ok, it looks alright if you have a £200 escort van, or a huge amount of time to bother to rub it down between coats & polish the hell out of it... its called coachpainting & is nothing new.

Now you can park it in posh places without looking like a gipo.

they used a sprinter as an example ffs.... might as well paint it with a muck spreader, cos it will be an improvement.

Ive been thinking this last year, i researched the 'rustoleum' stuff to death. In the end it costs the same as enough paint, thinners and hardener etc to do a car properly! I decided against it.. But as said, if youve got the time to flat and polish it.. Give it a go! :)

I've been tempted recently to paint my spare doors with rollers, mainly as I don't have the space or money for a decent spray setup. Might just rattle can them though instead lol

If you cant afford real paint, rattle can matt black with all chalk lines to replicate a chalkboard lol

All i am saying is i cant belive how well it come out

If you were willing to spend the time flattening and polishing you could get a good finish if you applied the paint with a teaspoon.
