Thank you and keep on doing them can jobs #savetherattlecan

[@btibbs626]

I was going to say keep the bumpers black with the door trim and handles, but the end results looks wicked!

[@Mortimusmoose]

I did this to a Neon, and a Dodge Stealth. The Stealth is this same color, and went over a black primer, and it took 10 cans of paint to do the whole car. Looked great. As this guy said, about 4 years later, it started to flake and chip....the primer is still good though...its a good, regular automotive primer, sprayed in a booth. So at $4.77/can, the Stealth cost me $47.70 plus tax....and the $80 for the primer, but you dont have to use that primer, I just did. Coverage was fine, no tiger striping on either car, everything looked great.

[@GordonGreenCincinnati]

Maybe I missed it and you went over it in the video but I’m wondering why you guys did not use any primer this time

[@JamesDguy]

I don’t always use primer because the advanced formula bonds really well along with the other rustoleum products. I have done it for over 11years and haven’t had issues with flaking or chipping (unless it’s not properly sanded). It’s not always needed unless you are doing a different color on say for example the bumper being blue, fender is pink and door is red. You would want them all to match prior to paint being laid down or it might look really weird and different shades when the final paint is done. Prime it all grey or red or whatever and the top coat will be a different color. Hope that makes sense.

[@GordonGreenCincinnati]

[@gurjindersingh199]

I'm putting my eg on a homemade wooden tip over jig, and sand blasting it. I want to paint the underbody. I want to use rustoleum primer and paint, thinned with acetone and using enamel hardener. Would this be tough enough for an underbody or will it chip too easily ? I will be using truck bed liner over it in the high impact areas. The reason for painting the underbody in the first place is because I'm doing a full restomod build with a seam welded chassis.

[@JamesDguy]

Honestly if doing under the car coating i would get it all cleaned and properly prepped then use Raptor Liners Acid Primer and Bed Line it and it won't chip and will prevent rust better than rustoleum. Im not sponsored by rustoleum i just like their products but Raptor Liner Primer is WAYYYY better and proven to not let rust grow and bonds better than Rustoleum. For these basic paint jobs like this one in the video i prefer just Rustoleum primer but if you are to Bedline over base metal use raptor line you won't regret it.

I am not sure i only use 2K speedokote and Spray Max 2k clear. I actually never had these issues but i think its because i do it 5-10mins after its dry then hit it but rustoleum Advanced formula seems to never react even if i wait a week or 2. Wet sanding it key though

[@Kimchii]

It might be because the paint was already cured. Maybe if I reshoot it and start over and clear right after with the 2k clear it would work?

Also I have seen it last 4+ years without clear with no issues so not too worried about it. If it needs redone in a few years that still cheaper and easier than waiting on a body shop and paying thousands for the chance to pull out and get into a wreck because someone isn’t paying attention.
