You can add some acrylic enamel hardener and mix 4:1:1 it will dry faster and more durable

[@williambrindley2832]

Painted mine this way 18 yrs ago,,cover car on Ol Skool Rodz mag, Sept issue,2013 been in several mags,paint still looks good!!!

[@vincemajestyk9497]

I 100% agree with you. I would not thin that paint much below 70%. That Rustoleum is best sprayed with as much pigent or material as possible. I've seen the results of thinner coverage. BTW, Acetone is best for thinning for vehicles. Prep is absolutely the biggest part of any paint job. Came out really nice!

[@jimzivny1554]

I've never used 600 directly before paint, I was taught depending on the type of paint from 180-320 to give the surface a tooth for the paint to grab. Your paint looks good I'll have to try 600. I'm a lot older than you and learned when we were using Lucite Laquer, Dupont enamel and clear coat wasn't even a dream lol, in fact I still have my Binks No. 7 gun.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes I was always taught no higher than 600 because you need the surface to be able to grip the paint I grew up using Dupont and ppg paints as well.

[@greglamar1116]

Your not trying to remove the paint just scuff up the clearcoat

Many years ago when I was young, I painted my first Jeep with a Wagner power painter in a gallon of green oil-based house paint! It wasn't great my Professional Standards, but it was actually pretty good and that paint job lasted about 20 years! Not long after I painted another Jeep with the same green paint, but did a better job thinning it to reduce orange peel and get a better gloss. About 10 years later, I painted my Volkswagen dune buggy with yellow Rust-Oleum and was quite pleased with the results. About 10 years after that, I painted the cab on my dump truck with red rust-oleum. I was very pleased with how that turned out. All of this was done outside in the driveway or the backyard, so I had the usual problems of dirt and bugs now it's 15 years later and I've got about five work trucks that all need a paint job and I would like to make them all one color - Rust-Oleum Safety Red! I want to convert a garage Bay into a temporary paint booth. I am curious what you are using for a ventilation fan system to draw away the Airborne overspray?

I agree the pant jobs with oil base paints (Rustolium) looks good but get any gas on it and it breaks down

[@kevincutler8894]

2 to 1 mix ratio usually works well. You want to be 18-20 seconds on a zahn cup for viscosity. A good enamel reducer works better than acetone. Xylol is an enamel reducer if you don't want to use an automotive reducer. Add hardener if you wish. And please, use a strainer when filling the gun.

[@craigiefconcert6493]

Xylol = xylene? I have as wondering if I could use that. I have a can of it from when the nearby auto parts store closed and had a fire sale on paint supplies.

[@coherantbliss3483]

Great job doing your video. I like your ways of doing them and your attitude :). Just a FYI if you add a "WET LOOK" hardener to your Rustoleum paint it will come out shinier and much harder. I use the Mar-Hyde Wet Look brand by 3M. Yes it adds about $40-$50 to the total cost but well worth it. Yes there is a big difference. The hardener has the UV protection in it too which is important making paint last longer. The hardener also protects the paint from scratching easily. More shine, resistant to scratches more (harder paint) and UV protection. Peace P.S. I tried cheaper hardeners and they didn't make the paint shinier like the Mar-Hyde did.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Good to know, and thanks for your comment. Yes, sometimes I use Hardner. Sometimes I don't. I pretty much did this to show people. You can do things dirt cheap, if you have to thanks again for watching

[@dbc105]

Nice job, I wanted to point out the Rustoleum Topside Marine Paint. I used the Navy Color on my Vintage Race Bike and it works well. It does cost a little bit more than Professional but it says on the can there it is UV Resistant. Not sure exactly what that means but it might be something you would like to check out. The downside is the limited number of colors, but when it is just a base color like white it might be a good choice. Home Depot has a good deal on Rustoleum quarts some times when you get a 2/pk they will have a better price though you may have to order it because they may not have it on the shelf.

The thing I've learned about painting is mixing ratios are solid guidelines you can deviate from dependant upon your equipment, method, and comfortabilty of spraying.

[@webmastersof]

I have used rustoleum paint many times to paint cars. Rustoleum paint also works great as a base coat if you spray it in a satin Sheen and then use an automotive clear coat over it. Works great every time and very cheap and compared to thousands of dollars for a professional paint job

[@timsolomon8352]

Are some clear coats not compatible with rustoleum? As it's an enamel paint? Isn't there also a cure time before putting on a clear coat? I've always seen enamel lift and wrinkle doing that? Just curious.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes I have experimented with many clear coats that just won't work with Rust-Oleum paint period some wrinkle and some just don't allow the rustoleum to cure out underneath the clear however I've had no issues with 2k urethane based clears which is why I suggest Nason 2k urethane mult panel clear and speedokote 2k urethane clear as I've seen both work without issues over Rust-Oleum paint thanks for watching

I paint old high millage work vans with rustoleum all the time. I don't even use an air gun on them. Just a paint roller and some paint cans. I'm not working on vehicles that have to be perfect though. A lot of them are beat up body damage and dents. They're work vans. They always come out looking pretty good though. I would prefer to do the paint job like you did in this video but I work in a garage that is attached to a house and it has valuable classic cars in it sometimes. The owner doesn't want fumes and overspray on everything. It is what it is but Rustoleum works great as a cheap car paint.

[@zerozero1944]

ive used auto paint reducer , i took the risk and its what has worked for me vs acetone , the japan drier does gives a red tint but it does magically goes away a big relief , 2bh i do not ever recommend anybody out there to paint laquer on top of the rustoleum even if its dry which ive also done the paint will soften and peel off like plastic , glad the car came out but i had to re-done the trunk but glad i had quit that tire shop but then the owner of the truck wrecked the truck so basically i was off the hook , the biggest issue to be addressed and worth documenting was how to avsoid peel in edges specially if u have a business running i mean the paint will hold for 2-3 yrs then it will peel where the door plastic emblems that are like bumspers id did over came so from letting it dry and avoid lots of water and using bull dog , adhesion promoter , to just taking them out and painting on the side ., great video stay bless

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes good question honestly my combination has been the same process prep panels to 600 grit apply bulldog adhesive promotor in the foreseen problem areas I then spray the Rustoleum with acetone no hardener no extra additives no Japan dryer I then use only 2K urethane clear because I find that bonds best with the Rustoleum and gives me the least amount of issues long-term no shrinkage or reactions. I really don't do as many Rust-Oleum paint jobs in particular as most people think but for some reason everyone is comfortable using Rust-Oleum as the base and it does work well if you use certain combinations together. Most of the time I use Nason Automotive fulbase and do regular base clear paint jobs for customers. If somebody just happens to want to Rust-Oleum paint job to save money i pretty much just go over the pros and cons with them and realistically about two or three years if prepped properly the paint job is fine. I have had them last 4 or 5 years with little to no issues depending on what conditions the vehicle goes through in that time period but as you said prep is key and using a good promotor thanks for watching

Yes it can all the same as any other paint job just give it a week or two to harden really good

[@nickp3173]

@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS I would love to see you do a cut and buff on a budget paint job like this, perhaps with a metal or pearl paint.. To see how good one can truly make a rustoleum job look. That would be must see tv. Thanks for the response! It would probably be easier if you spray a clear over the rustoleum i'd imagine as opposed to cutting the actual pigment layer.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

@nickp3173 yes I plan on doing that in the future video and yeah you're right it would have a much better finish ultimately and have much better UV protection if you were apply 2K urethane clear coat to it thanks for watching

Is that single stage?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

You can pretty much think of it as a single stage paint but you can also add clear coat pearls all kinds of things if you want check out some of my other videos and thanks for watching!!!

[@davehaag8175]

On average how long between coats not sure if I missed that or not

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Depending on temperature about 20-30 minutes

Great video! I feel confident in trying this now. What is your opinion on painting a car outside?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

It can be done just gotta wait for ideal conditions is all thanks for watching

I’m fixing to do some correction on my car it has a faded fender new bumper and a repainted hood with orange peel. What should I do to prevent the orange peel? And fix my hood? Thanks.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Take your time with it make you have your gun set up properly be sure to do solid medium coats after the first tack coat and try to paint when it's not very hot or humid out that's mostly what causes the majority of orange peel thanks for watching

Great job!!! If you were to shoot clear over the white would you wait 24 hours then shoot it with clear. Also,do you have to sand it before shooting the clear?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

No I would just wait for it to completely flash off and then I start applying the clear coats thanks for watching
