A few responses to questions I've gotten so far.... Orange peel due to humidity and kit uses a standard hardener using the upol clear coat system. I recommend using Speedokote 2k urethane clear coat system with optional activators best for the money with Rust-Oleum! I did 2 coats of base 5 coats of clear using just two quarts of the paint and 3/4 of the gallon could easily do a bigger vehicle or all the jams and sorry if the music wasn't for everyone's taste and or too loud! Thanks for watching everyone 😎👍

[@mathematicsuccess]

The music was perfect for the job and the car in my opinion.😃

[@user-iy6vi6rt4v]

The music got that Stevie Ray Vaughnish kinds vide goin… good choice

[@BarryWeaver-pv6cz]

what music bro?

[@RonnyFakename]

old retired painter, looks fantastic for what it is

[@user-yc2oz8kc5k]

You should put an IROC skirt kit on it and IROC rims too. That blue is unique and is well painted too.

[@robertdiehl9003]

Got to say it a second time : looks absolutely awesome. Hard work and love of labor paid off....

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Thank you I appreciate you watching!!!

[@MikeCope-uz5jx]

I like the way you do things and you're a lucky man having your wife interested in helping in a shop is rare oh and the music is fine😊

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Body icing or glaze is so much nicer than the old red lacquer based glazing putty.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yep I love it as well!!!

[@kennybrudnicki]

Awesome video. I need to point out may help you and the audience. The humidity isn't as big of a factor in this case, but the temp. is, of course. The main reason for orange peel seems to be that you used a spot panel clear, instead of an overall clear. Spot panel clear is meant for small production jobs, and sets up quicker. It has a shorter open time, and will dry quicker. Just trying to help brother.

[@hanknipper3921]

You’re a artist Jonathan great job! I bet your dad is gonna love it brother

[@OVRCOME]

Dude, that’s an amazing transformation!! I know this is a LOT of work but these videos are the best brother!!

[@timothymiller7461]

Beautiful I bet your dad would love that.

[@BarryWeaver-pv6cz]

I love creating my own custom colors too. I just mixed smoke gray and gloss black about 50/50 and it made a beautiful dark gray. And a little hardener makes a huge difference too.

[@thh420]

my dad used to paint tractors, vehicles, sheds, guitars, guns, the toilet and shower floor in our shop, the fridges, our lifts, etc, with that paint with catalyst reducer and hardener.

[@kerbygator]

The good shit. Polyurethane .

[@BarryWeaver-pv6cz]

Yeah I have painted bathtubs and tub surrounds with it, putting it on with a foam roller. They look like brand new for about $20

[@mattcrotts8370]

Nice work, excellent budget friendly paint job. The pearl really sets it off nicely. Can’t wait to see it finished and in the sunlight!

[@kiwidad5000]

Looks awesome dude!!

[@stevec5657]

I've gotten hooked on Finish1 FC740 clear coat. A slightly thicker, high solids clear coat that can take a bit to cure, but it levels out beautifully. Last 3 jobs I've done, I got great off the gun results with zero cutting and buffing required.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I'll have to try it for the next project we sell it at work I've been meaning to use it but I saw this for a little bit cheaper and figured Id take a chance thanks for watching!!!

[@davidharrison8397]

He's right acme 740 is good stuff for the $$

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

@davidharrison8397 I'll definitely have to try it soon

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

@1982MCI it's all good man I don't mind at all I have said many times on the channel I currently work at a Napa paint store so I have developed a decent knowledge of automotive paints as well as on the enthusiast DIY side of things I've been doing Rustoleum paint jobs with clear coat experimenting with different combinations for about 10 years and painting in general for about 20 yrs thanks for watching!!!

John, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.. Don't worry about the neasayers. BTW the music is fine. You're not going to please everyone. I know you put in a lot of time, money and effort to make these videos. I have a channel and was going to make videos of different stuff i build but too many a- holes and people who wouldn't do it this way or that way. It's your channel and you provide a great service for people like me. The ones that can do it better, show us your KZbin channel and videos. Once again,THANK YOU. PS. Nothing wrong with good advice that some give. We all can learn something every day.

[@BrianLChristopher]

Excellent video. I’m wanting to do this exact paint job for a car and this is perfect. I’m looking forward to the cut and buff video. Thanks!

[@monkeyking819]

a good wet sand and buff will make that thing perfect.

[@mildredhouse9873]

Great information! I’ve been messing around painting some vehicles with rustoleum and it’s great to see how others do it. One thing I do differently is use mineral spirits instead of acetone and a small amount of hardener. I feel like I get a more consistent and faster drying time and the fumes are much less harsh. I’d suggest giving it a try sometime and see what you think!

[@ToddMcF2002]

Post after you cut and buff. After all that good work don't end there!

[@JeffBarker]

I used rattle cans on my 84 Mazda b2000 going on two decades ago, I went to Big Lots and loaded up on Red Devil cherry red spray paint and disassemble the entire truck and did one piece at a time. It's still looking pretty good with the exceptions of a little bit of fade but I'm thinking it's about time to redo it. Rust-Oleum is definitely a better quality paint and it's longer drying time makes for a better look.

[@Djsatile]

Looks good 🔥🔥🔥

[@dardenvern]

Either way the vevor can breakup the thickest materials. This is similar to doing candy with the glossing base. Good work withe the environment you had to battle

[@martygonazga8732]

Camaro came out awesome great paint job I also use Rust-Oleum to paint a 51 Chevy pickup truck also use clear coat keep up the great work thank you

[@lindawhitley3776]

Wow amazing work, Dad is gonna love it ❤

[@FE428Power]

A few months ago I found that upol clear for $30 on sale, I bought 6 gallons!. Then $33 for the slow harder (Florida). My results differ. I can handle it in less than 2 hours (I've done one). Then set it in the sun and I can cut it the next day. Also, found I had to turn the pressure way down to 18 psi and it seems to lay flatter.

[@tossedsalad5532]

Put a Number 43 on the Door. Race it

[@dardenvern]

SAND with 800 on the clear and reclear with 2 coats of speedokote smr 42 and it will look like a high end job

[@VinceCarroll-g1w]

I've seen you spray a ton of panels, it's nice to see you spray a car.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Great work love the videos keep them coming

[@ronnieeutsler8210]

It's beautiful!!!! I wanna do this to my 3rd generation

[@MikeMikewaz]

Paint turned out great. Just my opinion, the car needs a little more contrast. Maybe Stripes along the hood or an old school 80s graphics on the bottom of the doors/fenders.

[@JLewis-el7hd]

Looks great

[@wjye]

I personally think that looks awesome. I’d bet with a wetsand and buff that thing will look even better. Nice color amigo.

[@billymasoner3735]

Looks great man, but we’d REALLY like to see it after the cut and buff also! Please bring it back!

As always fun and informative love way ya expanding on budget paint with high-end results

I cant find where I commented before .. the clear coat for a full respray you need to use the 720 not the 740 ... the 740 is just for a panel .... the finish 1 that is .... and its awesome !

At 15 1/2 minutes I can see the orange peel from 5 foot away. Hopefully he put enough clear on there that you can cut and buff it and make it look better.

Need to make sure you wet the pavement before spraying the car.

You do not mix body filler or putty on cardboard , because it sucks out the oil and resin , use metal plate or plastic.

[@kennybrudnicki]

It does not suck out enough resin to matter.

It looked awesome sir again you knocked this 1 out of the park.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Thank you I appreciate you for watching!!

[@skilledshots7200]

Just a friendly tip, next small project you got going in that garage, try wetting the floor down before spraying.(not puddles wet) but wet enough to keep down existing dirt and dust that is on the floor while you are spraying & walking around, will also keep dried overspray & debris from getting kicked back up while moving around projects. It will also help with keeping the air temps down on hotter days. Good video, Good Luck!

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I appreciate it thanks for watching!

[@Spiritof_76]

Instead of wetting the floor, I put a little simple green in my mop water and give a good mopping before rolling the car in.

[@mindeloman]

This is actually not good advice. Look up how enamel paint is hydroscopic (it absorbs water). The worst thing you can do is introduce humidity into the environment. This is why manufacturers use dryers to make the paint environments as humidity free as possible. Don't take my word. Read up on it.

[@Spiritof_76]

@@mindeloman It's to keep the dust on the floor from kicking up into the paint. That's why I mop before rather than hosing down the floor. Hydroscopic is something used to see under water. Hydrophilic or hygroscopic might be the correct word.

[@robertfontaine3650]

Camera makes it hard to tell what it looks like. Is it pearl or is it orange peel. Will be nice to see it in daylight after a polish.

@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKSnot far from tar heal blue either

[@msk3905]

Ok this you tube so as someone who never painted a car here are my two cents. Good job but I personally couldn’t live with all of that orange peel so would wet sand and polish. Blue is my favorite color but that is too light, I have used rustoleum to paint a few bikes and always made a custom color so I would have mixed in black to get the color darker blue. Lastly, not a fan of all one color cars you really some contrast color so I would have added either some black or their smoke grey to break up the blue. Maybe to just the spoiler and deck lid wing? Still not bad for a $160 paint job.

[@James-zw4tn]

@@msk3905 it's actually good for a 160.

[@webmastersof]

This rust-Oleum safety blue color looks a lot like the newer color called rapid blue. I wish I had swatches of each so I can see how close the colors actually were they look like they're pretty darn close

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yeah it's a very poppy pretty color That's for sure thanks for watching!!

[@bentabor9410]

Call it Whitley blue!

[@marksr49341]

Do you always intend to sand and buff that orange peel? I do like the type of shine of that clear. The last time I was involved in my dad's bodyshop, he was spraying Imron epoxy. A blue like that back in the 80s would have been $200 to 300 for just the coatings. Reds could easily run $400 to $500. Sothatz great to know that you can make a car look good for that kind of money.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

That was actually a perfect storm of issues with the heat and humidity usually it's not that bad but definitely​ can be sanded and buffed out. We'll be back on the Camaro soon tho so stay tuned!

[@jumpinjojo]

I would have not used Rustoleum as a base coat. It’s oil based and takes too long to dry. It also left an orange peel finish, so the overall finish after the clear was sprayed is not flat whatsoever. You’ve got your work cut out for you with a lot of cutting and buffing.
