Ive started rolling my mini roof. Its coming out ok. But i seen this package on ebay that has a gravity feed sprayer, 5L of paint and some hardner for 50 quid. How easy is it to use a gravity fed sprayer? Do you reckon i would be better off just sticking with rolling?
spray or roll?

Thanks Bumgle
I'v ewondered about those packs on Ebay,... I'd imagine even with the cheapo gun you'd have to do a lot of finishing to get it looking good. But... for £50.. it's not a massive loss if it goes tits up.

To be honest, for £50 quid worth of kit and paint, Your not going to get a great finish at all. I feel you would be better off with spray cans...
If thats your only option then Do the Retro thang!! and roller paint it.
After all, cars from early last centuary were hand painted.

Bought some Hammerite today and it now has a label saying it is a new formula suitable for rolling!
Guess they have been looking on here.
