Just wondered if anyone coukd point me in right direction regarding painting these items myself. i plan on rollering my van soon and was wondering if process is similar for the grill and handles but use spray paint instead? Ie flat back, high build primer, flat, paint, flat, paint etc? I do have black rustoleum too but imagine it would be impossible to roller?
Thanks

Rustoleum thins quite nicely with white spirit (to a consistency similar to that of single cream), then use a foam brush to apply - flats nicely.
