That just blows my mind. I know a guy who painted a welding trailer with a brush and it looked OK, would have never thought about painting a car with a roller.

my 66s entire frame, cab floor, firewall, and stepwells all done with por-15 and a brush.cant tell at all.
i used the rustoleum hammered metal paint on my bed inside ,bumpers , and wheels. a roller on the bed floor and brush on the rest ,same thing cant tell.all sorts of scratches in my bed from hauling stuff already but $20 will buy another can and a new roller.
used rust oleum in spray cans on the rest.i can tell because i did it and the bad spots irritate me. not many of them and most folks cant even tell.
i have a compressor and paint guns now so when it wears out i will redo with something else.

I used Rust-Oleum, but I got the quarts and sprayed it with a spray gun. not bad for my liking. 1 1/2 days and $80.
