In case you guys still haven't seen this.

I saw a C3 that was done in yellow, I was impressed, but not enough to do it to Cambria.

I am however going to spray the Neon front bumper with this stuff. Not roll it on, but I'll use the same paint because I'm cheap. And it's a Neon.

Done with a foam roller.

Not bad. Might have to try that on the fenders of the truck.

it's all about the thinning and the wetsanding. How old is your truck? Is it white or black?

I did it, I used the $8 Home Depot paint. I had to thin is a lot with acetone. I'll let you know how it looks tomorrow.

I didn't think it would be difficult for you to spot, especially because there's a pic of everything but it masked off right above.

Just trying to show how nice the Home Depot enamel can look if sprayed on. Very economical and a good idea for a DD that gets hit parallel parking constantly.
