I dont see anything wrong with that at all.. . just go to the junkyard and understand nothing is forever and ever, this side of heaven. If it looks good from the mailbox, its good. Just because they did that way at the factory, doesn't mean we have to duplicate it, . It wouldn't bother me to take an old truck, or a school bus and paint it in latex. .It works for houses. How many guys have I heard say, I used to enjoy that old hotrod, until I put that expensive paint job on it. Now all I do is worry about it, .where to park it.

Some people might scoff at this kind of paint job, but hey man, that actually looks pretty damn effective. For the the cost and effort, oh hell yeah, I'd be real content with that. Good for you, nice job well done. Thanks for showing us.

It's so cool to see someone not trying to sell me bunch of crap explaining this, just doing what the can and experimenting, sharing the knowledge etc. Great video.

Looking good. I took a break from assembling my 383 for my 66 sport fury to watch this.

Funny how you can paint a million dollar house with a roller but not a $500 car.

I rolled a car 50 years ago, I wish it turned out like this. Brush painting cars was common until the fifties. This looks real nice!

Nobody can deny that it looks better! Night and day difference..great job!!!

That is not bad! A cut and polish would really make that paint look great. I might have to try this on my Duster trunk lid

Looks great. I see nothing to complain about. Saved yourself a lot of money. Great job, great advice. 🎉

Bahh Goddd. That looks pretty dang good. Well done buddy-ro.

I like it ! When I was a kid an older guy I knew grabbed a brush and a bucket of paint and went after a 60 something Ford. It turned out pretty nice! Guy knew how to use a brush, which brush to use and which paint to use. It was actually hard to tell he used a brush.

My uncle once painted a 63 falcon with a standard roller in robins egg blue. Coincidentally he ended up with an eggshell finish!!

Good looking van great job

Looks good ,now lets put flames on it

It sure looks better than it did! i like the 2 tone

That looks very good. I never thought about using a roller. Nice

absolutely nothing wrong with that, great job!

I used red rustoleum On a Mack R600 tractor and a Ford F350 stake body. Everyone said it wouldn't last, 10 years later they still shine

Great instructions. Followed your examples and tips. Same paint, flood, acetone. I used some small fruit cups to measure so when I painted it ended up the same color on all doors. Much less prep than spraying. Major parts sanding,, cleaning,, tac cloth. Did it on my driveway in 1 week. Pretty smooth finish. Minor resanding for easy touch ups. Spent less than $200 large van.. Thanks.

That looks very nice! Sometimes doing something for yourself and all by yourself is all that matters. As long as it satisfies you then it’s gold !!! Good job ! 👍

I did this with my ford transit and it worked terrifically. kurust underneath then painted in layers mixed with thinner. Each layer had more thinner and the finish got smoother. Took a bit of work but it did the job.

This paint job is very good 👍

I think it looks great.I never would have thought of using a roller. It did a very good job.

Thank you for making this video I am never going to the body shop

Man, ya did good.Ive seen alot worse from spray guns, I would drive it daily & be proud to be seen in it. Keep up the good work.

As a professional autobody man, well at least I was back in the day, I sure wasn't expecting to see such good results! I have to say I'm amazed!👍

You did What made happy and if you accomplished, You did great thats all that Matters. I think It looks Great.

I couldn't help but laugh when I found this. Because my wife and I painted our Chevy g 20 camper van the same way this guy did. And it actually turned out good. Good for a junky old camper van anyway! Good video. I enjoyed it.

I like your scientific measuring - perfect. Custom color mixing - perfect. For what it cost, the small amount of time and effort, compared to what it was, it turned out excellent - its a score. Great job.

As a car painter not a bad job with a roller my friend

I painted a cheap Honda Civic with a roller and it looks fantastic ! 75 dollars 😂 I never knew about penetral, will try that next time.

It definitely beats some of the rust buckets I've seen driving around.

Absolutely beautiful Job Brother! When rolled Right whether you paint the house a truck a boat or whatever... Generally speaking a Roller paint job , is usually Far Better than any spray rig !

KZfaq will take you to some strange places.

Looks way better than it did .you should repaint the entire van 👍

Absolutely beautiful my man! I'm gonna do this to a Dakota I just bought for $800! Used to do auto body work years ago. Buddy of mine did all the spray gun painting, and he was great at it. This method is fantastic for anything, but particularly nice and simple for certain projects. Great job!

not too shabby...good work!

Thank you for proving that I'm not completely insane by wanting to do this to my car! I knew someone would have a video 😆. It looks great. And I actually like how it turned out kind of two-toned. Oh and your measurements on the first coat were cracking me up (the "science" plus the free pours--good stuff).

Decent down home backyard paint job, looks good from my house.

I like it. It turned out way better than I thought it would, even with your high tech measurement system. Way back in high school, a guy in our class painted his "56 Chevy with a powder puff. He used lacquer paint instead of Rusto . A unique look and it actually turned out rather nice.

That is the most hillbilly thing I've ever seen......🤣😂🤣😂 I'm actually impressed with how it turned out.

no no no....take a body paint chip off somewhere like inside door panel and take it to home depot where they use a machine to identify/match your vehicle exact color! worked great for me!

It not a restoration . It is the better version . It's got character .😊

I think it looks good with that color grey

Holy smokes that end result is not what I was expecting

Looks good from here

Many years ago, I was driving a fuel oil truck, One day as I was making deliveries, I was coming down a country road and an old guy was painting his chevy a pretty shade of Sears weather beater .baby blue looked to be with a 3/4 in. brush. It looked good from the road. :)

That's the craziest thing I seen but heck makes the van look good again nice job 👏 👍 😂😂😅

Good job !the Nonchalant Commentary was hilarious 😅

It,looks good 👍. Graham

My uncle and his buddy did this with his 1972 Ford Maverick. The same Blue he painted his house with, he had a bunch left over, so they painted everything 😂 It actually came out pretty good, no drips or anything, and then he clear coated the whole thing.

Great looking van!

That's amazing, looks a lot better than I thought it was going to

Looks great!

Can't believe how good it looks, thanks for the information.

Outstanding content you are helping people save thousands of dollars, not everybody needs a “Concours de elegance” paint job.

Looks great

You did a phenomenal job and it turned out amazing... great work sir😊👍

Looking good to me. Great job. Des:Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪

What. No racing stripes LOL 😄 Keep up the good work. 👍

I highly suggest brushing a few coats of Penetrol over the whole thing. It’s the best clear coat you can get for under $20. Great job for the money spent

I did a roller job on my ‘72 Ford Maverick 4 dr, 302 ci, back in 1980, 2 coats of primer and then 4 coats ( I used a full gallon of Tremclad Dark Blue rust paint with some thinner added to smooth her out) and it came out fantastic. Rust proofed for years 😂👍🇨🇦

It really does look very good! Thank you for sharing this video. Your expressions at times are priceless and humorous too. 🥰

Love it! Excellent video. I have two early 90's Dodges, a Shadow and a Diesel truck, and this looks like just the ticket I was looking for. Less work, don't need so much masking, or the respirator, less muss and fuss in every way.

What a nice guy. Thanks for the video. It came out very good in my opinion

Good job dude. Look great

Looks Great. A Lot Better than it Did! That Flood Stuff really make it Lay Down Smooth like you said. In the End you probably can't even tell it was done with a Roller. Great Bang for the Buck Video!

Many years ago I worked with a lady who told us she was going to do this very thing over the weekend. Sure enough on Monday morning she came to worked in her newly painted car. She did it as you would paint a room. Used a brush around things like the door handles lights etc. At the time I thought you have more nerve than me. From a distance it was not as bad as you would think. On the other hand my Brother-in*law painted his car with a Wagner Power Painter as it was known at the time. Electric spray gun. Turned out very well as I remember.

I like it it looks good 👍👍

If you like it ....That's all that counts, Looks ok to me...

That looks excellent for a DIY job. Even coverage, unlike diy spray jobs. So much less to protect and cover if not spraying too. After seeing this vid, I wont use spray cans to touch up(bumpers) again. The additive that smooths out roller marks is sweet! Matching and mixing colors is challenging when painting parts. But with vehicles, you can order OEM colors at an automotive paint supply. I would consider doing this on my 03 Ranger that is Arizona sun damaged on hood and roof. The shops want $1500! Thanks for sharing.

Right on man... Ive been really thinking about doing this to my Ramcharger... and then I see this video... the answer is Yes!

We do our Army trucks k20 diesels 4x4, with rollers snd brushes, camo for the CUCV ( cargo unit civilian) they look great. So will your van.✋🏻👍

Looks pretty good

This guy is an OG! That’s original gangster to compliment, thanks for the entertainment very impressive

Im blown away

That came out pretty nice.... I would like to see what you could do with the turbine HVLP paint kit from Harbor freight was $69 you would have a masterpiece! With your skill.

This is what I do for my old farm equipment. It works great when prepped right and will last. Good job!

Very good tips in your video. Thanks for making it. Getting my courage up to paint my truck now.

Yeop , I'm doin this ! Thanks for the vid

It will be dull in a month. That's just the facts with Rustoleum. If you add enamel hardener to it . .available for the lay people at Tractor Supply, it will GREATLY change the chemistry to where it will hold a shine.

Great job, I’m impressed! It looks wonderful. The color matches! Wow

Great video. I plan to follow in your footsteps painting the hood of my 21 yr old Sienna minivan. Thanks a bunch!!

Prep it and roll it with boat topside paint...made for it.

lol, looks fantastic

all 3 of those dodges look great to me! i had so much fun at 12yo learning to drive on the clay backroads of northeast georgia with my dad in our 79 dodge low top conversion van with the 318 in it. would love to have one again.

Can't argue with results like that. It's pretty hard good to me. I might just try that on my 92D150

wet sanding and a spray of clear coat would have been taking this to perfection.

Looks good

That’s a big improvement!

LOOKS FANTASTIC!!

great job i am the same make it better and its a win

If you sanded it with fine sandpaper with water and then polished it with a machine it would be even better than it already is.

Super great video man worked a lot better than I would have thought

You is my kind of Guy wonderful job you could have made money off of me for that job

It's all about the flooding

Thanks oldschool.

I've used a roller to paint my deuce and a half and Scout as well as my other off road vehicles for many years, sans finnish sanding. To get a smoother finnish thin the paint, use reducer and a fine, low knap roller or quality paint brush. If you use a good quality brush with fine bristles, you won't get any brush marks and a low knap roller usually gives a quite smooth finnish also

Love this!! Bit more realistic than most of the car stuff on KZfaq

I am pretty much using your method only I added a step and I'm using the Rust-Oleum primer first The brown one I put on the first coat of paint on top of the primer It was about four hours ago and it's still a bit tacky I used 5 qts gloss royal blue 2 qts gloss black 10 oz acetone 20 oz flood penetrol Is that normal for it to take over 4 hrs to dry? It wasn't really hot outside when i painted it had cooled down So I'm thinking that might be why Also after seven months how is your paint job holding up Do you have any follow-up videos I'm doing this because I don't want to spend a lot my vehicle is a 2005
