I'd like to re-paint the Midget at some point. I was considering the $50 paint job but it looks like a pain in the cock with so much sanding. I suppose even though it's a small car, it'll still be pretty expensive to have it painted professionally, right? I just found a huge free air compressor on Craigslist, looks like the owner is moving and can't haul the fucker out of his garage or something. So that could make a proper paint job much easier. Motronic, I like the Walmart carport thing you mentioned. Is http://www.walmart.com/ip/ShelterLogic-White-Enclosed-Canopy-Kit-with-Windows/20415819 the sort of thing you had in mind? That might fit in my driveway... Any other recommendations for painting a tiny roadster? Something like 7/10 would be nice... from what I'm reading here, that means either hire a pro or bite the bullet and use proper spray tools?

Anyone have any experience with marine topside paint on a car? They advertise UV protection, durability, and good gloss... I'm thinking that could be a possibility for a roll-on paint job.

Rhyno posted:Well since the jackass I showed the Civic to had no cash I guess I will be giving the roll on job a try. I have the paint, what type of primer should I get? One of the guys on the MG forum had good results with rattlecan primer. Please take copious pictures, I intend to do a roll-on job pretty soon.

 I got sick of just endlessly sanding, the hood was pretty much ready to go, so I said gently caress it and started rolling it on:  This picture makes it look better than it is, but the color is starting to show.

Update. I think I've nearly got enough paint on this thing to give it a final wet sand, then see what I can do about getting a shine on it. (that dark stuff at the back is just shadow from a tree)

Forgot to add, I rattle-canned some black semi-gloss on the rocker panels and it looks loving gooooooood:
