[@scottprofitt1065]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@DatMaddahFaka]

​@timsolomon8352 let it harden and gas off completely before applying clearcoat.

[@INDAPINKSHOOTS]

In Detroit area used to be a shop painted whole cars. Earl Schibe - “ I can paint any car any color $29.95 “ back in the 1960s If you took one in already prepped up and taped off they put some good paint on it. If you let them do it all , good luck.

[@bertbckrs3524]

should use hardener, makes it glossier and of course much durable...

[@TheREALOC1972]

Hardner makes it dry too fast and makes it brittle, a little thinner is o.k. but hardner makes it too hard.

[@jeffjenkins9529]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@thatguy6828]

I sprayed a 1 ton truck with rustoleum in the white years ago and the only problem I found with it was it looked like it was fresh out of a hospital. I came back and did some red and black pinstripes and that was tons better, to me. Very nice job though and for the “hospital” white 😂🤣 it does look great. I give it a 5 for the work you put into it but the color I have to say it’s a 3. Just my opinion but it needs something else with it to offset all that white. To each their own, right? Awesome job though

[@ganeshnarayan5505]

I'm getting ready to do this on the 2008 Impala I just bought, I live about halfway From Phoenix and Tucson and the sun has absolutely destroyed the paint on the top half of the car so since it already needs painted I'm going to 2 tone it, from the top of the fenders down I'm leaving it the factory Precision Red and from the top of the fenders up I'm going to paint silver but not the regular silver, I'm going to buy a pint and add a quarter pint of black paint in it then paint it I want it darker than the silver aluminum color but the other silvers they sell is too dark so I'm going to custom mix my own color.

Too bad nobody has a garage like this in the UK to actually do this job. Only paint I ever trust to spray is clear here just because at least it won't get white splatter on everything else in the wind lol. Only ever use rattle cans too, headlights etc. I literally rolled on the metallic paint on the bumper of an old suzuki recently because of this just because there's nowhere to really spray red here. Looks nowhere near correct close up but give it 10ft and it looks good at least compared to having all the paint peeled off.

Awesome thanks for the video, shit in the dark with the question I’m about to ask , on getting a reply , anyways here goes, prior too painting, what paper do you recommend smoothing out the primer that’s still in the vehicle, so number of grit to prep last time prior too painting, second is what pressure is good too run off the compressor, and is there a certain size compressor or will any decent one do, appreciate your time thanks again, watching from southern cali

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I would say you ideally want to use 220 to 320 then prime and wet sand with 400 or 600 any higher and the paint doesn't stick as well. As far as compressor size a smaller one is fine but if your using a small compressor use a lvlp gun low volume low pressure and be mindful of your pressure while your painting around 22 to 26 psi max is ideal for most set ups hope this helps you and thanks for commenting and watching

Nice job brother. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@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

[@margarito-yv6np]

That's what I'm talking about! Awesome!

[@vegasfordguy]

Why didn't you fix the dents before spraying? This is something I've noticed with the Rust-Oleum paint jobs on KZbin, nobody seems to do bodywork. It does look pretty good for $60 bucks for sure.

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

Looks good. I painted a truck in my driveway and it came out semi respectable

[@bjschrecker7893]

We use farm grade point never had no problems

[@cherubinyo8651]

Can you reduce with speedokote universal urethane reducer SMR870 ? I seen you mentioned that you can use speedokote clear afterwards. Just wondering about the reducer, I've got quite a bit left over from a previous paint job. Great job by the way

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes I've seen many ppl use reducer to thin Rustoleum without issues thanks for watching!

[@davidlaws1438]

Looks great man, Awsome job, hopefully this spring I'm going to be trying my luck painting my 2000 Grand prix, black. Watching your channel for tips, Thanks 😊

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?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I'm actually using an industrial fan that my father acquired from a building that was undergoing renovations before that I was just using a typical tractor supply 32 inch fan with the door cracked LOL but hey we all have to start somewhere right thanks for watching

[@floridagunrat1625]

@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS Thanks for the fast reply! I just subscribed and was watching one of your other videos when I saw the squirrel cage blower style fan. I'll definitely be watching and learning more from you, thanks Rat

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

@floridagunrat1625 yeah funny thing about that one the previous one blew up on me during one of the paint job videos so I had to upgrade LOL

[@LSEtrucks]

Good video, would like to see a more in depth video of how to mix, the 70-30 method isn't really accurate depending on what mixing cup you have. Is that. 1.1 paint ratio or something else? Good video tho. I painted my nova with Rust-Oleum but i feel it could have been better. Just looking for more paint advice

[@mcalvinscott]

I did my 71 beetle same way. But i wanted a custom color. I bought mixing cups and measured parts of navy and silver. Wound up with a light metallic blue. Did it 50/50 with acetone. Painted it in a garage pushing 100°. That paint dried hard as a rock. And no need to wet sand and polish.

[@pcorf]

I agree. I painted a pair of speakers in an oil based gloss black. Took a few weeks to fully cure but now you just cannot scratch it. Very solid paint.

[@danielkoch6815]

When I've brushed on Rustoleum white directly out of the can, I found it yellows over time. Will that happen here?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I've never had any issues with it yellowing now I have seen issues with people using certain microfiber cloths and the color from the cloth bleeding onto the panel and then coming through in the paint that's why I don't use dyed microfiber cloths. Aside from that I've never had Rust-Oleum yellow over time I have seen clear coat do that though

[@vdubing01]

Is there orange peel to deal with?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

The orange peel actually settled out pretty well once the paint job dried if you want to check out the follow up video in the description where I do a full walk around thanks for watching

[@kitschunpoppedcorn8706]

I've been spraying my service vans with that paint for 20 years. The only problem is it turns a yellowish shade of white within the first year making touch ups noticeable.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yeah you can get by doing it dirt cheap but I always tell everyone if you want to last add hardener and do a 2K clear over it thanks for watching

[@freespirit1975]

Is this rust paint really intended for and therefore good enough to paint a car? Would it be better to just buy paint from Eastwood or some other vehicle paint company.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

It really just comes down to what you're trying to accomplish if you just want a basic color and a quick cheap paint job Rust-Oleum works great now if you want something more with a factory type metallic finish then going with an Eastwood single stage kit might be a better option for you it really just depends on what you want out of your paint job thanks for watching!

[@jagerk9]

How long should you wait before you wetsand and polish? Painted with hardener and acertone and I have some orange peel.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I would give it a week before you go polishing on it The longer the better thanks for watching!

[@81darkrider]

Know I’m a little late to the party but what’s your recommendation if you can’t get away from high humidity I live in Oklahoma and the humidity is always high

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I know this prob goes without saying but I would say try to spray early morning before it gets too bad out I would add an enamel catalyst hardener from tractor supply and depending on the finish you get you can always go back after cut and buff it hope this helps thanks for watching
