Roll on paint
Hugh_ - 20/3/10 at 06:41 PM
I recall an article in CKC a while back (at least a year, maybe 2!) where someone had painted their car (possibly a riot) with roll on paint. I cant
find my copy of the magazine, but does anyone know, or can recall who made the paint/where it came from?
Cheers

I recall it was a Sylvia Stryker and red but cant remember the paint. You can buy brush on repaint from most motor factors and an excellent finish can
be achieved with the correct preperation

I've heard of people roller painting using Rustoleum Combi-Color with great results.

That'll be Sylva, with a silent and indeed non existent 'i'.
I now, off topic, but we all have our little things to get tweaked about.

Just found it for you it was a running reporters car in CKC mag, the car was a sylva mojo and the article says that the paint job for the car cost him
£200 and is marketed by deauville cars.

Hope this helps.

We used the rustolueum stuff with their adhesion primer on an old fibre glass jeep , excellent result, also took a look a the Deauville stud ff at
Stafford show one year , it looked Ok but if it was an expensiuve car I' d still want it sprayed

Not if its done right. The car that I seen painted in Combi-Color initially had orange peel effect when painted. Once the paint has hardened and
rubbed down with compound it is hard to tell that it was hand-painted.
I did a search and I found the site where I had read about Combi-Color painting. Have a look at
this.

Best paint job I ever saw was on an old Roller. Brushed on and rubbed down between coats. It was about 2mm thick and had a gloss that looked about two
miles deep.

I have seen a car painted by a decorator using a Camel hair brush the finish was amazing he used coachpaint.
swanny - 20/3/10 at 08:49 PM
i looked into the rollered paint a while back. good results can be had, but it takes a huge amount of work from what i was told to get near to even a
rattle can finish. depends how paitent you are

I had a Transit pick up that I painted using enamel coach paint and when I started the paint was too thick so I thinned it with white spirit. I
brushed it with a good quality brush and it looked alright for a brush finish straight off. I left it in the garage till next day and went back to
demask and it looked great, no-one believed I had brush painted it.
It might have been a Transyt, I'm not sure now

I used this approach on my Sylva Leader - the result is okay and could be improved upon with more skill by the applicator! Its a useful locost option
- particularly if you have a garage without power.

Superb thanks for all the replied. Trex, was it the "CombiPrimer - adhesion primer" or just the "Adhesion primer" (black can and
silver can respectively)?
Thanks
Hugh
