This site was made to show the progress of painting my car using 4” high density foam rollers. The technique uses thinned down yacht paint, rollers and a lot of sanding. The results I’ve achieved so far can be seen in the other pages via the menu at the top. The technique was first brought up on the moparts forum by a user named 69chargeryeehaa, so all credits to him. Enjoy.

5 Apr 2008 - I've noticed a lot of traffic to my site and I've received a couple of emails about the paint job. I think what I'll do is put up a guide of my paint mixture, method of sanding, and my general experiences to help out anyone else that is looking to take on this method. Cheers for all the comments I've read in the various forums that this site has been posted on, I never knew it would get around like it has.
