The first pictures there outside are after 3 coats before I wet sanded for the second time. The last 2 pictures on paper are in my garage after the wet sand (got rid of orange peel) and I had rolled on another coat. It flattens out really well when it dries. You just have to make sure the rustoleum is as thin as water. It's a pain because it tends to run.

I rolled the first 2 coats with my friends this weekend on the rest of my car. Need to wet sand it tomorrow night and then maybe I can get in 3 and 4th coat this weekend. It's a total of 6 coats + or minus a coat or 2 if you wetsand down to the surface. When your all done polish it up.

The nice part is in addition to roll on they have matching spray cans for touch up. I hit all the parts that would be hard to reach first (lips on wheels, door jams, underside of trunk, underside of hood) with 3 coats of the can first. Then I'll polish it the best I can in places you can see. You can't tell the difference from what was sprayed and what was rolled. It's a very solid color. No roller marks either after you wetsand.

The only complaint that makes this hard is the sanding. It takes a long time to sand a whole car free of runs, and roller marks. The prep work was a bit long too. But it should hopefully turn out nice. I did all the black plastic on the car with black gloss rustoleum in a can a while ago it's been holding up nice and looks like it's brand new from the factory.

I do need to find a place to purchase the mitsu badging again though.
