<VV> painting on the cheap

[deltainc]

Killing time at O-Reilley's  tother day, I stumbled on  a display of 
Rustoleum DIY paint kits.  Hmmm so I have googled up Rustoleum, 
Paint-it-yourself blogs, etc.   Hmmmm ....   I am circling this idea like a 
moth to the flame.  There was a thread here a couple years ago about a vair 
owner rolling on 6 or so coats of Rustoleum, wet sanding then buffing out 
final, as I remember.  Held up at last count about 4 or 6 years....

I got a racer buddy pro who will prepare and shoot the best of PPG, also he 
has a baking stall ...  does a great job, I called him and he says if you 
have last months paint, you are obsolete already; kinda like computers ... 
(g) ...  but even thru his kindness to old foks it's still 1K$ plus paint; 
my local good reputation body guy wants $3500 for the good stuff.

The rustoleum kit ( primer, color, and clearcoat  ) is about $100 or so 
total ... and of course my labor, which my wife assures me is worthless 
anyway.

Holy Tomolly... Rustoleum sure has a lot of products, but the kits at 
OReallys? don[t have much of a selection of colors... Sunrise Red is a hair 
too orange for me, but my little v8vair is begging for new clothes ...  last 
painted ppg+clear about 1992.  If had my druthers, I would go Ford Pickup 
Red, boy is that saturated.

just some thoughts ... ken at deltawerkes ( & soon to be paint shop..  roll 
on style, probably.   ).
