here is a pqanel with gloss leather brown and gloss white. everything is done with rustoleum and a high density foam roller. I think it looks good for a 20 year old rig.

Looks pretty good. I plan to do my TT using the roller method also. Just purchased the same two paints at Lowes.

You need to resize the pics down to 800X600. They don't fit on the page, even on a wide screen. Makes it difficult to read posts after word. When you upload, photobucket can select the pic size. Otherwise you can just select edit and resize it.

FYI wils5150, if you edit your post and add the width=640 to the image tags, the photos will post to the size recommended by the forums. For example,

Beautiful paint job by the way!

I like the doggie viewing window just forward of your wheel.
The paint job looks good to.

yup Nascar did it myself a gallon of rustoleum gloss white, a pint of the gloss brown,high density foam rollers,a few rattle cans for tight reas, a whole lot of painters tape and finally time. work about 3 hours a night after work. so far I have about 15 hours into it. still have a bit more to do on the otherside.. should be done by next weekend if the weather is good here. the hardest most time consuming part is the tapeing. I figure I will have maybe $150 into it when I am done
