the green was done with aerosol cans, the black roof was done using the "50 dollar paint job" method using rollers and Rustoleum paint.

It's definitely not a professional paint job, it looks better from 5 feet away right now. I have still not even wetsanded or polished it.

I've been playing with aerosol cans for years though so I have some experience with the way they spray.

google "50 dollar paint job"
