Rustoleum is like any other paint, it won't hide anything. So, body prep is everything! The nicer the body work, the nicer the paint! Rustoleum also does not come in a lot of colors, but they can be mixed to come up with about any solid color you can imagine. That being said, I painted my 50 with it! It was originaly a grey color and I could'ent see coughing up 2-300 bucks for a gallon of paint! And then theres the reducer and all the "other" stuff.....So, I tried it. All my buddies had a great laugh at me, untill they saw the car. It looks fantastic!!! They all know that their $7-800 paint alone, paint job has just got to be better, but to date they can't tell me why. I guess it "just feels better". Since I'm not much of a painter I did make a few errors, but it had nothing to do with the paint. What I learned: Use a new paint gun. Buy a Harbor Freight $40 buck gun and use it for the paint, not primer or anything else. After, its a primer gun. Paint in a booth. Even if you have to slap one togather out of 2x4's and plastic. Rustoleum likes about 65 degrees. It will have to be thinned. Paint thinner works great. Don't try to mop it on all at once, but once you start painting, ya gotta finish. Not color it up and go back a few days later for the last coat. On the last coat, mix in a little stuff called Penatrol, it's kind of a leveler. Done right the paint will lay down, gloss up and come out looking like glass. No rubbing, buffing, no nothing! And, even if you get a few runs, air hose hits, etc, in about 3 days or so you can sand and patch up no sweat. It's kinda like old school lacquer in that reguard. And the stuff is tough, it won't "fall off". alleycat
