    Nice job man but why did it cost 80-90 dollars to do? Mine only cost me maybe 20 dollars. But either way it looks good and one full day well spent

    Hawaii pricing is nuts, plus bought a little too much material lol. Gotta do a little touch up but overall better than i thought she'd turn out.

    Yep foam rollers. I would've sprayed it cause i know people that have a booth but rolling seemed to be like a easier option.

    Interesting idea. Can you wet-sand the Rustoleum paint after it dries to get rid of the streaking from the overlapping rattlecan passes?

    That's the key to making rattle can paint look good!

    Or at least on a smaller scale anyways... did my whole lower dash and it looks professional :)
