$50.00 Paint job (http://www.rickwrench.com/50dollarpaint.html)

I gotta say looks pretty damn good for using a roller and a can of Rustoleum.

I agree, I've seen one that was done on a Mazda Miata and it turned out equaly as well.
I wont be doing it however, I have much better things to do with my time.

My brother is in the process of painting his chevette using that method. He did not thin his paint though as it is the non thinning type. He has alot of orange peel but overall it looks very good.

He likes his Chevettes, he's like me but with vettes. He has 4 of them I think. One of them is diesel though, so that's cool. It doesn't run yet, he still has that fear of messing with a diesel engine. It's a 1.8 ISUZU engine.
He wants to do a mid engine install using a 1.9TD but that's alot of work and time

Izuzu engines are fantastic. They are all over Asia. I'm considering importing rebuilt TD engines from overseas..
