I need some advice please diy painters! I have a camper project that needs paint. It's builders white with welded sections in a completely different white so yeah needs something doing. The problem is that it's massive and I want something cheap to ride me over till I sell it and bud another :/ I have looked at the $50 paint job but that's a lot of sanding on a long wheelbase hightop van. I am thinking 3 coats with no sanding... Is that going to look poo poo? I don't want super shiny but I don't want to look like a gypsy with army green matt. So what's the best solution?

InitialDave posted:Do you have a compressor? I can borrow one from a mate. It's a big semi pro one. Nowhere to paint though. It will be an in drive job. Personally I would go matt black but the mrs would kill me and refuse to ride in it!

Motronic posted:Painting is fast and easy. Prep is what makes paint look good and takes a lot of time. I just don't want it to stand out as poo poo. So would say sanding it all back and a single stage paint on a driveway work well enough. It's that or a roller paint job. It's not worth the time and money making it look good.

So I got given some paint... My mate said his compressor was broken so rolled it on. One more coat and it's a good 15ft paint coat. http://i.imgur.com/NZzmSbz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ED5DDUd.jpg http://i.imgur.com/aRf8WDP.jpg

revmoo posted:So if you change the color of a car I assume you need to call the DMV so they can change it on your registration? Yeah here in the uk we send off the log book (v5) telling them it's new colour and it's returned all done. I am joint to wait a bit as I am also registering it as a camper ASAP, needs a bed and cooker in first, for cheaper insurances
