The $50 Car Paint Job
Want to paint your car for 50 dollars and actually have a good finish? Rick Wilcox of rickwrench.com did just that. Using Basic supplies like a couple quarts of Rustoleum, foam rollers & touch up brushes. He turned his corvair from a wreck to riches.
“After everything, I can say I’m -very- sold on the method of application. No booth, no paint gun/equipment, very little masking, no overspray. I do have unresolved questions about the paint. Rustoleum is a fine household enamel, but I wonder at it’s long term durability. Several folks have reported eventual fading using Rustoleum colors. We’ll see what happens with the white. Next time I paint a car with this method, I’m going to investigate a few higher quality paint options.
Corvair Corsa, mostly done, parked back on the street where it belongs. Rims rattle-canned to match the stripes, stock Corsa wheel covers. I still need to install the wheel well trim and “corsa” emblem that goes under the fuel door.
I can say, with confidence, the stripe is worth at least 5-7 rwhp. ”
