Rolled some paint today

[stefan]

Im getting sick of body work so i took the day off to experiment with rolling tremcald. I put 2 coats on my fenders to test out the color. 8)



Looking ok so far. I dont think i tinned the paint enough though. I was getting bubbles.

Awesome , I cannot wait to see the whole car , when it is done !!

Looks great so far

If the rest of the car looks as good as that fender it should turn out nice!

What kind of paint are you useing. If i can fix up the body on my car for under 500$ then i might just do it to try and get some extra cash when i sell it

looks good!
adding a little more thinner should help... also make sure the first time you "roll over" it you get enough paint on to cover, and then roll back over it w/ just the weight of the roller to help get rid of the bubles faster.
when thined the viscosity should be slightly greater than like water, but less than that of milk. "observe" how when you stick something into milk and then let it drip the drop and ripples are very defined... then try the same w/ watter.. and it should be somewhere inbetween. i don't go by the amount of thinner any more, but rather just have a "feel" for it.

good luck!
