do it man, i used 4 inch gloss rollers. realy easy, did it in the street. i did prep the body work, treated the rust. the pics were taken in the summer and i have sorted the sills and As since. one great thing about it is if i scratch it or mark it i just roller that part again.

I just went out to find my rat bonnet. I left it in the garden ages ago lol. Went out and removed all the leaves off it. I had been proped up on its side so its rusted more on one side lol.

Looks pretty cool though.

How long has it been out there? :L

About 5-6 months. Like I said its been propped up against a shed so was never really open to all the bad weather other wise I'm sure it would have rusted a hell of alot quicker. Never mind I''v still got ages until I'm gonna use it anyway as the car it was gonna go on had come off the road for a resto.

yeah mine is rollered as well in satin black Rustoleum which i thought would be easy at first but turned into a nightmare. but after messing about for weeks i got it right in the end
and with satin paint it will eventually go shiny again so i will go for the green then.

i used propa military paint, covers realy well, took me 3 days to do and i didnt do a rush job. for bonnet/panel rusting go to www.rat-look.com the guys on there experiment with all sorts of ways of getting different effects by putting allsorts of strange stuff onto bare panels, battery acid ect.

What paint did you use for your satin black?
