But realistically I used less than a gallon of paint on this truck ($40.00), bought a gallon of paint thinner ($10.00) and got my foam rollers at the dollar store (3 for $1.00). So the initial painting of the truck is not that expensive.

It does take a lot of time to go through the various steps, but it is the winter and I hate the cold.... ha.

BTW the color was medium blue. Plan on painting the C50 bright yellow.
You painted that blue truck with a roller?
