PAINTING THE F-150 WITH RUST-OLEUM

This is how I painted my truck with Rust-Oleum oil-based exterior paint.mixed with lacquer thinner and sprayed it on with a automotive spray gun.

[@DonaldWells]

That looks nice I am working on a 2nd generation Ford lightning trying to get ideas and colors great job love it. If anyone has any advice I greatly appreciate it. I have a tank and gun I'm thinking of going with Rustoleum paint. I just don't have the money for a 3000 dollar paint job at the moment.

[@rgrant6309]

Krylon has an implement paint in New Holland blue, you can just thin and spray or they have a catalyst hardener for a few more bucks to dry a little faster and give it a harder surface. Best of luck.

[@justinw523]

Dupli Color and another company has automotive paint that’s mixed up and ready to spray just shake and stir then poor it into the paint gun cup

[@edwinjlewis7405]

Your painting pattern is very good however, a resoprator is vital in these application. Your health and safety is your proirity!

[@chrisgraham2904]

Nice to know that the paint job on your truck will last longer than you will if you don't wear a respirator when spraying paint.

[@RandomBradCreator]

@@chrisgraham2904 , Yeah Damn Right ,Blow your lungs right out 🤮

[@gfrank8058]

I am a professional master aircraft painter of 27 yrs. I do not advocate spray painting without a respirator. Please don't spray anything paint or anything else without respiratory protection. Your lungs do not come with replaceable filter cartridges. Your painting efforts are admirable. Please for your own personal protection, use a respirator. You'll live longer. 👍👍👍🫁🫁🫁🫁🫀🫀🫀🫀

[@danbasta3677]

Yeah, I'm wondering whare this cat's respirator is at. He SHOULD be wearing a respirator here.

If you only ever paint a car once or twice you'll be fine. It would be different if you did it for a living.

I was thinking man , I must be a pussy, I used a respirator and still felt like i was going to die.

[@user-zp2fq3qr2k]

Sir, You put a new life to this truck, looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing. the technique snd experience.

[@jimurrata6785]

I think I would have started with the roof and the hood, then worked my way to the vertical panels where I could stand on the ground. I see others suggesting hardener. Corrotech or Valspar are common, there's a lot to be said for enamel that hardens all the way through in a day. But you're sprucing up the truck, and that looks much better!

[@anthonymaniz9896]

What would you recommend for a hardener for rustoleum

[@TORCHBROTHERS]

Nothing it's pretty tough paint. Plus you can sand it with a fine grit. & then polish it.

[@jimurrata6785]

@@anthonymaniz9896 I've used both the Corrotech and the Valspar with Rust-Oleum. Dries hard all the way through in a day and improves the gloss retention. My truck is OSHA Safety Red.

[@rgrant6309]

I bought the same paint and color for my 78 f150 back in 96, it was a nice color. I'm getting set up to paint my 91 gm with a Krylon implement New Holland blue next week.

[@brannondoolin8654]

Dang more an more im thinking about getting a cheap spray gun or two, then doing a rustoleim job like this. then maybe wet sanding to get the imperfections out. This turned out pretty good thanks for the vid

[@AlexKunstar]

Your spray technique needs some work but at least you gave it a go and went to town. For a work truck it's almost impossible to completely screw it up with an hvlp sprayer. Looks much better than when you started!

[@SpontaneousSubstance.]

Def an A+ for trying.

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Looks good, I like the color, great for a classic truck.

I do enjoy a good garage pain job, but please invest in a respirator mask before your next one. That stuff is horrible for your lungs!

I won't critique or chastise you for not wearing a respirator (you should)... I'll just say thank you for picking a color other than satin black. That Rustoleum blue is pretty dang close to the older Ford blue engine engine color. Nice choice!

[@davegallucci9327]

Yes, a mask is important! My wife is a respiratory therapist! Lungs r important, a mask is very important! Once the little fibers in your lungs plug up it's good night Irene!

[@randyanderson6110]

Not Bad! Overlap, distance, sweeping motion and speed. Your weeping distance angles go off toward the end of the panel, maintain gun squares and distance to panel all the way through the stoke. Your over all distance of each pass needs to be maintained. Overlap, needs to be constant 50? Speed of passes can be estimated by watching your wet edge. Think Like a robot.

[@garrybailey7939]

Being involved in Auto body yeah you start from the top. The way this man is doing it he's going to do the top last and throw all that over spray on the hood. He should have wet the floors help keep the dust out of the paint.

[@joepacheco4038]

I give you credit attempting to paint your truck here comes the but. --- start at the top , use multiple light coats, on the hood start from center out to fender. Eliminates belly touches and hose touches. Always be in a comfortable position and WEAR A MASK !!!!! I don't get why people refuse to follow the manufacturers recommend thinning products. Lacquer thinner is used when thinning lacquer paint THEY ARE COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER. Also good for cleaning.

[@ep2223]

I've done this and it's not worth it! It looks good at first, but won't last. Buy good automotive paint from a paint shop. It will cost more, but it will be worth it. With all the effort you're going to put in, don't waist it on rubbish paint.

[@percussion44]

I'm no safety nanny, but that looked like a pretty confined space, how were you not gasping on lacquer thinner fumes/vapour.? Need an airsource hood to wear, or do outside on a calm no wind morning.

[@anthonysinclair5721]

It's Rust-Oleum and you have to buy the base paint and have them mix it. The color is called Ford blue no numbers or nothing they have paint charts and it was just called Ford blue

[@jessemoss2548]

I did an 88 f-350 in nearly the same color. I used rusto rattle can and it was called sail blue . Just a shade darker than this video . Mine is sitting wet sanded after the first shot , this spring I'll clean it up again mask and shoot it again , then by July I'll be ready to buff then clear wait repeat , wait repeat! Working by yourself like the video is tuff in a cramped garage.

[@johnnycashh7148]

Looks pretty good for the HF special. Not sure if that paint requires hardener and not a bad idea to add some fish eye remover.

[@TORCHBROTHERS]

Thanks . I've never used hardener with Rust-Oleum it holds up very well on its own. As for fisheye never tried it with rustoleum and never had a problem with it. Didn't really want to add anything to the paint not knowing what it could possibly do to the mixture. Automotive paint definitely would add fisheye. the nice thing about rustoleum is if you screw any of it up just let it dry and wet sand it and give it a little respray in that area you can't even tell you fixed it.

[@johnnycashh7148]

Perfect, yeah I have used only automotive paint. Keep em Rolling!!

[@natevanlandingham1945]

You can add about anything you want to to Rust-Oleum. I have read people useing laquer thinner, paint thinner mineral spirits, Acetone and reducer. I used Acetone to thin it when I painted my trailer recently cause that's what a guy I been watching always uses on his paint jobs . I have seen hardener used as well

[@TORCHBROTHERS]

Good to know ! Thanks 👍

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

@@TORCHBROTHERS I've used enamel hardener with Rustoleum and it makes the paint very hard and durable. It also dries a lot faster. I painted one of my lawnmowers with it and gas doesn't affect the paint at all.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I used to know a guy who painted cars without a respirator. Yes I said used to. He's not around anymore. And the last time I saw him he was in really bad shape. The chemicals in paints attack your nervous system, respiratory system, and worst of all they attack your reproductive system. You can become impotent from breathing in paint fumes. It can even soak into your skin and get into your bloodstream that way and have the same effect. ALWAYS WEAR A RESPIRATOR WHEN SPRAYING PAINT!!! WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING CHEMICALS!!!

[@NoHandleNameScrewTube]

Aren’t you supposed to use acetone as a reducer

[@uranga1981]

Did you add a clear coat?

[@scottdowney4318]

You don't really need to with alkyld enamel paints. Wet sand and polish and they get a beautiful shine. I have been painting my Black Trooper with Behr spray paint gloss black. Then wet sand with 1000,1500,2000 then rotary machine polish using Malco.

So after a year has it held up well? did you put any clearcoat over the top and about how many quarts did you need for the truck? I think I might try this as I like the rustoleum products for their durability on household outdoor metal

[@TORCHBROTHERS]

It has held up very well after a year. It has a couple of nicks and scratches in it but not a big deal I'll just sand them down and respray since I didn't use a clear coat. right now I'm actually trying to sell the truck. So I might not do anything to it. I used about three quarts for the whole cab and front end. If you're going to do a whole vehicle I would suggest buying a whole Gallon. You can actually see what it looks like now I just posted a recent video of it.
