Roller painting...
I know its easily doable with stuff like Rust-o-leum as per the VW 80/90 guys, but I dont really have 4weeks to let the thing dry off.
Is it possible to roller 2pak paint on? (can you still even get hold of it?) Does anything special need to be done to the mix, ie thicken/thin it more than spraying etc.
Yes you can roller 2 pak paint, its easy peasy to do Stuartit'll need to be a thin mix though else it'll be a bast to roll!
Use a 4" decorators roller frame, with a foam sleave (used for glossing doors etc) and it'll go on a dream
The roller frame will cost about £1.50, a pack of 10 sleaves should be about £4 (MAX)
why would you want to do this mate will it not leave a horrible finish
Nope, it'll leave an almost factory perfect finish if done correctOriginally Posted by turbojolt
My old R5 GTT was rollered

suppose its one of them things you have to see to believe
Do it day in, day out and you'll soon pick up on how easy it is to get a perfect finish.
Same goes with any paint, not just 2 pack, decorators use rollers to gloss door/large area's and they/me can get it right first time.
sorry mate but rollers do not give as good a finish on gloss work as a good quality brush
Lots of flatting will see to the finish.
It is doable & has been done on cars with great results. If you can offset the low cost with the required effort/time, then its a viable option.
has anyone got any picture of the finish
