thats not going to be refinished properly in the future.

maybe I am being pesimistic, but this is like drinking a horse **** instead of beer and calling it economic.
it's better not to paint it than ruin it. atleast in my opinion.
no porsche car deserves to be painted with a roller.
nice color though..

I've seen spray jobs that looked like a monkey threw **** against a wall. Who cares how its painted? Its the end result that matters.

I partially agree with you. Where I differ is the choice of product. Rustoleum is like any other cheap enamel. It has no resistance to uv and never cures. This is why you don't want to try putting bc/cc on top, as a substrate it is very unstable. As far as I'm concerned, if I'm going to spend countless ours on something, I want a product that will last. However, I knew a painter years ago that painted a 69 charger with a roller on a dare. He used DuPont Centari acrylic enamel. After buffing it looked pretty damn good. Fwiw, I rolled the cabinets in my kitchen with Imron and they look amazing. If I could have sprayed them I would have, though I doubt the little lady would've appreciated the overspray.

Are you going to use that giant tub of Hummus for underseal
Seriously though it looks like you have done a superb job which would make any interior decorator very envious of
My hats off to you for trying something different - Hell it takes a brave man to paint his porker with a roller
I simply love the color mate - very nice

Actually yes. So sorry all! I've been pretty busy lately and haven't had time to take pics. I had a revelation a week or so ago when I walked outside to look at my car. I realized I hated the color. Yep, completely hated it. The more I looked at it, the more I hated it. So, I had a spare can of Sail Blue and returned it back to Wal-Mart. I'll post pics as soon as I can get my SD card to work.
