Rustoleum paint job, black w catalyst. The OBS Chevy Silverado Truck bed is now black, Check it out!

Welcome to another episode of this old hooptie :)
Subscribe to the channel and follow the build!
In todays video we keep moving forward with the Rustoleum blackout of my OBS Chevy Silverado truck. Today the bed gets the black Rustoleum treatment, we are one step closer to try 3 of the metal flake paint job. She defiantly needs a wet sand before I start with the flake and clear.
Thanks for tuning in.
Build what you love and love what you build.
The Rustoleum was mixed 4 parts paint / 2 parts acetone / 2oz Majic catalyst. The pieces came out great. I went to 3.5 for paint and acetone on the cup to not have left overs. Also the fluid knob was all the way in then 2 1/4 turns out with the fan 75% open.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say a quick thanks for all your comments and feedback over the last year. I smile every day when people from around the world send me images on Instagram or drop into these comments and say hello. Enough sappy stuff, its the weekend do something awesome! Good luck with your projects - OBS - Rustoleum Army!

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

I’ve seen factory paint jobs on new cars with more ‘orangepeel’ then your rustoleum job. Fantastic work!!

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you👍

[@itzRockadown]

pretty dope outcome👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾...cannot wait for more videos 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you, its going to be sweet 👍

Beautiful black paint you got there..

Thanks bro, how's your truck doing? Are you stored for the winter or driving her around?

[@warrenglover]

Turned out nice. Cant wait to see it finished

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you 👍

[@dtperformance256]

Good video! Enjoyed it!

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you. Are you getting any work done on the s10 this weekend? I just welded closed the holes in the s10 cab floor and started the sound deading. Next up gotta weld new exhaust pieces to meet up with the new headers. It will be nice backing this out of the garage without going deaf. Good times😁

[@dtperformance256]

@@thisoldhooptie yes I am. I have to travel sometimes for work and the next few weeks I am on the road so I only get the weekends to work. Slow progress. I am currently cleaning frame and getting it ready for paint. I hope to get a video out next weekend. I am catching up on your videos….man you got a lot of good content! Keep it coming!!

[@sinformant]

Gotta say that im impressed with how much paint that thing spits out! Looks like you had almost complete coverage in the first coat!

[@thisoldhooptie]

Just about. If I shrunk the fan and did tighter passes i would have nailed it in one coat. Didn't want to go to thick though. My mix is on the thicker side to start with.

[@alfredoibarra9825]

Wetting down the floor prior to spraying helps mitigate dust as well.

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you for taking the time to leave a tip 👍

[@scottm7341]

What is the ratio of hardener? You can't just add 2 oz to any amount of paint and thinner..

[@thisoldhooptie]

Correct, thats the amount I needed for my mix. The ratio on the bottle calls for 1 can or 8oz of the catalyst per gallon of paint.

[@JasonWelchMusic]

Im confused... Im trying to follow the progress on the purple sparkle over black rustoleum truck, and Im getting lost. Is this the same truck? If so, what happened to the purple flake?

[@thisoldhooptie]

I made a mistake when painting only half the truck with the flake. Needed to be done together so it matched. I could not get it to match since I did not properly measure the amount of flake. The down side of learning as you go. I wanted it all one color for a bit so redid the black base and will be re painting the truck as a whole with the purple flake as soon as the s10 is out of my garage. It will be completed this year.

[@vstarcruiser7141]

Excellente

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thanks 👍

[@fishpony1211]

Came out good dude. I thought about buying the fuji semi pro 2 but went the compressor and paint gun route. Hope i dont regret that decision. The fuji seems like it would have been a better choice for a hobbyist like me.

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thanks bro. Compressors do have a lot to offer. I will need one too at some point. I want a plasma cutter, and some other air only tools. The low over spray and not dealing with water in the lines for paint work is a huge plus on the turbine side. Everything has some positive and some negative. 👍

[@corbynlopez]

Hey man I think the truck looks a amazing, just got a quick question. Not sure if you would know but would the rust oleum be able to be sprayed on over duplicolor lacquer primer? Thanks!

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you 👍 Simple answer is Yes it should stick fine. You may want to spray a small test piece to get your dry times down so it doesn't crackle up. You can also let completely cure then sand and spray. I sprayed duplicolor black then rustolium color shift on my dash then cleared it. Looks like the day I painted it a couple years ago. The dash is in my truck playlist.

[@corbynlopez]

@@thisoldhooptiewow man looks like I lost track of time and never saw this comment. I appreciate it! How are the paint jobs holding up to the elements of the outdoors?

[@thisoldhooptie]

Perfect, alittle dusty from the rain and not washing. It's been parked every day in the driveway in the Florida sun. With clear it would be perfect. Nothing a quick buff doesn't shine up 👍

[@corbynlopez]

@@thisoldhooptie that’s good to hear! I appreciate the fast response. Hopefully I can get my obs finally painted. Much thanks!

[@sk8ergurl20071]

Are you measuring your parts in cups or ounces? What is the unit of measurement for the parts.

[@thisoldhooptie]

I use a standard paint mix cup which has the lines on the side for cups and oz. They can be picked up from amazon, any paint store, lowes, or home depot. You use cups for the paint and oz for the catalyst. The exact measurements I used are in the videos and the descriptions. Good luck with your project 👍

[@ayejeremiah]

Looks great what did you sand the bed with

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thanks 👍220 then 320

[@bonezshakergarage]

Great video. I just bought the fuji 4 and I wanted to know. What tip did you change out to be able to use the plastic paint cup’s?

[@thisoldhooptie]

In the description of the video i have all the 3m pps 2.0 system parts needed. Its the adaptor up top, then you need the version 2.0 cups i got one large and one small. The large can fit a large or medium liner. Also get a ser of check valves you will need to swap that a some point.

@@thisoldhooptieThat completely makes sense. I was thinking the whole time, that seems like it might be hard to match the doors and truck bed, so I went looking for that video. All makes sense now. Good work non-the-less. TY

[@brandonnance5543]

which video did u show installation of those headlights?

[@thisoldhooptie]

I believe it was jan 24th 2021, look for the night shade headlight video in my truck playlist. Pretty sure the end of that is all about the light and turn signal wiring. Sorry in advance for the low quality, it was my 3rd time ever shooting a video. Hope it helps.

Do u have a set of grey or black stock seats out of a 1500 88-94?

[@thisoldhooptie]

I swapped mine for custom seats why?

[@dubglock2312]

@@thisoldhooptie I would like to buy ur stock ones...also did u have any problems with the billet shift lever kit from Amazon?

[@thisoldhooptie]

@@dubglock2312 i don't have stock seats for sale. I picked up a set of qualitex low back seats from online. The billet shift kit is perfect no issues. The billet mirror i went with needed to be retapped the angle was off.

[@hectorguzman4180]

Are planning to selling it obs$?

[@thisoldhooptie]

No, I don't plan to sell any of these trucks. If the channel grows, I would love to do giveaways in the future. 👍
