Mixing Rustoleum Colors

Turn 4 colors into 10+

[@crippledbeast_U-toob]

Thanks. I appreciate you showing that Rustoleum mixes so well. I have been thinking about coming up with my own color and spraying my truck.

[@reloadnorth7722]

Excellent job of mixing and organizing. This knowledge is so helpful and priceless when attempting to custom paint without paying the ridiculously high prices for custom brand paints. Another great video.

[@dougtexas9075]

I really like the new blue you mixed. Be a good color for an old truck.

[@vegansinthewildover5023]

Wow, that blue came out beautiful. Thanks so much for this! I want a soft yellow for my camper, so I'll mix some sunburst yellow with the leftover gallon of white I have. Thanks again, great job. Very scientific.

[@VeryTucker]

Thank you! I just got into painting a few restoration projects and made the mistake of spending north of $100 on painting a table lamp with automotive products. This knowledge is what I was lacking, thank you again for sharing.

[@carsonkosier4010]

I like the pink you made it’s a lot better than the one in the spray paint can

[@johnmartensen4278]

This is exactly the video I needed. Thanks man. I like the blue almond mix

[@ddd3240]

Interesting. Enjoyed this. Always painting something around here. Paint is an insect magnet. Thanks for putting this out there.

[@sarahawana]

Adding almond to the purple sounds like it would be a nice color!

[@cherylvanepps66]

Thank you! I had forgotten how I mixed my Rustoleum colors to get the flamingo pink of my bouncy retro metal chairs. This was the perfect video to remind me! Would love to see the lavender too!

[@stevenwilson3368]

Rustoleum is not a bad paint. I've mixed them for pretty close colors I've wanted. I've thinned with mineral spirits and shot through my paint gun. Actually really good results.

[@devianb]

Interesting to see how the darkness of hue affects the color. I would have thought royal blue+ sunrise red would make rustoleums grape color, but its more of a burgundy or plum like you said.

[@theeaskey]

Interesting thank you for taking the time,,, I just painted my 2005 sprinter with satin white Rust-Oleum,with a roller, came out pretty damn good

[@mrjimshotrodbarn1686]

I really liked that sky blue. Was thinking of mixing the blue w white but almond and royal blue is it! Also want a Wimbledon white so I might try white w almond . I mixed the Hunter green w black and came out Nice . painted a volvo wagon with it

[@JohnSmith-xx1lx]

Really like the royal blue mixed with the fire red, I think you can really get the perfect tune with the correct ratio maybe 60/40 red to blue, instead of 50/50 excellent presentation though very helpful.

[@ronnieyoung7510]

John did it come out to be burgundy

[@nick011182]

I’d like to see that purple with the almond added. If that was a bit lighter, I think it would look real nice.

[@socksonfeet8125]

Royal blue with 4 to 1 black would look legit

[@oldowl4290]

For many years I've mixed 1 gallon of Rustoleum Gloss Black (not the kind made for metal specifically, but the normal one) with 1/2 quart of Rustoleum Aluminum for a dark charcoal metallic color. The key is make sure all the solids are mixed thoroughly as the aluminum especially tends to separate and you'll have a thick layer in the bottom. For hand brushing it I add 1/2 cup mineral spirits and for spraying a full cup of spirits. You'll need a 2 gallon bucket to mix them together and a tight lid for storage. Over time it develops a top skin layer that can be cut around the perimeter then thrown away so that you can re-mix and re-use. Lastly, you can add in 1/4 cup of silver, bronze, or even gold flake if you want a metallic sparkle. I build flight simulators (simsamurai is my site) and have used it on all my builds as well all my shop carts and multiple pieces of furniture builds. I've also custom mixed a dark bombay mahogany with black, brown, and red before as well an Espresso black with just black and brown and a touch of bronze.

[@GTsPerformance]

I couldn't find the aluminum at the local store. The nearest was about an hour away, but I like how cheap & easy it is to mix a custom color. And, It's also happened to me where the top layer of paint dried into a skin 😅 but there was barley any paint left so I threw it away. Thanks for your feedback!

[@domenicomonteleone3055]

@@GTsPerformance i like how you explain about the process that you are doing and about the paint you will be using GT HI 👋 from 🇨🇦 #YSW I hope you are having a wonderful Monday

[@holographictopiary]

This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for since I like using the quarts of tractor paint too. I just wanted to preview the color mixing of pretty much any obvious combo and this does that. One more thing though about lavender, how would I make lavender or periwinkle? I think not just adding almond, maybe pink too? I have a weird colored car I need to repaint but I want it more vibrant.

[@socksonfeet8125]

I feel you about the white cars on the road, there are waaay too many, white, black, and silver cars out on the road, it gets boring, hell almost all my neighbors have a white car. I stand out like a sore thumb with my giant lime green van :D

[@chrisandanna8265]

nice colours after mixing. esp the green, blue and pink

[@Stormmaniac]

This video is great! I'm trying to paint my car a certain orange but can't find it for the life of me, This video may have helped me figure it out..thank you!

[@a.pettijohn9867]

Thanks! Great information

[@wht240sxka]

Ive been wanting to do this for a while but at $13 a quart I have been procrastinating. Thanks for taking the plunge. I am going to go try this now. Wish me luck.

[@johnmahoney6663]

Duse, your videos are good.

[@resonence1]

One of the few videos I've found showing mixing rustoleum colors together. :)

[@user-ic4hn3qx7r]

Great technique. I see how you can get reproducible colors with this method.

[@miken.4693]

Got me thinking about shooting my truck in rustoleum - but in my own color mix. Never even occurred to me to mix my own!

[@GTsPerformance]

Ive painted several vehicles with rustoleum, and all under $50. I found these quarts on clearance for $1 each, so this latest "pink" Mitsubishi has been by far the cheapest paintjob I've sprayed. There's many mixes you can make to your liking. These are just samples of course, but you get the idea 😎👍

[@FknNefFy]

That’s cool how you set up the mixing. Smart.

[@FknNefFy]

Youre very neat and tidy and well planned.

[@jannagrigorieva7893]

Interesting and helpful! Thanks! I’m painting my cats’ toilet and wanting to get some sort of aqua color…using powdered pigment. But might go this route…tho I won’t need much of the dark green that’s out there. 🤔

[@jonathangehman4005]

Cool video! Really helpful. I wonder if you can tint rustoleum from a quart or gallon can by spraying rustoleum from a rattlecan into it and mixing it? Your place looks like where I grew up in S. Texas

[@cliffolds1089]

That purple you made looks real nice

[@giosgarage5428]

Did my ek in sunburst yellow with 2k clear earlier this year. Looks great with cf hood n bronze wheels 👌.

[@Celzot]

Great video. Helps me out a lot

[@bunnylou4993]

That light blue👍🏼

[@mustangmatt1987]

8.99 is a steal I'm paying almost $20 a quart in MN here! 😳

[@ksduathlete]

Blue and almond mix would look great on an old c10

[@GTsPerformance]

Yes, with white top 😁

[@lisam724]

get a color mixing guide it'll give you colors and what parts to use makes it easier then write on the can what you used for fixing it at later date

[@m.mooverssr9211]

Red and blue makes blurple

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

I like this video...I need to do some more mixing videos myself but I've been busy...I really like your videos keep up the good work...GCG

[@GTsPerformance]

Appreciate it! I like these type of projects myself, but also dont have much time.

[@bobglaid3737]

Id like to see you take your green and add almond The pink you made is nicer than the spray cans Nice video

[@kevingilmore5815]

I would definitely try the candy first because the silver is going to change the color of it and that's part of the effect

[@22GlocksRus22]

Have you tried mixing the hammered gloss black with a white to get a grey hammer texture look? I'm working on a project, curious to kno if it'll work. I ask bc there is only a smoke grey, but not in hammered look in quarts, I need it sprayable in air sprayer

[@opbfitness]

the green looks good 👍

[@gregshore7772]

Can I add a little bit of oil based aluminum to my rustoleum oilbased paint I'm thinking it would make a shimmer look. Thanks brother

[@kevinkev1530]

Cool mixes

[@TheodoreAndor]

Thanks

[@somdood3292]

that baby blue though i was thinking of painting my element jet black, but seeing that baby blue makes wanna change my mind lol im really curious what rustoleum black with black, white and silver pearls added into a 2k clear over it would look like

[@ronnieyoung7510]

Safety red and royal blue could you answer me what color it would be I'd appreciate it

[@dripzzz2003]

sunrise red would look dope

[@LizZARDofOzZ]

Thank you so much for doing this!! So what do you think would happen if you mixed the aluminum with a color? Do you think it would have some shimmer? Be safe and have a nice day!

[@rudyflores9395]

A bit of white color changes the tint in some of those colors

[@michaelyarmie4858]

Those colors are primary colors you can make pretty much any color with those 3 red yellow blue.

Creativity is a strong suit for you

[@GTsPerformance]

I had a Grug moment! (Croods) 😁👍 Thanks!

[@1Also]

@@GTsPerformance the brighter you paint it the more fast & furious it'll look...but if you can find a very dark metallic ( blue, brown, green, grey or maroon ) it'll look classier...more expensive

[@1Also]

@@GTsPerformance btw my vote is a combo of almond and bright red to creat your version of this images.app.goo.gl/2VdhtBJ29d7Bg31g7

[@McCanicScot]

For the light blue did you do 50/50 or what ratio

[@vincentwise4389]

Weird question: But I was planning on mixing 1 quart of rustoleum gloss royal blue, with a gallon of behr black low luster porch and patio paint, to paint indoor wood stairs. I'm looking to get a midnight blue color. Do you think its smart to mix those different types of paint?

[@paulhammerness8755]

Good video - thanks! Trying to match MGB primrose yellow - think Sunburst yellow and almond?

[@beaueginton7768]

Can you add gloss white to the leather brown to create a lighter brown shade?

[@Pallidus_Rider]

Any thoughts on a two-tone paint job? Almond roof, light blue body?

[@GTsPerformance]

🤔 that's a nice color combo also! I had my mind set on pink with black top, but that's why I enjoy reading thru comments👌 I'll keep it in mind!

[@Pallidus_Rider]

@@GTsPerformance Can't go wrong with pink and black. That is a classic combo 👍

Do you have any of that peral left was thinking that peral and like a snow white would look amazing together

Hey GT. Call me crazy but I like to see the lab rat in orange 🍊. I think it would look cool. That purple (lighter) would be my second choice. But hey. It’s your car brother. You’ll make the right choice at the end.

Great , well done video. I am refurbishing a lawn jockey concrete statue, and want to mix for flesh, using Rustoleum. Called them, they could not help, so will experiment. Where is this site you bought them from for one dollar ?! Continued success, health, and happiness. Good advice here, very helpful.

[@GTsPerformance]

Thank you! I found these quarts of rustoleum at my local McCoy's Building Supply. The store had discontinued certain colors, so I found them at clearance price of $1 each. Hope this helps, these colors mix very well. Some colors have lots of tint, so mixing in small amounts works. Good luck on your project!

[@asgio27]

@@GTsPerformance Thank you. Going out now, will experiment. Surely appreciate all your hard work in producing these helpful videos. Great help, actually gave me the confidence to proceed, knowing it works well.

[@Jiggy_Jayy]

Where did you say you got these QTS for $1?

[@GTsPerformance]

I went to Mccoys. They had stopped selling certain colors and marked them down for clearance, so I bought 12 quarts for $12.

[@johnmahoney6663]

I need to find you're spray system video.

[@GTsPerformance]

To this point, all my paint videos have been using a harbor freight, 21 gal air compressor with a Kobalt spray gun from lowes. This year (although slow), I've been working on getting my garage ready (electricity, shop lights etc). I just installed a 60 gal compressor and maxline air supply kit.
