Hi Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I tore apart the whole front end thinking that I would be able to have it together in a weekend but, nope, I opened a can of worms and I'm waiting for some parts to come in! Once I finish this I will resume the "$50.00 Paint Job" but I can tell in the little that I've done that this will work! People tend to focus on the fact that you're applying the paint with a roller but, in reality, what I've learned is you can pretty much apply it with whatever you want. The secret is in prepping it correctly meaning make sure the surface is as smooth as you can get it prior to starting and wetsanding in between coats to, again, get it as smooth as you can before putting on another coat. If you don't then you will get orange peel and this will ruin the final results when you buff it out. That's the key no orange peel and final buff!
