FORD F250 RUSTOLEUM PAINT JOB HOW TO STEP BY STEP RUSTORATION PART 2

[@georgewashington1106]

For whatever it's worth, Valspar makes an oil based paint, similar to Rust-oleum, but the Valspar product can be tinted any color you want. If you go with Rust-oleum, you have to pick from about a dozen or so standard colors, and that's it. The Valspar stuff is called Anti Rust Armor. I welded up a utility trailer and used the Valspar to paint it the same color as my truck. Took the gas filler door off, went to Lowe's, and they color matched it with their machine. I was very happy with the result.

[@fredjones1238]

is it oil base valspar

[@georgewashington1106]

@fredjones1238 - it is, just like Rust-Oleum

[@HardWorkPaysPa]

@@georgewashington1106 use hardener its like 2 stage hard

That turned out way better than I expected. That’s a clean looking square body

Wow good job! Nice color for that truck 🤙🏼 now I know which red I want over sunrise red

[@nickdan6400]

Awesome job man This truck is going to be a legend in the Rust-Oleum paint world

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Looks good for DYI Couple of small tips Once you turn your fan on.... start a draft..... leave the fan running the whole time' if not you're starting up a new draft / sudden burst of flowing air which will result in more trash/dirt in your paint job. Also leave the exhaust fan running several hours after you finish painting to prevent gas off/ chemical release settleing back on the paint resulting in solvent pop.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!

Man that's one beautiful truck....brick nose is the one generation I never had....looks great love the fact you painted it for your father

[@TheCarnager]

The second coat made that red so much brighter!

More than good enough for a work truck. Party on Dude.

[@coolcat7918]

Man looks good, bright.was gonna paint my truck red,kinda glad I went with smoked grey,mine turned out beautiful,o we pulled the doors and did the jams,, that was a pain in the...

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yeah it usually is but well worth it when you tear everything apart and do it that way. This was just a simple Rustoleum paint job to clean up the rust and preserve the truck thanks for watching

[@crawfordwice]

Man im at the end of the video now! Wow the red looks incredible. Your dads going to love cruising around with the window down with his arm resting on the sill. He is definitely proud of his son.

Your paint job suits the car perfectly and a fine job done. Thank you for the tutorial, it is appreciated 😊

Actually, the truck looks great. Nice job!

Looks awesome! What a difference before and after on the cheap! I’m sure your dad will love it

[@sgtyork9330]

I'm considering painting my 66 Chevelle with Red Rustolium. I have 2 full gallons. I mostly want to protect it from weather etc. I do need to do the bodywork first.

[@juanmcsweeney4503]

I have used this paint before on automotive applications. Follow the directions, thin it, strain it and spray several coats. Once cured, color sand, buff and polish and it will look beautiful and last many years.

[@hanknipper3921]

Great job Jonathan! Your Dad will love it I’m sure brother. Keep up the great work

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I still can’t believe how solid this truck is

[@stevef4304]

I would have splurged on some hardener. Worth it in the long run and more shine.

[@mattcasoni]

@@stevef4304 how much hardener? He mixed it 60/40 with acetone which I’ve done before but I would like to try with hardener

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

@mattcasoni One pint per gallon of Rust-Oleum of the catalyst hardener You can get it at tractor supply if you click my as seen on KZbin I have it on my Amazon store as well

[@mattcasoni]

@ thank you. I will order it from your Amazon link. Thank you!!

[@Danno74Z]

WOW! Fantastic Johnathan. I used a little bit of that hardener in the Rustoleum along with the acetone and it helps a lot but it does add to the cost as you mentioned. Nice Father's Day Gift too. You have a winner with this video.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Thanks for the great video, and the encouragement to do it. It would’ve been cool to see your dad‘s face when you gave him his pick up back .

[@ehcatsfaneric2211]

Awesome job buddy very nice look

[@fruitful7753]

Painting with these heavy oiled enamel paints you need the old canister paint guns made for this type heavy enamel paint. Top Loader newer style paint guns are made for much thinner acrylic type paints. You can't thin it down enough to spray correctly through top loader, I have tried. It will spatter small globs and orange peel a major problem also, no matter how thinned down you get it.. You'll be wet sanding a lot to get it smoothed out and shiny. Old canister paint guns are made for oil based enamels and lead based heavy thick paints. They spray a great pattern, easy to use with no splatter, or orange peel. A nice shiny wet look even dry. You can see it on the truck above in picture the orange peel and spatter.

[@ganeshnarayan5505]

Wow the truck looks awesome good job spraying Rustoleum.

[@heyallenify]

I just picked up a "truck of many colors" beater project, paint is definitely going to be one of the steps of this project... While red isn't my favorite color on a vehicle, it's definitely visible!

Man that is an awesome paint job you did. Red is my favorite color too. I like how you did some of the work in your flip flops 🩴 man. I am a huge huge huge fan of flip flops 🩴. That's all i wear around. I don't own a pair of shoes , socks , or boots because I have big & very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 sz15 6E wide ( which is very very extremely wide feet 🦶 ) with very very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. Flip flops 🩴barely & I mean barely fit on my feet 🦶because my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴 straps. Love how you did the work in flip flops 🩴man. Paint job looks awesome man.

[@thatguy6828]

@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS yes, I would probably give it at least a week as well considering it seems like rustoleum seems to take longer to harden. Although I have never used acetone to mix with it. I’ve always used mineral spirits. It seems like the acetone might allow it to dry quicker.

[@tntcustomchoppers]

you the man my brother looks awsome!!!!! my mentor

[@rongamble9884]

If your going to paint that way I would at least recommend using enamel reducer and some transtar wet look hardener if you can find it I think they still make it

[@leonpelao4806]

It looks great. How long does the Rustoleum paint take to cure? Also, can you clear-coat over the Rustoleum using Duplicolor Paint Shop Gloss Clear, and how long should you wait before applying it?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

If you add hardener into the Rust-Oleum paint it will cure out in 24 to 48 hours typically I would not recommend adding or using duplicolor paint shop clear it has no UV protection and tends to fall apart after a couple of months. I highly recommend something like finish one urethane clear coat or if you're looking something you can spray without having to mix they make spray max 2K clear in a spray can that works great with Rustoleum thanks for watching!

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes you can do clear coat over primer honestly it's pretty much the same as shooting it over paint if you use a gloss clear it'll be glossy if you use a satin or matte it'll be satin or matte finished I actually did a video on that one if you want to check it out thanks for watching
