Proposed Color Scheme for my Wagon

I take this wagon to local cruise-ins almost weekly...it gets swarmed each time. Believe it or not - a majority of people (by far) say to leave it just the way it is... they really love the character it has..

I win either way I guess.. lol
Time will tell...still have zero money in this ecomony.

 

There is always this..

I saw an article in (I think) Hot Rod magazine a few years ago describing how they did a roll-on paint job on a project car. Way cheaper materials-wise and a lot simpler to apply. It even looked decent but apparently didn't hold up to the elements as well as automotive paint.

I actually painted a Vanagon using roll-on house paint. I just needed to change the color and didn't really care how it looked, so I just pretty much threw the paint on as fast as I could. Definitely a "20 footer".

 

Actually the paint holds up well if done properly. I read the Hot rod article and they skipped a lot of prep work and didn't use the right mixture.. Look at Stormin Norman Fairmont here. He did it and his car still looks great. BTW you can add hardner to it and it's tougher than Automotive paint.

 

Truth be told.. if I do a roller job... it would be like this...

I could do it in my garage and it truely is how I wanted the wagon to look like from the beginning...i just keep changing my mind. lol.

 

Get someone to photoshop it so you can see what it will look. Heck You can always just fix what is wrong and leave the rest. Or Buy John Lennon banged up 72 TC

 

Wow. I painted my Caprice flat black/rattle can for budget reasons, but (I think) it turned out WAY better. I actually sanded and primed, and taped off the trim.

This thing looks like a total POS. Way to do it wrong!
