    You can actually do a nice paint job with a roller but there is a whole lot of sanding involved. Way to much labor for me. I'll stick to spray guns.

    If nothing else, it's a really good read.

    Seen it a while back, in fact the mopar site they reference, has some pretty stunning examples..

    BTW, its not about giving up on spray guns or professional jobs, it's just showing that you can actually do a pretty decent job on the cheap... or in this case, a nicer temp job over just gray primer.

    Agreed. The bottom line to ANY paint job is prep work. You can use the very best paint made and get crap results with bad prep work.
