I sprayed my whole truck with rusoleum safety red and gloss white (professional series) and it worked great. two years later the paint is starting to fade a little, but I could polish and wax it and it'll come back. I don't bother though, we painted the truck without a spray booth and its got some bad spots in it, Plus all the bondo is starting to show through.

Bottom Line: If the surface is prepped properly and sprayed in a paint booth(with a $50 paint gun from wal-mart), It'll look great!!!! for a total investment of about $100. If you don't belive me, HOT ROD painted a car with a roller and rustoleum paint, and it looked pretty good.

we didn't clear-coat mine, and it looked like a factory original 67-72 paint job.

If anybody is crazy enough to try it. P.M. me and I'll give you a few tips about spraying it.
