Thanks for the video and taking your time to teach! Much appreciated sir!

No problem thanks for watching.

[@msk3905]

Been mixing rustleum colors for years to make my own, haven’t had a problem yet. Literally just mixed royal blue with smoke grey to make a grayish blue that I’m in the process of spraying my bike with. Wish i say this video before i might have added the metalic silver to add some flake….hmm didn’t clear it yet

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Nice

Om glad to watch ur vidio. Bro j.

[@agentsmith1527]

AWESOME!

[@cryptocreek1557]

I just bought some silver metal flake 0.004 size. Can I just add that to the rust-oleum and spray through a 1.4 tip or should I use my 1.8 tip? I would think if I used the 1.8 tip the paint shouldn't be mixed 1:1 but 3:1?

[@nunyayourbusiness7327]

do a vid on putting rustoleum clear over rustoleum base

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Maybe...

[@davidlyons7238]

Thank you well done.

[@mpikas]

I thought I was the only one that was mixing the aluminum with the solid colors to get what looks a lot like an automotive metallic paint... 1:1 paint/thinner... I haven't sprayed it that thinned for a while. I've been trying 2 and 3:1 and higher gun pressures trying to get it to layout smoother/less orange peel, but I haven't tried Japan Drier, I may have to try that, it should be safer then using an enamel hardener.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

I spray it at 20-25 psi when I do...I started using Japan Dryer when I did some trailers a few years back on a whim never looked back...you're not the only one with the "orange peel" others have reported it too.

[@michaelmayfield9901]

The way I get rid of orange peel is just lay one thick coat 1:1, almost to the point of dripping and it lays out real smooth with no orange peel at all. Every time I would try multiple thin coats it never turned out good.

[@kooncesphotography]

I would like to make burnt orange any ideal how to make it

[@chrisgriffin7455]

What about if you were wanting to lay down some primer gray or whatever color it is how would you go about mixing up or thinning out some of the rust-oleum primer how would you go about doing so.?? Thanks Chris Griffin

[@FrankLeferink]

What’s the formula for 6:30 ? It looks amazing!! What colors/flakes were used and how much was it thinned?

[@jedesignz]

You are the first I've seen to add the mica or pearl effects to Rustoleum. I was just wondering last night about this. Dipyourcar has a lot of options of things to add.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Thanks...I've been experimenting with it will see what happens together...I've got a lot of questions about it and there will be more videos soon on the subject.

[@ericme3317]

Can you use a mica metal flake with a thin nap roller? I already have a faded white car that needs paint and clear coat i just want re paint my white to look nice with a metallic clear coat

[@rudyflores9395]

where do you get the Mica powder and you add that directly to the Rustoleum paint or to the metallic and the Japan drier. Would you have a chart on the colors your showing video rocks thanks

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

I've add the powder to the paint to the clearcoat to a maxxtone tinting base gives different effects but the clearcoat seems to do it best over standard bases...thanks

[@drewrinker2071]

Red yellow and blue don't give near as nice colors as magenta, yellow, and cyan do. Red yellow and blue always results in dull colors. I like the nice idea though and was actually wondering if this could be done

[@pablocastro6995]

Hello I’m new to this channel so I plan on painting my truck white with rustoleum. But I now take interest in adding a pearl/ metallic or maybe the color shift effect. So what i would need to do is primer paint my solid white then ad the color shift powder into the clear then lay that on ?

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

That's the best way I know...thanks

[@christopherwilson2516]

I wonder how hard it would be to use that aluminum and mix up an orange? Thatd be a neat color to try and get for cheap. I just spent about 250 total dollars this week on everything ranging from mask and goggles, the gun, the DA, papers, tack cloth, ect.. by next weekend I should be able to start experimenting!

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

That would be cool man that's the name of the game test it out.

[@leezambrano7823]

I’ve added 2k clear and other types of clear to Rustoluem and it picks up the paint, ruins the finish. The U pol seems to work. What’s the difference between 20:80 and say 20:81 or 20:88? Does it matter?

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

I've used the universal over all clear seems to work I've used only 2 to 1 not the 4 to 1 stuff...shoot a test panel see if it lifts...thanks

Do you ever actually show the stuff painted on the car.?

Sorry but I haven't done a car yet just panels

Hey I’ve got a clear base but no clear coat is mix in the clear base it’s a flat base can I still use that and mix a little paint and powder?

What brand/type clear coat are you using for rustoleum paint job? And what mix ratios? Thanks

I use euro type clears that are 2 to 1 mix...I used U-pol System 20 and Reoflex 90 both are high solids and can be had for around $100.

Any information on getting I nice Flat Black with the Satin Black from Rust-Oleum. I painted a BMW a few years back with 50/50 paint and Acetone. It came out OK, but it was TOO flat for my taste. Thanks for your video. I have been contemplating on mixing the Satin Black with a gloss black at 4 to one ratio to see if I can get a light sheen on the flat black. Any help would be appreciated. I am building a budget 59 F100.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

I think the acetone is over flattening out the finish mixed at that ratio try mineral sprites on a test panel see if it helps I had the same problem with red last year...Thanks

[@matthewfox3760]

What mixing percentages would you recommend if you are going to use a roller vs air sprayer ???

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

I don't know...I've always just added the Japan Dryer to the paint and rolled on...no need for nice on a old trailer.

[@323jo3y]

For painting a car with rustoluem, paint thinner and japan drier, what do you recommend for flash time between coats?

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

15-20 minute then I let it dry for about 1 hour then add clearcoat.

50/50 is a nightmare for runs

@@gorrillacgorilla405 is this the Shite i should buy or should i even fuck around with "Tractor Supply" Enamel paints? www.amazon.com/Restoration-Shop-Urethane-Gallon-Hardener/dp/B00BLBNHFC/ref=sr_1_26?keywords=urethane+paint&qid=1575399066&sr=8-26

[@perryj20]

So I didn't know you could (successfully) mix painting systems. Rustoleum is an oil enamel; the clear coats you mentioned, I believe, are urethane products. I don't think they chemically "bond" to each other. It might look good for a while but ultimately I think the clear coat will peel away from the rustoleum. Also, what would be your re-coat windows (flash time). Rustoleum takes alot longer to dry than urethane paints. Would you have to let the rustoleum completely dry (for days) before adding the pearled clear on top of it? You might get solvent pop it the rustoleum is still drying underneath fully cured urethane clear coat.

[@misterp9012]

So I'm assuming you picked up those pearls and metallic packs at a local body shop supply store??

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

[@tamishagroves7281]

So with respect to the flake look can it be mixed with clear then put onto what your spraying say aluminum frame ? Or flake has to go in the paint itself ? Then applied onto the surface of what your painting ??

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Flake goes into clear...

[@skelafeti]

I noticed you used paint thinner to mix with. Rustoleum says to use acetone. I don't think it matters except for flash time. What do you think? I used naptha before and it came out ok but I haven't experimented enough with thinner/acetone or the japan drier. I suppose it doesn't matter too much using the japan drier though. Maybe don't even need to use it with acetone since it flash's the quickest out of thinner and naptha. How about a hardener? It adds some UV protection from my understanding.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Yeah it's 100% mineral spirit's and the japan drier...and yes I have added enamel hardener in to the paint before. Really didn't make the Rustoleum have better gloss retention but clearing over it really helps. I paint my trailers every couple years to keep them in good condition and rust free. I know a lot of other guys use acetone with great results but I've used mineral spirits for years now without problems. I don't really rely on the gloss the paint has I use clear over it as shown in other videos I've done and if I wanted to paint a car I wouldn't leave it without the clear to protect it better far to cheap to buy a 2k clear even on a super tight budget.

[@mpikas]

@@gorrillacgorilla405 They changed the labels a few years ago, they used to all read to use mineral spirits to thin, then the aluminum got a label that said acetone and now I believe that they all say acetone. I don't think the paint changed any, I believe VOC rules did. Either way, as long as it's warm enough I've had better results with mineral spirits, but there is a point somewhere in the 50* range that it just won't dry for days or weeks with mineral spirits.

@@mpikas Thanks...Mike I did not know that...makes sense with the V.O.C. rules...I know the mineral spirits look better and flow out better...but it really smells like grandpa's wood shop.
