Re: OK, I'm gonna try once more !

OK, Here is my last attempt to post about my experience with
rustoleum. I changed my setting on G Mail. I don't understand why I
can send and receive e mails all day long, but have trouble posting to
the 62 to 65 list! GRRR.......................
Anyway, here is a copy of the posting I tried to send on Friday and
earlier today.........

>" I read the posting about rolling on the rustoluem paint from
another Mopar board about a year ago. I decided to try it on my 93
Dodge pickup. My truck is(was) the light metallic silver/gray color,
and every where that something had made even a tiny nick in the paint,
it started peeling away within a few months. It had started looking
pretty ratty, because parts of the hood and top had started rusting.
I decided to go with the Rustoluem gloss black.I wet sanded/scuffed it
with 280 grit. Then I carefully taped around the trim. I used the
rustoluem gloss black in spray cans around the trim, and where the
windows, etc. were taped up. Then I "experimented" a little with how
much mineral spirits to thin the paint with. (A couple of trials
required sanding off the goofs.) After I get it where it worked good,
I rolled the whole upper portion of the truck. ( Below the belt line
trim, the paint color is blue and in good shape, so I left it alone.)
I have a few runs and minor "ugly spots", but it would be very easy to
sand them out and touch it back up. (I may do that one day if I ever
get any spare time. LOL)  I did not do all of the fine wet sanding and
polishing, etc, like in the article, but I think it could be done if I
wanted to put forth the time and effort. But for the 95% improvement
in the appearance of my work truck, I am very happy with the results.
I don't think I would do this on my old muscle cars that I would put
in shows, but it works good for a daily driver.."<

If anybody wants to see before and after pics, you can e mail me
