Also... .rustoleum... Why not just spray on?? I get a good smooth finish when i use the rattle cans... U can still wetsand and buff it and it still evens out on its own. But they you cant say "my paint was rolled" -Jon

However, utilizing that site, can you please give me a direct paint of exactly which painting product to get?

Thanks!

That's just too funny. That pony logo has been on there facing backwards since the day I got the car. After painting I just dutifully stuck it back on there facing the wrong way. It matches the broken honeycombs in the grill very nicely.

The rims are 18 by 9 all around, tires are 265 / 35. Aesthetically I think 17s with a 40 or 45 series sidewall would look better... the 18s look good from some angles but not the greatest from a straight profile shot. 17 by 9's are tougher to fit due to interference from the A-arm. They are on there more for traction than looks anyway. I have the stock 17 by 8s on my 2006, and I can take a corner at such and such a speed and the back end slides out a bit. Not enough to set off the traction control, but enough to slide a bit and keep the tires screeing. The 72 I can be going 5-10 mph faster and no sign at all that the tires want to break loose. Of course I also have weld-in subframes / MC bar / etc. on the 72...

Not to take away from the original thread, which I still think is a very interesting idea. Like Thumpin and Paddy and Rmodel have said, I bet the secret is in thinning the paint just right that it flows out evenly and won't need too much wetsanding to fix. I am interested in seeing what kind of results people get using this method, of course the Charger from the start of this thread has paint which is certainly acceptable for a driver...
