CHEAP 4Runner PAINT JOB Using Rustoleum paint!

[@408SPLKINGS]

Just some friendly advice : Respirator !! Loose the table, tires, wheels Move truck into garage more Plastic on floor, wet floor Run air hose over right shoulder, continue down your back thru your belt & leave some slack on hose so you can move around Paint starting highest point Left to right, top to bottom 15-20 minutes flash increments between coats hardener ? catalyst ? more thinner less psi Congratulations good first try

@@mitchandopolis2665 he wasn't being rude in my opinion, just giving good advice we can use when we repaint our ol' beaters and make em look fancy. I'm here studying to paint my Crown vic cop car using rustoleum Tan. Have painted before but it was PPG paint on motorcycles at a shop, never thought of using this oil based enamel for cheap paint jobs.

[@stevenshorten6184]

I've never painted a car before, but that sounds like pretty great advice from a pro.

[@danbasta3677]

​@@robertvanderbush737 That's what we're here for. To learn. Now the friendly helpful advice was just that, friendly, helpful advice. I see nothing wrong with the advice given, after all, we all can still learn something new.

@@mitchandopolis2665 it was good tips and they work

[@tiporari]

Good result man. Nice job. People can nitpick your technique or prep, but it is better than it was. If you're happy, that's what counts.

[@TheLifeTerm]

At minimum, do a 50% overlap. A little less air pressure ( you're using an HVLP gun. High Volume Low Pressure ). That gun is made to operate as pressures lower than 40 psi. Also, an enamel catalyst ( hardener ) will work wonders with Rust-Oleum. It's a bit pricey, but we'll worth the extra cost. Amazon sells a half pint for around $30. That said, you did a good job, considering your first paint job.. much better than my first job. 👍

[@peachtreee4649]

I did the same thing to 95 Tacoma but with a bunch of spray cans. Take your time with the prep, paint, clear coat, and buff and it will turn out better than you think. Drove for about 2 years and Dealer was impressed and took it in as a trade in. 😁

[@rockymtnredneck4888]

Gotta love that Rustoleum Smoke Grey. It's one of my favorites for sure.

[@steventure85]

Definitely.

[@SNOFLOFilms]

You should do an update vid of how it looks after a full cure with everything back on!

[@robertolivarez5742]

I put a minwax outdoor clear over the rust-oleum on my truck, it's been two weeks and is pretty legit. I got a vid on my channel highly recommend for a cheap paint job✌️

[@grandparolie]

Dude from before you started I knew it was going to come out good now wet sand it and clear it who knows you might be a born painter and be in the money. Congrats!! X

[@extremereclusefallows5779]

Some 1000 grit sand paper and some good polishing compound will make it look like glass

[@GlenJS]

I would suggest that you sand the truck down with some 1000 grit and then apply clear coat on top of the paint. You might be able to sand out some if not all of the orange peel that way and the clear will look much better after the sanding. Dauntless has some very good advice and you should consider it and the respirator is a must when you are painting.

[@amycyclenut]

In my experience, Rustoleum goes on best from a shinny/smooth perspective, with lower air pressure. The higher air pressure gives it that look you got. Also, like others said an enamel harder would make that paint hard as hell.

[@rubenwong9574]

Whats your measure ratios? For 20oz

[@WalterPidgeonsForge]

To cut the orange peel use mineral spirits instead of thinner.. allows the rust oleum to level better than using thinner

[@nelsonramos2218]

nice bro, you choose the right color for that 4runner 👍

[@johneric3886]

I love your quote, I should have started with the roof, but you know what life!!!!! Good stuff made my day.

[@scottsherman8356]

Some good advise on here. RESPIRATOR RESPIRATOR RESPIRATOR. In addition to those that said to start from the top and work your way down and from the center of your vehicle out... On all your body lines, your first squirt should be along those Body Lines. Then the top and over, down the sill posts. Center hood out. And don't sweat the run...EVERY painter has left his signature. I have taken them down a panel and let them drip to the floor. For a smoother finish, you can use a mostly reducer, with a little color in it and do what's called a fog coat over the whole car using the same technique, top to bottom. This allows the paint to flow together. But be aware of signatures, spreading something so thin on. And if you are squirting a metal flake paint, it helps to stop modeling. That's where you have the light dark streaks. That helps the metal flakes in the paint flow smoother between your Strokes. Just for future reference if you happen to do a metal flake. And always have Patience. )))

[@juantamayo4224]

I love the honesty in the video straight up and forward that's a thumbs up for me...

[@MTBTexasBikeRider]

Wow 😮 that’s awesome you did a great job 👍 I want to paint my 95 Toyota 4Runner Thanks 👍

[@DONphantasmo]

Great job, man. I just wish you used a better filtered mask. You are breathing in those fumes, isn't good for your lungs bro. But, great job none-the-less

[@matthewd.1474]

Romeo's Relics couldn’t spend $30 on a disposable charcoal respirator?... wtf.

[@therealsolo23]

Exactly what i was thinking. Even worse because the garage was closed

[@Fredfjs78]

Next time use thinner and enamel hardener and you will get much better results and alot less orange peel in your paint.

[@nathanyoung9491]

derf yerots how much thinner and enamel do you recommend

[@matthewkirkham8234]

What type of compressor are you using? Nice job on the garage do it yourself paint job.

[@reble_uwu3405]

is this stuff chemical resistant like if gas and acetone get on it it wont discolor?

[@AWIERD1]

Looking great! Be careful using carb cleaner unlike brake cleaner there's a oil in it that you don't want in your spray rig. Your better off using the acetone your using to thin your paint to clean your rig.

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I have a suburban i am going to do same thing too... It is a back up for a backup... I just want it 1 color and shiny.

[@Tortuga89R]

You could with a little work, salvage that paint and make it slick. Wet sand and polish with a good polisher and It will make that paint look great!

[@fresacholo1]

Great video, nice job on paint. Just the right amount of details not overloaded info.

[@John-ky9nz]

Great job how did the paint last and did you clear coat it

How's it look now a year later?

What was your prep before the paint job, as far as the sanding and primer goes? Stoked on your finished product!

[@kenmatthews6476]

Not bad. I think you should paint the jams too.

Rustoleum takes at least 2 weeks to cure. Looked great from the back of the bus! Best regards!

Shat size compressor did you use?

[@ericmayernick7804]

Nice job dude

[@dynoranch1205]

What psi did you run your gun at is it a low pressure sprayer i wonder if you went with a high pressure one would you of got less orange peel

[@rescuegarage7602]

About 45 if I remember correctly

[@wa-reviews2794]

How did the end result turn out, thinking about doing this to my truck!

[@BarbasLife]

For some reason offroad SUV's look the best with rustoleum paint.

[@steventure85]

Hell yea. I can't justify spending more money on something that's gonna get dinged and scratched.

[@junkyardsgarage]

I’m about to do my work truck and was gunna use the magic tractor paint from Tractor Supply but I think you have just convinced me to use Rustoleum instead. Thanks for the video

[@mattleonard5268]

I wanna paint my 96 3rd gen 4runner the same color with bedliner on the fender flares and lower body molding

[@slobo5568]

How did the paint hold up?

[@ElChris619]

Bro for your first time I think it’s good. I like the tires on it what size and wheels are they?

[@AWIERD1]

Wet sand with 2000 grit sandpaper to remove the orange peel, and add a clear coat!

[@slvrktman7824]

Nice...makes a Earl Schieb paint job seem expensive!

[@Jxrd99]

Im honestly so jealous you got a garage lmao. I seriously wanna try this but a roller job is realistically my only choice right now

[@daves2354]

If you have the paint thinned sufficiently even the rolled on rustoleum paint jobs can be of surprisingly good quality

[@danbasta3677]

​@@daves2354 You know your right about that. On my way to get groceries one day, I saw a man cutting his grass with a John Deere tractor and a brush hog. The tractor was a 1962 model and it looked like it was bran new. He told me, and I had guessed he hard to have painted that tractor with a paint spray air gun, and air compressor. Wrong. He mixed in thinner and harder in the green paint along with hardener and rolled it on his tractor. Man, the way it came out, so beautifully done, you could swear he spray painted it, but didn't! He rolled it on the tractor. Hey! If it works, do it!!

[@IronBlockChef]

That music was awful but enjoyed watching with it muted.

[@holybritches]

Yes, this music sucked bad.

[@natevanlandingham1945]

"one thing I didn't get was a respirator, but I don't think I'll need it". Yep sounds like a good plan, painting in an enclosed garage! Check!🤷 I would at least wear a particulate mask and leave the door open.

[@ChewOnThatTruth]

Could I get a maaco paint job with this color? Looks sick!

[@BulliKid]

the most important thing, respirator you said you dont think you need it

[@jz2981]

Certainly brings 1st gen bang up to date!

[@scottwood799]

If you wet down tge floor and walls if you can it keeps dust down

[@carrascosgarage1450]

I did a rustoleum paint job but I accidentally got oil based so it took even longer to dry but it came out with some texture but I didn’t care, which is why I rolled the paint on 🤣

[@pistql]

Since you didnt cover the side steps. I would just rino liner them black

[@rescuegarage7602]

That's exactly what I'm gonna do! Haha

[@Beamerpwr]

Not bad job dude, I’ve got a 4Runner also in dire need of some paint. Did you do clear coat also or left it as is? Also got any updates on how the paints doing?

[@rescuegarage7602]

No clear. Will upload a video soon

[@TheBigern22]

am i the only one that thinks the tan color looked good on that

[@timthemechanix]

Dude, the music volume is lethal.

[@briannicholas4130]

Haha, Orange Peel Freakin Heaven! Laughed so hard... Awesome Job...

[@mikehammer4546]

Pretty nice fir a first timer👍👍

[@reowhite4862]

U got a lot of orange peal cuz u need to reduce it a little more and hold the gun closer and move slower

[@johnvanlandingham9143]

I applaud your efforts, but orange peel texture can be avoided by spraying slower and letting the paint flow

[@willandrews9741]

About 2 quarts only

[@ljaysperspective1775]

@@rescuegarage7602 no kidding thx i appreciate you getting back to me. Did you do anything other mods to it?

[@SurferJoe46]

Quit snapping the kinks outta that hose. It flick dirt and dust everywhere. ALWAYS start painting from top to bottom so the dust overspray gets melted into the paint as you get lower and lower. Shooting the top last, drops overspray on the lower panels that'll give you a pebble texture..... unless that is what you wanted.

[@DaddyyCrab]

I would suggest using a paint respirator, cartridge style. Don’t want paint in your lungs bro

Way to ruin a perfectly good video with music. Even if that was my favorite soundtrack ever, having to turn the volume down to 3% of what was a comfortable listening volume for when you were talking is just annoying.

[@gaijinbill8476]

I like the color 👍

[@compound256]

I used 3 to one ratio. Was way too thick. Shot out like batter. Orange peeled like your truck. I stopped and added acetone to my mixture. The acetone melted the orange peel and it layed flat. Your music mix level is too high too for late night viewing.
