hi everyone. new to the forum but have loved and owned mopars for years.

my question is about a 67 A100 van i recently aquired for general hauling and such. I do not plan or want to spend too much money on this as it will mostly be used for utility, but never the less it does need paint. i have heard stories of painting cars with roller that turn out half decent. Half decent seems to be my aim for this project so id figure id give it a shot.

anyone have any tips, experience or suggestions with how to start such an endeavor?

 

IF you do ... be sure to get a HD oil-based paint !

 

I have seen experenced house painters do this and the car looks good from across the road but that is about it.
my advise is dont bother, I think Challenger`s advise is better.

 

Well, there is the 50 dollar paintjob, I`ve tried it, and it works!

here`s a link!

just remember, it`s cheap, but time consuming!

 

I have done a car with a bunch of spray-bombs. It was a Bantam altered fiberglass body. It came out really decent ... even from 5 feet away.

 

I have seen that one as well, and if you read the article, you`ll se that it`s a direct offspring, to the 50 dollar paintjob!

but none the less, I have a dodge pickup, that wil be paintet in this way!
