Since my silver paint is terrible fargone, I have decided to repaint. And furthermore, with the "$50 Rustoleum roller method".

I hate to cange the original color (rustoleum does have an "aluminum"color) but I worry the metallic component will be blotchy.

Sooo....I believe I am going to do the dark red, it looks similar to later Porsche "Carmine Red".

I wonder if I should so the sills, etc? How far in should I go? Ill never get everthing silver. Should I just stick stricy to the shown exteior?


On a 1974 Super Carerra 911 I wouldnt be asking this question, obviously. But all said and done, it is a $3000 daily drive I just want to look nice.

Thoughts?

I'm going with a deep dark cherry red, roller or spray can, not sure yet. Have some body filler work yet to do.

Let me know how it goes, if it goes well for you I'll for sure consider using that method to repaint mine.

[ditch68]

Ill of course do some sort of thread to detail the issues and successes, lessons learned, etc.

I have used Plasti dip for lots of little stuff, but never a full car. I like gloss paint!

Gren, that would be pretty cool indeed! Twins!

Have you considered a vinyl wrap? Should be a similar amount of labor, and it's totally reversible.
