Rustoleum has been successfully applied by spraying, rolling, and foam brushing. The last two methods are accompanied by rather a lot of sanding. Decent results can be gotten by all three methods. Rolling and brushing are popular with people who could never spray paint a car because of where they live and/or where they can park the car to work on it. Another plus is that unlike a base coat-clear coat type spray paint job where things must be done within certain time frames, a Rustoleum roll and brush job can be started and stopped at the painter's convenience. | Rustoleum has been successfully applied by spraying, rolling, and foam brushing.

The last plus to Rustoleum is that it is "cheap" and widely available. If you are considering using it, it is highly recommended that you expend a few dollars on some to experiment with first. Take it home and apply it to something like a lawnmower in the same way you would to your car. Sand it, polish it, wax it, the whole thing. Then study it very closely and decide if this is something you indeed want on your car. | The last plus to Rustoleum is that it is "cheap" and widely available.

It does not make a good "base" nor is it easy to remove. |
