I have been refinishing over 20 years and a licensed tech collision branch 1. And yes I have painted several used cars with Rustolium or trimclad, it’s just old alkyd enamel, this is very close to the paint they used in the 60’s and 70’s, the pre curser to acrylic enamel. Alkyd enamel is very easy to spray, use lacquer thinners 20-40%, just takes a long time to cure, it works as a cheap cheap durable paint. Last car I did was for my parents, 12 year old bonneville, the car was white and peeling, I buzzed it all down with 320, used lacquer prime in a few spots, sanded the spots, taped and shot the entire car with white trimclad, 5 light coats, lasted over 6 years till the transmission blew up, car went to the junk yard with a shinny shinny paint job. Cost me under $250 with masking, primer and single stage top coat.

It is great that you are practicing and learning how to do this stuff. Everyone is telling you what you are doing wrong, but I think you are doing good. It isn't auto paint, and it isn't a cut and dry recipe to make it come out right. It is rustoleum. Experimenting is good. Find out what works for you and your application. Keep it up.

Very true I used rustolum years ago. I was on a painting kick painting metal around the house garbage cans plumbing pips metal out side chairs. I was testing the paint out before I used it to paint my metal dash in my 1972 GMC Suburban. I end up painting the whole inside of my suburban and it came out great this was 14 year's ago and it still looks good. If I would have bought automotive paint it would have cost at least $300 buck's that's what made me try rustolum in the inside of my truck. Now for the out side I used HOT ROD FLATS this is some real good durable paint. The prep work was the whole work I used primer filler some thick stuff you have to work fast when spraying it because it's like spray on bondo that fills in all the area's I may have mist plus it let the paint job hang on to my rid. The car got a few dings over the year's but the paint did not chip off. If anyone is interested in flat paint I would recommend "HOT ROD FLATS"

pro tip: add 1/4 Behr hardener to your paint and thinner ratio and open the fluid tip up to like a 1.6 equivalent. Spray a few tack coats then hose it on. Oil based is very different from urethane so you cannot get a nice finish by spraying tons of light coats.

You may want to put a filter on the back of your fans, it will help to keep the dust/pollen down. Also, try using a 3 to 6 foot piece of hose between the gun and the filter. This makes the "stack" of equipment a little shorter and helps to improve the gun handling and reduces the strain on the filter. Your process looks pretty nice. Keep up the good work.

Easy way to dust proof and get better air flow... Poly Sheeting, and PVC piping. Here in Florida, humidity and heat are ridiculous. So I got around $30 of 1.5in pvc and a few T joints and rigged up an 8x6x8 frame (I'm 6'7" 330lbs so you will likely not need to go as big) and used the poly (visqueen) to seal it. I put in a floor AC/Dehumidifier on one end venting out a hole in the visqueen. And on the other side, I attached a large ShopVac (I too like some things at harbor freight, but avoid their shop vacs like they are coughing in a Covid-19 testing facility). By the time it was done, I didnt even need to wear a respirator (so I did an n95) I was not expecting it to work so well. Also, I had the pvc roof of the small room attached to to the ceiling and it allowed to hang up things I would spray. Make sure to use a marker to number the joint pieces you connect in the pvc. That way you can take it back down, and put it back up with ease. Also, it stops the neighbors from calling the cops. Freaking babies act like theyve never seen a naked giant spraying paint before!!! Grow up people!!! XD

Oh sorry for so many comments but the trick for not getting trash on the piece that you're working on if you don't have a spray booth is spray it and then put a cardboard box over it or in your case since it's so big make some kind of a cheap frame around it and then tape some plastic sheeting on it. It might take a little longer for it to dry but it should prevent all that garbage going on to it since you're not using proper paint

The quantities guide is also very useful and I did screen shot it, thank you. I also like that you admit to being a learner and you share what you’ve learnt thus far in a modest way. So many people learn something new and talk like they are experts within a week. Rather than risk your mobile phone when recording close up have you thought of attaching a second hand Go-Pro to your gun? I know you’ve said you don’t like the bulk of the water trap and gauge in the past but it could be attachable in a non intrusive way and the waterproof models are light and should clean fairly easily.

Your result looks really good. I did black, 5/2/0.5 (Rustoleum, acetone, Krylon hardener) so, very similar to your 10/4 ratio. Brother by another mother or something. It turned out so well, I wanted to paint the cats who tried their best to put fur on everything. It was the first ratio I tried. I was lucky. Very tough, durable finish, yet surprisingly flexible. Tip: when pouring from a full square can, hold the can so the lid opening is at the top (not at the bottom as everyone always does). This produces a stream pour v a sloshing-everywhere, running-down-the-can pour. Nitrile gloves. Acetone is nasty stuff.

I painted the front of my work truck with rust oleum. Right from the spray can. It has a very narrow pattern but didn’t create any tiger stripping. It was white so I’m not sure if that helped it not show. I think I’ll throw a can of 2 k clear over it. The whole truck only has 1k paint. Which really sucks and doesn’t have a clear coat. Just cleaning it removes paint. Plastic is cheap and will make cleanup easier. Check out zip wall. You should cover the fans with filters to trap the paint and dust . When I sprayed inside my garage I stapled the plastic to the ceiling.

I just replaced the lower bumper on my 2001 Chevy S10 and repainted my grill. All of those parts are plastic. I just used Duplicolor rattle cans and one Duplicolor bumper and trim black. On the lower bumper that was brand new that I replaced had no paint, first I sprayed it with a tacky adhesive primer. A few coats, waited 10 minutes on the last coat of that primer and started the top coat, while it was tacky per the instructions. It took a total of 3, 8 oz cans of rattle can victory red and the lower bumper looks just like the original that came from the factory. For the grill which already had paint but was faded by the sun, I first layed down the chrome using a rattle can for the center chrome strip. Chrome in paint cans never comes out as chrome, it comes out more of a grey/silver, but none the less looks good, that applies to all brands, don't expect a chrome from a rattle can, it comes out silver. I removed the center chevy bowtie which was a gold, painted that black using the rattle can. Waited for the chrome to completely dry 24 hours, taped it off and than painted the rest of the grill black. It was a 3 day process, all done with rattle cans. I also straightened out the metal part of the bumper which got bent 6 years ago in a fender bender. Put it all back on, threw on a new set of headlights with silverstar Ultra bulbs and the truck looks like it came from the factory, it also looks like a more modern s10. So for those who don't want to go thru all of the trouble of paint sprayers, you can make your 18 year old vehicle look new again, just by using rattle cans, I did. For plastics, it works great, I would not recommend doing it that way on any metal parts of the body, for that it has to be done right with a sprayer and even than, its really hard to match to the original. But for plastics and front ends rattle cans, get the job done well. I wish I could post my before and after photos, I have one of the nicer s10's still on the road with that victory red, its an 01' with 117,000 miles and looks better than the Colorado's out now.

A lot of times that clear coat in the rattle can comes out uneven and looks bad, so I didn't take the chance with it. I used several coats of the color so it should hold up well, I'll just have to see how long it holds up, either way, its 1000 X better than it was, like a brand new modernized 18 year old truck. 👍 I highly recommend this for anyone who has an S10 with a faded front grill, it was easy to do and brought it back to life.

Another tip if the compressor you are using is around 4.5 cfm and small tank 115v you can get another for around $100.00 and add the 2 out lines into one line and add a cheap water separator and if compressors have adjustable regulators ok or add one in line to your gun and a cheap in line filter to remove oil and water mist . So to sum up 2 cheap 4.5 cfm compressors =9 cfm which is about what you need to run that paint gun your using . I have tons of experience using old school enamel paint and acrylic lacquer from working many years in a gm dealership when going to school and college,the Oem paint was acrylic lacquer on gm car back then .I would install some pleated furnace filters at one end to get cross draft and dust stop filter on the in put of you fans . Painted my vette using 2 4.5 cfm compressors. I painted my supercharged modded 1976 Oem gm acrylic lacquer vette in blue and diamond metal flake old school acrylic lacquer and buried the flake in many many coats of clear acrylic lacquer wet and dry sanding ever few coats and applying over a couple of weeks to allow drying . The vette turned out car show perfect after rubbing out with rubbing compound and 2 coats of carnauba wax turned out car show quality . Now if you car is a daily driver don’t do any radical time consuming paint to many car haters will destroy it just for fun . The rust paint will work great some hardware even sell urethane fortified rust paint which work great for car and boats if applied correctly and with correct cfm compressor s no hardener . Once the car is painted leave in garage 2 days then on third day put out side for hour or 2 to help harden the paint keep paint dry for about a week . After a week if paint is not sticky you can rinse off with cold water from a garden hose water( not a power washer ) and wipe dry with a synthetic car shammy don’t leave water droplets on the car as it could cause permanent marks , once paint is dry about a month possibly less wax the car it will look amazing do it in the shade only and do half the hood and remove with clean micro cloth .Do the rest of the car a 1/2 panel at a time don’t let it dry don’t rub too hard . To maintain these old school paint jobs hand wash then wax every few months. If a panel get s damaged clean with silicone wax remover wash with dish detergent then sand prep and re paint ,I recommend getting extra paint and keep cool dry location for future touch ups of entire panels . Good luck have fun stay safe keep away from isocyanate hardener paints and be very careful not to cause a fire hazard from paint fumes and spray and sparks

@@BulliKid Just a warning about adding hardeners to Rustoleum- They have some very NASTY chemicals in them, isocyanates to be exact. Most people can handle very brief exposure to it, BUT, some end up in the hospital within 10 minutes as it affects the central nervous system. It really does make the paint shine much deeper and very wear resistant. I use it on snow plows all the time. Please wear a full body suit and helmet that has fresh air being pumped into it for breathing. It enters your body much faster through your eyes then skin, thats why you have to cover EVERYTHING when you mix it into your paint and spray.

I'm proud of you for attempting this. Some helpful tips; I think you were holding the gun a little too far away from the bumper on the 1st coat. Also, pay attention to moving across the panel from end to end in smooth even strokes, with good over-lap on each new pass, and then also keep in mind you need to focus on maintaining a WET edge at all times. Bouncing around on the panel is a good way to have dry spots, and uneven coverage, striping, over-spray, etc; Plus look at all the walking around you were doing. I would go from end to end multiple times until you have complete coverage, then go back afterwards and spray into the cut outs that might have gotten missed. Removing nibs you can use a piece of masking tape folded back onto itself with the glue side OUT and just lightly touch it to the debris and try and pull it out that way. Also... you might want to just hold the trigger squeezed at all times as you go off the end of the panel, and then come back on.. When you release the trigger there will be MORE pressure build up in the hose and when you pull the trigger again it will be a burst of air pressure until the pressure gets down to what you have set on your regulator.. To avoid that initial burst of air on trigger pull-and the coarse/dry spots that result-just don't release the trigger as you go off the edge of the panel! It makes for a more even finish with no dry spots, and reduced orange peel, at the edges of the panel. Everything I know I learned from Paint Society here on KZbin! Keep up the great work! I bet after wet sanding, its gonna POP! I gave you a thumbs up as well!

Then in allows you to take thick paints and thin them to get the proper viscosity for spraying through the different sizes of nozzles on your spray guns Under different pressures and different at most Feerick conditions and different temperatures colder temperatures will make your paints thicker to spray higher temperatures will make your payments then her to spray a lot of guys who spray clearcoat over there basecoat will warm them are clear coats up to about 83 84 85° before even putting it into the gun and spraying it this helps thin your clearcoat down without even using any thinners that way you don’t lose any gloss. Because it’s OK to add a little bit of thinners to your clearcoat like 5% or 10% or 15% but keep in mind it will take away a little bit of gloss. Now keep in mind with automotive paint and gloss, the solid contents of your paints start out being a lot thinner but still need to be thinned some paints have more medium solids which are MS and some are HS high Solids or VHS very high solids the solids are what make your paint thicker and give you more build up on the surface. So I think paint like rust oleum which will have very high solids and is designed to be brushed on or rolled on so a lot of thinner must be used to get the paint down to the right viscosity so you can spray with it .Hey viscosity cup is useful for these reasons they can be found on several paint websites or Amazon

Each spraygun in each nozzle even on the same guns can spray slightly differently so the trick is getting the paint first of all to the right viscosity for that airgun the guidelines are just starting points for you you have to experiment a little bit to find what’s going to work for your gun your air pressures and your techniques it is a learning process And when you change something in the system you’re using even when you change brands of paint different kinds of paint everything changes which is what you’re learning now

@GREGSGUNSONLINE5 жыл бұрын
It is a bit of an experiment so you might also try increasing your pressure and spraying at higher pressures with those thicker paints that aren’t being thinned very much What you want to do is get the viscosity of the paint down low so when you’re mixing it and you pull your stick of the pot paint should flow off of your mixing stick quickly and turn into a drip within a couple of seconds buy three or four seconds it shouldn’t drip at all you know you have the right viscosity when that happens and that your paint gun will Adam is it
@BulliKid5 жыл бұрын
Yes I will experiment and see how different thinning affect the final outcome. Ideally would like to lay down paint smoother to possibly not have to wet sand and buff.

GREGSGUNSONLINE Do not use hardener that contains MDI which is methyl di isocyanate with the location and equipment your using and your half mask it won’t protect you . Those hardeners are extremely toxic and go right through a half mask and in your skin and eyes . I was poisoned by isocyanate in canned spray expanding foam insulation purchased from a box store . I sprayed the consumer grade expanding foam which contains isocyanate or MDI to holes drilled small boat sub floor while wearing the exact same respirator you are using out side while standing up .The symptoms could be tight chest flushed face ,itchy eyes , asthma , difficulties in breathing which could be life threatening all of which could become permanent .Each exposure to isocyanate builds up in the body and stay with you for life till just sanding some old clear coat or urethane paint will cause you to react . Please check on you tube isocyanate safe usage there is tons of videos on here about it . Now if you are using the single part paint you are using and let it dry for couple of days minimum without hardener with acetone you will be fine . Stay safe just follow safety reguarding flash fires which is a danger also paint spray and a spark could = flash fire or explosion

Because of the isocyanate I only spray paint like your using without any hardener and lacquer paint . I did a acrylic lacquer metal and diamond metal flake paint job to my modded c3vette in a garage like yours and hand rubbed out after many coats of clear acrylic lacquer wet sanding every 4 coats turned out like a show car but was lots of work , the reason the industry switched to 2 part isocyanate hardened paint was because it has less VOCs but is dangerous because of it affects on the painter lolo and because it can be recoated without wrinkling and it’s more durable and fades less from uv and is fast to use and apply.

You really only want to do one tack coat. It is just a thin coat that ensures the rest will adhere properly. After that, you want to open it up a little bit with thicker coats. If you don't, you get a "dry" finish, the spotty (looks like it needs tack clothed) finish. That leads to orange peel and fish eye. You'll be amazed at the difference. It should only require 3 coats, including the tack coat. Glad to see you're trying though, keep up the good work.

Painting at home is a problem sure!! A thing I have always thought is to make a "paint tent" around what you are painting, which could be made easy enough with PVC pipe as a frame work and them covering it with large (and cheap) plastic drop clothes and some masking tape!! Though I have never painted anything at home and have never tried it, I worked for a guy back in the 1970s that basically lined the inside of a two car garage with plastic drop clothes to create his own "paint booth" and it worked fairly well!! Of course his garage had a window in it, that he had set up a filter in (as the air was drawn into that building in that access point) and like your video here, he used box fans at the door to "pull the air through the shop"!! But we NEVER had anything falling into the paint jobs he did, and he worked like this in his shop for years doing auto body work!!!

You need to do testing on the mix ratios. Every gun shoots different and will require the paint viscosity to match the gun. Buy a Devibliss spray gun (even their Starting Line guns are better than that Horrible Friegh gun you have) then start off with a 2 to 1 ratio. Keep going until you reach a ratio where the paint is laying down flat with each coat. Your paint was entirely too thick for that gun. Don't worry about runs, because you are practicing. You need to borrow the door off of that car, hell use both doors, they aren't using them. Most junk yards will give you or let you use damaged body parts to practice on. This is how I learned to paint.
