Painting Cars 1/32 scale to 1:1scale
XJ6 replied to XJ6's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Well...That was most interesting...I guess i would have to say that "YES" One could get stellar results painting with the roller...But i have to ask why spend all that Time and Trouble..well at least in this case..for he has been at it for almost 4weeks...Just went over and talked to him..and well i must say it looks alot better..But Still?.. Just seems to me prep the truck /car and get a Paint Gun..and Spray (Paint) the darn thing in just hours and Be DONE -
"Thank-You Terry Sumner...I can now see how important it Really is to get the Paint "Flat"..."Smooth"... This does explain to me, why i see models on here.. and the Decals look like they are Painted on...Thanks for taking your time and giving me a Good Detail Understanding on this matter..." Hats of to ya...Cheers...

Painting Cars 1/32 scale to 1:1scale
XJ6 replied to XJ6's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That could be the problem...for i have been smelling Mineral Spirts and Enamel Paint from across the street for 3 weeks now! it really is sad..he really has been trying to paint his truck (nice 4+4)well needs paint :)I have offerd to help him..Gee here it is 10:00pm and dark out side and there he is painting in the dark with this Paint Roller...It is so Darn Funny...but on the other hand i Really Feel Sorry for the Guy...he puts the paint on, then the next day sands the paint almost off then puts another coat of paint on he really needs help...are just put down the roller...he a Nice Guy..But i just believe you cannot get a quality paint job with this roller routine... Wish i afford to haul his truck off to a paint shop in the middle of the night..and get it painted for him..for the truck looks like when i painted my first model kits with a paint brush... -

Painting Cars 1/32 scale to 1:1scale
XJ6 posted a topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hello to all..Has anybody ever painted a Car / Truck with a paint roller?..I have a neighbor across the street from me who applys Rustolem Enamel Paint (Black) with a Paint roller...then sands the paint with 600#grit and then applys another coat.. he has at this time 7 layers of the paint on the truck...I ask him why??? and he say's this is popular..and a lot of shops paint Cars /Trucks this way...I have never heard of such a thing. Judging by the looks of the Truck..painted with a Paint Roller...This is the funniest thing i have ever seen.. Has anybody ever heard of using a paint roller? I have seen Paint Brushed cars...Spray Bombs..Anymore??? -
