    Flat black front end.

    I started to paint my car using Rustoleum flat black paint. I used a roller and brush for the tight areas. I might do brushed trim to kinda tone down the contrast. It will be nice to have the car one color.

    This is just the front end. I will be doing the whole car, just need the weather to cooperate.

    What did you use for the major areas? Brush/roller? Looks good! Wonder how it will hold up...

      Roller for almost all of it. Just used a foam brush for the trim spots

        Looks good. Could look even better if you take some time and remove the pieces of trim around the windows and door when you get to these areas. Also getting the trim off the hood and the ditch lamp bezel is just a couple of screws.

        Are you getting rid of all the trim? How did you fill the holes?

          I took the headlight bezels out. I'll remove the trim from doors and put back. Not putting the effort into filling holes etc.

            Nice! I rollered & brushed the paint on my Dodge back in highschool. Yours came out much better than mine did. I never had any issues with it not holding up though except where I put it on too thick.

            Should look really good once you get the whole car done
