Awesome job. I'm pretty sure I saw a blog of how you did this years ago, could this be true? I too have painted cars with foam rollers and Rustoleum paint before. In the nineties I painted an entire car like that, but it was not as nice as yours.

This was my 68' Lincoln Continental, I painted the roof to replicate the look of vinyl:

Not my car but I read the blog you are talking about and just linked the picture.
