I could see myself doing this to the right car but I would want it to come out really smooth and not so pebbled. I'd also lean heavily towards using white for heat and fade reasons. As far as prep, I don't know if this is really that much easier than other methods, since you need to score up the existing paint with Scotchbright or similar tools then wipe and mask. Sounds about the same as the Rustoleum / roller method, right?
Well, with the rustoleum method, i'd probably be a bit more anal retentive about the body work since it'd be easier to see. But yes, i see your point. Arg. Anyone want to just paint it satin black for me at a GRM-friendly price?
I'd paint it for you for free if you were in TN. It's just a hobby of mine, but for what you are wanting (satin black) it wouldn't take long. It would have to warm up some though.

Hrmmm.... i'm going to send you an email.

Or at least going to try... your email box is inactive. Shoot me an email, if you don't mind.

I resisted this but...

Ben, as a quick way to figure out how heavy this will be, remember that a pound of it will weigh about 16 ounces.
