Many people on the Honda-Tech forum (where I moderate) have tried this technique, with varying results. As with any paint job, the outcome depends heavily on preparation and how much effort you put in to the work. This technique is more dependant upon the final sanding and polishing, but it seems as though you can indeed achieve a decent result if you work at it. When you factor in the amount of time you need to invest, though, it may be more cost effective for some to just have an inexpensive Maaco job done.

30 years ago when I was in college, I had a VW Beetle that was also painted by hand with Rustoleum paint - and it looked pretty good! 95% of people couldn't tell that it was painted by hand. I've had a few Maaco and Earl Shibe paint jobs done back then too, and the Rustoleum hand job was actually much better (and far more durable, it didn't chip at all in the 2 years I had the car).

That is amazing!
I wonder if they have Ocean Blue?

how in the world did he pull that off without a booth? I tried painting some parts outdoors once on a previous car and I couldn't keep lint, eyelash, bugs, dust from collecting. Must have tried it three times before I had to attempt it indoors.

Lots of sandpaper and elbow grease??
