Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

    chalkboard paint hood

    what is the best was to rollerpaint a hood. i primed my ugly fading hood earlier and tomorrow i would like to begin doing a roller paint job with the chalk board paint. i have seen a member who had it done but dont remember a name. any suggestions would be great. i know i have to use a foam roller dont know if i have to add anything to the paint or just roll it on. thanks!

    There's a lot of information on this on some google searches... I've seen the best paint jobs taking up to 7 coats rolled on.

    I would prep it like you would anything else.. only difference is the method of putting the paint on.. and don't clear coat it.

      I practiced roller-painting a spare hood. It... didn't look very good. I was at 5 coats before I just gave up.

          I did one of my probe and my bagged s-10 like this using nothing but flat black spray paint. After I painted the car. I didnt wet sand it do it had some grit to it and chalk wrote on it problems. Folks at the car show loved it. I left a box of side walk chalk on it and a sign "draw on me". A hour later it was covered. After a few times you would get a ghost image where the chalk would sand it smooth, but a quick mist of paint took care of it

                    Ill clear it up a bit. You can get pretty good results on a flat paint job out of a rattle can. The way we do them is 8-10 coats, wet sanding after the last coat. It takes the "rattle can strips" out of it. For a chalkboard job you
                    Don't wet sand after the last coat because you
                    Need the grit of the paint for the chalk to stick

                        Just use spray paint. It works well. It takes awhile to cure. and needs atleast three coats i did mine a couple days ago.
