Warning Wanring! Rantanchorous reply approaching Will Robinson!!!
I get the need to be a RatRodder is strong within the Force especially in the LAtatoui system... but I'm still waiting to see one I like.
So what's the definition of successful?
No Tiger stripes?
The paint didn't turn to dust after 3 years?
Unless you clear coat it (there goes the 'inexpensive' rat look) your just putting cheap lipstick on a rusting _____ cause that rustoleum is really just a tight fitting sponge...
The look I understand but the method.... not so much.
for consideration:
24 12oz rustbombs from grainers = $145.00 (Guaranteed to fail in less than ten years)
1.25gal rts Southern Polyurethanes Inc Flat Black = 180.00 (shipped to your door for free) Made to last and look the same in ten years...
