Poor man's paint job???
So i am actually considering the big ? of doing the poor mans paint job you see all over the net. here is the link http://www.rickwrench.com/index79mas...llarpaint.html
let me know if you have any real pros or cons on this thought, because money is nowhere near available but i want my stang to look how she should no matter how much labor it takes.

Last time I read that link the Corvair paint was still holding up very well after 2 years. The key to a good paint job is mostly prep. I say go for it, even if it turns out crappy it should help protect the metal and can always be stripped off. If you take your time and do it right, should turn out nice. Let us know what you do and post up pics!

Rustoleum has it's place, like on farm equipment, frames, floors, etc.
But, if I was going to take the time (and EFFORT) to brush on and then color sand, I would not be using rustoleum.
Try some DuPont INDUSTRIAL Imron, 10 times better, dries with a catalyst, cures 10 times faster than Rustoleum, you can get it in ANY color and I get it for LESS than I can get Rustoleum for in a big box store.

This stuff in not always available from an auto paint jobber but is still widely available.
The coverage alone is twice as good as Rustoleum. (in black anyway) In other words 1 gallon will cover what it takes 2 gallons of rustolium to cover. Been there done that. Coverage matters.....
Don't get me wrong, I like Rustolium for some stuff, but this paint is way, way, better, and more economical.

This is good "stuff" for an economy paint job. I sprayed this red for LESS than $45.00 a gallon vs. $$$$ car paint...
