planning on painting the roof of my van (tintop). its solid, gutters all rust free, and was thinking of normal gloss? Plan to clean, key surface and roller on...anyone done similar? any pitfalls of using normal gloss?

and seriously suffering after thinking i was 20 years younger and going to a nightclub last night :oops:

i had been reading it but it was all about using rustoleum...only mention of "normal paint" was it was not as good as it, was just wondering if it was worth using some of the paint lying about house or if i would be just wasting my time. Didnt want to ruin a great thread with a stoopid question... :roll:

I'm off to have a deep fried pizza for dinner - makes the mars bar the healthy option!

Rustoleum can be applied to metal, wood or glass fibre

Make sure you prep it though. As said before, no prep, no stick. You will need to clean and key surface for paint.
