Posted before, now in Hot Rod Magazine: Paint your car with a roller...

[IUU2ROC]

Here's a link to the Rustoleum that Hot Rod used.  I don't see anything that is close to Sublime but you can mix the paints.  I was having the same thought about Super Blue but I think Sublime would be a harder shade to match.  I wouldn't go with house paint as that is probably a different type of paint all together.

Thanks. I thought it might be pretty hard to find. If I hadn't run across that post on Moparts, I wouldn't have suspected that Rustoleum/Tremclad might have a match. I'm sure its just a matter of finding the tinting instructions somewhere.

No, I wasn't considering house paint, but the "paint guy" at Lowes actually suggested it, even after I told him what is was going to be used for. That's about when I decided he might not be management material. Although, when I had a summer job at a gas station 30 years ago, we had a customer who painted his car with house paint and a brush....... and it looked like it.

You know, after reading about this in Hot rod, looking at the pictures, and trying to get into some of the details on moparts, I've come to the conclusion that the whole roller deal is still not the cheapest or easiest way to do a paint job and at this point is more of a "lookit what I did" endevour.

Case in point, new professional series hvlp gun from harbor freight is $40, single stage PPG industrial urethane is $40 a gallon, epoxy primer is $50. Add in a weekend worth of prep, an day spraying, and your done. No sanding, no multiple coats, no roller, no hype. You spray primer, your spray color, your done.
