No point comparing this to a 2K spray job, but you might find it won't last very long. The main issue is Hammerite and such like metal paints, don't flex enough for car body panels. You really need the polymers in proper car paint to stop it cracking and crazing. You probably could have got away with fine sanding and a few lacquer coats. Interesting video though.

This is the equivalent of self-dentistry 😂 I painted my steel boat in 2013 with black hammerite and it lasted well, but the ingredients have changed since due to "green" laws. You might have to repaint your car a couple of times per year

I have a 20 year old car. A Toyota Echo Hatchback. I painted it with little rollers too. It is almost the same colour as yours. I used International Harvester Red tractor paint I got at the Canadian Tire hardware store. It came out pretty good. Before I started, the clear coat was peeling everywhere. I wish I could send you pics of it. I did not have a garage to paint it in so I painted it in the parking lot behind the Walmart.

I like it! Think I'll do the same thing and same color to my old Dodge pickup.

Red flys spotted in Hampshire

add some Flood Penetrol to the paint to remove the roller mark and then wet sanding, it should be all good.

This is interconnecting A or B room? Do you know what is the difference between this two types?

People spend millions on a house that has been painted with a roller so why not the same for a car..makes sense doesn't it 😊

You did a nice job. The result would be better with a bit higher temperature conditions. Inside a garage or something like that. The colour is looking good. Going to use this paint with a roller on my old tractor...

You need to do the rims black 👍🏻🙂 I enjoyed the video coz you've sold me an idea. I recently bought a Hotchkiss jeep that needs to end up in WW2 green. I'd considered the expense of a spray job. But you know what? I'm not going to bother. I'm going to roller/brush it. More field authentic, more character and more mine. Great job. I've heard brush stroke marks are called patina. Thanks for proving a theory 👍🏻

Good for you mate . What a difference . I painted a few cars in my younger days . I got quite good at it . Best to thin the paint a bit. Tends to go on smoother . Great job though . Ignore haters . You did really well .

That's good enough, but remember that this kind of paint isn't so strong as a real 'hammer' paint, so you should renew the paint from time to time. But it's much easier and cheaper than regular paintjob, I think that's not a problem. I tried the same at the motorcycle tank, and the result was pretty good. I used brown color with golden glitter, I think you know this color. It's pretty widespread and commonly used for metal doors, safes, and so on. I achieved a rat look on a bike with a stable surface without a scam, such as obtaining real surface rust with a salty water solution. I think you may try to paint your car's hood and roof with the same color next time and get a fresh look, without that annoying color difference.

you need help

She’ll be right I say!

Top job, I did that 40 years ago on mk3 cortina, fuc* em

Looks alright to me gwork lad 🌞

Nice Edit: 3 coats but how many flies?

I've done this on a few, I thinned it out and it flattens out better.

My mate did this to his car and it was good shine and colour was great

That's impressive. I used to re-paint my microcar and my friend's moped with a cheap compressor and pistol and your job turned out way better. You have way less of orange skin than i created lol. Did you buff and polish it after or left it be? The only thing you missed tho is that you didn't use the plastic primer on the bumpers before painting, so i'm afraid it's gonna start peeling off rather quickly. You always need to use the plastic primer for plastic so the paint sticks. Cheers mate.

If you are not looking for a perfect job then why not? At least as you say it is protected from rust. Well done 👏👏

good job! the peugeot looks a lot more fresh

It,a not a roller or is it NOW. ?

Roller stripes..... thatll all buff out.

better than nowt

Too many wouldnt for fear. Good on ya

If you're keeping it who cares it looks good in the car park, and if it gets dinged who cares just repaint it jobs a goodun.

Not bad for a cheap runneround. A complete respray from a workshop would be a hefty bill. 👍

Looking good 👍 if you let that harden up & then T Cut it , it will come up like glass .

Try avoiding re-rolling over the coat ... watched as you did it on the hood... paint already sticky by then. Looked alright though, even better at 60mph 😂

The paint is coming off because that looks like an accident damaged car to which the paintwork has been incorrectly applied

Seen it all now lol whatever floats your canoe

Not bad. Paint the whole car. Get some sand paper on it an buff it up..

I can't believe how well it turned out. I painted a car years ago with the old type hammerite hammered Finnish. It looked really good and in the sunshine it looked 2 tone ✌️ what an amazing job

Car paint is an epoxy with very strong UV properties, hammerite is an oil based paint that will fade very!! quickly, and red is the worst colour for fadeing

WILSON !!

I think it looks great 👍 do the wheels with white hammerite too.

I did an Astra bonnet with a gloss roller, I compounded and polished after a fortnight, I couldn't believe how well it turned out. "Keep on Rollerin!"

We used to hand paint cars using a fine paint brush and Valspar enamel gloss, with a litle experience you cold get pretty good results, also we sometimes mixed the paint 50/50 with polyurathane varnish for the final coat, they really did shine. lol

i would have used a mohaire or mofab roller for a nice smoothe finnish also thin the paing and dont over roll for too long

Nice work i thought it would be bad but looks good well applied. Did you use masking tape on roof good result for 40 quid hammerite takes forever to dry

i had my doubts but hay if it works it works nice job

Your video has got me thinking... what if you were to heavily lay some paint down using the roller and immediately after spray it (carefully) with white spirit from a pump up spray bottle? To much and it would run but the right amount could cause it to "level". I might have to give that a go myself! Would be great if it worked and saves buying spray equipment and masking off properly.

'Theyre gonna know, How would they know. Theyre gonna know'

Lol seen it all now but if it works it works don't look to bad there fella let dry and wet sand it flat happy days

I’m doing my merc in a few weeks as the mot is due in December anyway so I don’t care to much as its not going to pass anyway

If it works, why not? Nice job, a tip from me: don`t use a foam roller next time but a short hair roller for glossy paint. You will be amazed about the result.
