If your really that concerned with being different do a two tone jib or some other similar paint scheme, that way you wont have to re-paint the whole car and it will be a little different.

hahahaha, roller paint is wetoddid. It is for people that definetly have way too much time on their hands and dont know how to do things right.

I went out and bought all the supplies so i could see what all the fuss was about... and guess what... it is just stupid. There is so much time required for this process it is absolutely pointless. The paint requires so much "finishing" after it is applied. Its dumb, your car has great paint on it, you would kick yourself after you finished a roller job for it.

Driveahonda, I remember reading about the prep and finishing etc., etc. With my job, I get so much time off of work on a weekly-monthly basis, time wouldn't have been the issue. Although, kicking myself in the end was the biggest worry and wanted a general concensus from everyone here. I appreciate it.

There was a really nice '91 240 (multi colored panels) I was gonna buy and try the roller job on it and re-sell, but had to hold off b'c of the brake install.

It keeps getting pushed back, I have no clue. Mainly I'd like it to be sometime 1st/2nd qtr '08 before I deploy. Our squadron has had leave & comp days stripped from crew til mid January.
