I started out building a show car, but now i want a hot rod that i drive everyday, so this is my one step further to doing everything myself, from the article it really seems easy and hard to mess up ,considering when your done you can say " Not Bad For a Roller Job

More info than you can shake a stick at-http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...=3#Post2331682. 44 pages worth. A lot to wade through but they cover it all. The thread even continues (with even more success stories) for at least 70 more pages here-http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...=0&fpart=1

Wow, I never thought a Roller Job would be able to create something that amazing. The paint on his car is gorgeous. If I get a car that needs paint I just might try that, instead of a fancy big money paint job. Just need a place to do it.
