The Roller Paint Method

The process of not spray painting your vehicle, but using a roller with multiple coats and wet sanding until it is a smooth finish. You use good old Rustoleum paint and thin it with mineral sprints, then just roll it on. Rustoleum makes a Gloss Almond that is a near perfect match, so this is what I am using. I am not worried about perfection, this is not a show truck. I am painting it this way because it is cheap and gives good results from all I have read about this method. This is the first time doing this, so I am only starting with the tail gate and finishing that. Then see how it looks and finish the rest of the truck. The body work will not be perfect, I am not going to fix every dent little ding. The tailgate has some good dents, they will stay. I will however do bondo work and fill most of the large dents, but if I miss something minor, no big deal to me. I am keeping the truck the same color, this is so I do not have to paint door jams and under the hood. I unfortunately do not have a large enough garage to do this, so it will be done outside. This means the paint will get some bugs, out of my control. I will do the best with wet sanding to get rid of them, but as I said this is not a show truck. The bed will be painted or spayed with bed liner, so no need to paint that.
