I just did my 58 in PPG Ralleye Black, single stage enamel. Makes the Blitz Black look grey when side by side.

you don't want my advice then, a pint of gloss, a pint of flat, mix it together, good foam roller and some cardboard to cut in around the windows, done in an afternoon

         Good advice     if hes going to wreck the car    might as well save bucks  

fatstax,
did you have something to do with a lime green roller paint job on a mid 80's Caprice Classic? Never forget that one on my street growing up. I swear the old man would paint it each spring.

Don't know about that one 58Chevy but he did have something to do with a green Ford truck running around our area for a long time .I once saw it on its roof ,dented the roof but never even scratched the rolled on Fatstax special paint. Ed

 i had nothing to do with that one but ive painted alot of cars over the years, some with le roller and some legit sprayed.  i might set up a paint booth this summer and do some painting.  i picked up a decent HVLP setup last fall. 

its my understanding the public can still buy the urethanes, only the shops have to spray water based unless things have changed

funnily enough I have pulled off some epic paint jobs on vehicles wit a brush and roller....mind you it was either satin black or army green so you can't really go wrong with those colors ! I used a small cloth roller every time . I spray most things now though with a HVLP gun but for some paints and applications I find rollers are best ! I painted a nice landrover 101 with a roller too !

 Wow that looks nice .....no satin clear coat then ? where did you get the PPG and what reducer did you use ?

Napa in Brantford is now carrying Matrix paint system which is solvent based but meets all the regulations for Canadian sales. Eastwood paint can be purchased through Frank at Hawks and brought into Canada no problem. Eastwood carries some flat black urethanes more than likely very close to the summit product line. I have limited experience with the eastwood paint but have used it with some success. Frank has used it a lot if I understand him correctly. He would be the one to enquire with.

Thanks, but it certainly was someone else's ride. The longest drive I've done since getting it done is from my trailer behind Cobo Hall into our ELTA display last week. 

I used PPG Fleet essentials 2K urethane  

Thanks hemi43 I painted it two years ago and there has been no fade and it is easy to keep clean as well. I am impressed for the price to say the least money well spent.

Wait Modfather, I think Hemi might have been talking about that SHINEY bumper or could he be coming over to the dark side. Ed
