$50 paing job?

[missioncontrol]

Saw this over at www.makezine.com and after researching a bit more about paining a vehicle, I've found other references to this technique.

Anybody else hear of it or had experience trying it?

yeah, I'm seriously thinking of painting my truck with this method, I've been reading more about it at a Mopar forum, apparently some guy has had great results with a Charger and VW Bug

the only thing id make sure to do was get some high dollar spray clear coat thats for cars, spray a good few coats on it and buff it like crazy, just to ensure it doesnt fade and that its protected

The guy says he did his bug 6 years ago and it hasn't faded yet, I'm not even close to half way through the thread at mopar yet, but he also says if you get the gloss it buffs out great and there's no reason to clear coat it afterwards....

My poor Bronco's clear coat is flaking real bad and with the work I need to do to get the rust under control, this looks like a great option....
