I've heard good things about Rustoleum products and wanted your input/opinions.

My finances simply wont allow a 'proper' shop paint job right now and was considering using this to slay the rapidly increasing 'patina'.

I'm still undecided whether to spray,brush or roll with rolling being the most practical for me,have any of you done this and if so what was the o/a finish like?

I realise it won't win any prizes but is the finish pleasing to the eye,i.e. no striping,ripples etc,does it flow out to a reasonably smooth presentable finish?

What's your take on this?

Thanks in advance.

John, I used it on my '38. I rolled the body and sprayed the fenders.
I diluted it 50% with acetone so it went on very thin. I wet sanded after each coat with 24 dry time using 400 grit paper. It took 4 coats minimum, some areas took 5.
After 5 years being parked under a carport, it's starting to lose it's shine. I purposely haven't polished or waxed it because i want it to get an aged look.
Take a look at my photos below.
