Will exterior house paint work on my 1990 volvo wagon?

If you want to paint your car yourself, you would be a whole lot better off to get automotive paint like “truck and van” paint from wal-mart or any automotive store. It will take several cans depending on coverage and don’t paint it in the sun no matter how cool it is outside. Only use the first 1/3 to 1/2 of the can to do the flat surfaces (hood, roof, etc.) Take your time and follow the instructions on the can. This type paint has an adjustable tip that makes the can function as a spray gun would. If you pay close attention to scuffing and masking everything you will be surprised with the results. Be sure and repair any body dammage before you start. I have painted 2 cars this way for friends who didn’t have much money and they both have lasted several years and still look good. Use a light colored primer (grey) or the yellow will not cover the burgundy very well and show through. When you’re done be sure and use the top coat to protect the paint. Rolling and brushing is just a bad idea. The paint will not hold up and won’t look good either. If you need any further assistance feel free to contact me. Good luck.
