Has anyone seen/tried this? I thought it was a joke when i first heard about it, but having looked into it some people end up with a really good finish.

lol i have seen it and the finish isnt that great

 

my be if it was a track/drift car yeah great .. but not for a nice car or even a z32 at that

Looks alright from a distance, but within a few months i think you'd find the paint peeling from the edges, it seems these guys are wet and drying the top coat until it evens out - not a great way to deal with paint, it's all in the prep. If you get that right the results will be a lot more rewarding :)

 

Cheeky photo excuse of my old project:

 

rattle canned the primer on my old car but spent ages getting it all smooth:

 

 

Then spray boothed the top coat:

 

 

(ignore the black lights..)

 

From what I saw on that rolling sight it lacked serious photos close up to the paint, i'd be surprised (although I've been wrong before!) if it didn't look a bit brush stroked or have an orange peel texture

Wouldnt paint me car with one but in the past I did horse box (lorry) and a landrover with a radiator roller, both came out really good but, the finish would not be good on a car....IMO :)

Not saying i would do my own car like this, maybe if it was a track car. Just found it mental when i was told. Right enough on no close up, wonder if with the right prep and time taken it could be made to work?

I saw a cavalier that had been painted with a paint brush, looked bloody awful. I must have spent a good f5mins pointing and laughing at it :lol:
