Can you provide me a basic walk through with what I need? I plan on doing one panel at a time beginning with the roof (kinda my test section) .

My old 90' which I painted by roller with Rustoleum Smoke Gray. Prep, primer, sand, and rolled. Mixed 2/3rds paint & 1/3rd thinner. 2-3 coats.

i've done the rustoleum roll job to, can do it in any color they make, or if you remeber your mix ratios exactly can make your own color. to answer your question red is no more difficult than any other color

Its honestly getting to me...here are my choices in no particular order...can we get some votes?
Dark Army/OD green with black flares/trim.
Red with black trim and flares
Tan With black trim and flares
Greyish/Silver with black trim
I like yellow but I think its out of the question.
I like the OD green but the more I look at red and silver the more I like them. I just need some more opinions. Also gotta remember my roof rails and ish are chrome so I gotta paint all that junk too...door handles, rain gutters...its gonna be a project. Plus my windows are not tinted...so some colors may not look right.
