[@ryanfagan5371]

thanks for the video man i was ask this just the other day thanks for the help man

[@boomboxmaker72]

Make more videos with different color micas please.very cool videos your the only one that makes this video's in you tube

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Okay!

[@tulsawillie4158]

Thanks for the info. Would like to see the spray outs?

[@Kjcustom809]

Awesome video! What are you using for the pigment? Rustoleum protective enamel?

[@AA_Ron155]

I have had good results mixing Rust-Oleum enamel, with upol 4-1 European nano clear, and upol system 20 hardener. I have used 1-3-1 and 2-2-1 with good results. Sunshine red covered in two coats with the 1 part red, 3 parts clear, 1 part hardener. No reducer was needed.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Maybe I'll add a single stage mixing tutorial thanks for watching

[@Gheangel-Quinn]

If u add less of the blue, more of the yellow, just a small touch of red (1/2 to 1 teaspoon) and some white, you’d get a neon green

[@kelliefarr3559]

Really like the videos please paint these on test panels and shoot them with clear

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

I'll see what I can do...thanks for the comment

[@kelliefarr3559]

Have you time to paint some panels with This love to see you do that thanks

[@volkswatson]

I cant seem to find the masstone locally, and even a little rare online. Is there another mixing paint to use?

[@randymack1782]

Thanks for video, I am just learning on using this paint, been in auto-body world over 30 years, but just for beater projects, I want a cheap way to paint, without spending upward of $500 for paint and clear. just discovered this a few days ago about using Rustoluem paints. have you made notes with weights of mixes as you achieve colors? like a Rustoleum color chart, that would help get people towards color that they want? to get closer to cars original shade? or shade they want. I looked today at 1 local place, but had tractor versions of color, but will definitely do more looking and maybe order online

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Yeah trailers and tractors is what I use this on mostly...

[@robertmahaney2854]

Hello, great video Would you say when adding the silver flake to black that it looks a little more of a charcoal color ? It’s hard to tell on video

[@kennyguillotte1881]

Great video! Can you spay the black?

[@kumpanymusik6523]

I can't get my hands on Rustoleum masstone tint base. Is there another brand I can use for rustoleum paints?

[@Gheangel-Quinn]

Where did you buy your masstone tint base?

[@DreamRacingCo]

This video is awesome. I’ve watched it at least 5 times now. Where did you find the masstone tint? I have yet to find it local and could only find it at menards online, and the closest one doesn’t carry it. Any info would be great.

[@johnsebok3555]

I was able to fine it at my local Menards

[@dbc105]

You didn't show the silver can, is this Rustoleum Aluminum?

[@okiedoak201]

Excellent video....so...is mica powder the same stuff from a auto paint supplier called pearl

[@BarbasLife]

Very cool video i learned something. So is the masstone just paint without the color until its added?I have Never used the masstone.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Yeah it's the resin they use to hold pigment there is a clear one for light colors I haven't found it yet at a store...might order it if I can find it...thanks for the comment.

[@carlsondavis9997]

How well does the Silco clear work with the rustoleum, and do you have any advice on spraying it. I’m planning on painting a truck with rust oleum in the summer and was looking for a good clear

[@davidweum9334]

Do you have any ideas of roll on/4" foam brush painting. Uts sll i can afford abd i only want to do a bad hsuling truck plus touch up Honda Civic Cypress green pear (1998 Honda). Im cheap. I do not want l compressors nor sparay can to get rid of. David Alberta

[@dariandarian9558]

Could you do samples of reds and some mica powder? I am trying to do simulate candy reds thank you 👍

[@ponyboyc]

Do you have to thin it out more to shoot with a hvlp gun?

[@davidweum9334]

Good video. Im an auto painting virgin.. but I'm going to try. If I fuvk up I fuck up. Period!

[@joshdavies80]

Do you have certain ratio for your tint

[@mini_worx]

Great videos!!! Question regarding clear coating over oil based Rust-Oleum paint, how are you able to not get any wrinkling? I have seen many other videos, and experienced it myself on a small project, where I kept getting a bad reaction to clear coatint over Rust-Oleum oil paint. Can you provide any information that may help? Thanks!!!

[@jackshinoda2122]

U just can clear coat 1k product to enamel paint , 2k clear coat is not recommended

[@johnbaumgartner7731]

Thank you so much for this video. I am wanting to paint an old Chevy Truck with the Rust-Oleum Regal Red. I had been wondering how I could add some metallic effects to the paint and this video answers my questions. I assume from this video that the Metallic can be added to the pretinted Regal Red Basecoat and wouldn't necessarily have to use the Masstone as you have here. Am I correct and how well will the metallic show when on the truck?

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Your welcome thanks for commenting

[@davidweum9334]

Whats the mix to honda Cypress zgee Pearl?

[@mpikas]

Awesome. I haven't seen that masstone base in any local stores for a while, but I haven't looked either, what kind of store did you find it in? I believe that is the dark base and there is a light base also. I know that the local Ace offered to custom mix a color for me with it a few years ago with the provision "we don't have the right formula's here so we'll get it close but can't guarantee a perfect match." I'm surprised at the massive amount of tint in the Rustoleum, that first Ace thought that they could just use the white as a base before finding that they had tinting bases in stock. I'm glad we didn't try it. You keep saying that you mixed the third one with "silver." Rustoleum doesn't make a sliver. I'm guessing that is Aluminum or one of the greys? I _really_ like the effect. I was going to try to get something similar by mixing some Sail Blue in with the Aluminum. Adding the appropriate pearl looks better than I was expecting that to work but I may still try it. I'm going to second that you should spray out some of your mixtures since mica's and pearls look different when the particles are laid out and this stuff might look completely different sprayed. Finally, you said you mixed the Japan drier as per the label. I wasn't able to find any crown brand when I looked for it 2 weeks ago or so (although I saw some on the shelf at HD yesterday), but I'm assuming that the different brands are functionally interchangeable and the 2 brands that I did see you're mixing at 2x the "maximum recommended ratio," On the labels based on your previous videos (I actually went and re-wound that section and watched multiple times to make sure, no use reinventing the wheel if you've found what works already). One warns that mixed at half the ratio you're using it may tint light colors darker.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

The mass-tone is really not high quality but it works alright to do what it does I think true value has a brand you can order to deliver to store and pick-up. I did say silver it is aluminum...Just do what the label say's you'll be safe...mine said 2-4 oz per gallon probably got mixed up...there's nothing hard or fast about these videos just outcomes...I mess up plenty of work trying this stuff out somethings work better than others...that's the game to find out. Thanks for the comment. I'll post more on the subject soon.

[@michaelmayfield9901]

Where can I get that tint base stuff I searched everywhere they says sold outI. Ive done probably 50 or so $50 paint jobs and always wanted to add flake stuff but could never figure it out.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Add the effects to the clearcoat you put on I can't seem to find the tint base any longer myself sorry...I will do a video update doing it the first way again like in the orange helmet video I did.

[@stedegrissom5788]

Where can I get the tint base?

[@MichaelGreer38601]

Is Rust-Oleum Gloss tint what gives the clear coat element to single stage paint, and would you expect it to react negatively with Rust-Oleum Industry Tractor Paint? I had a guy ask me if I could spray his truck with Ford Blue, then wants pearl and metal flake added. Then wants it topped with a wet wet clear. I have honestly never touched enamels, except to sand and reclear old enamel with new clear urethane.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Add to the clear coat they discontinued the tint base and I can't find it anymore

[@gkiferlt1]

Awesome video, I have been playing around with the same idea. I have been using a lot of solvent to thin the regular base color to get it thinned and then the pigment powder goes a lot further and it sprays better, I rely on clear for gloss anyway. I remember you saying in another video Rustoleum does not make the masstone mixing base, right? Do you know if anyone else makes something that is comparable you could substitute?

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

I ordered it from Menards sometime ago now they will not ship...you could order it I think at a Rustoleum dealer like home depot or lowes I'll look into it more for you guy.

[@gkiferlt1]

Funny enough you mention Menards, I tried googling Rustoleum 7507 and Menards came up with a listing show it was available at my local one so went a grabbed a gallon ($28) and played with it a little so far and its definitely a game changer trying to play with this stuff for custom mixing, lol. Thanks for the vid again

[@lopezjude4292]

Can you make some sort of candy red? Or pearl white? I have a C10 I would like to paint two tone using those two colors.

Does Marblers make at automotive grade mica powder? I cant seem to locate anything but make-up powder

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

If it will go into epoxy resin it will most likely work in urethane clear

[@rudyflores9395]

After you've done the mixing what would be the ratio of Acetone or what ever you thin it down with then would you add Japan drier ? I had never seen the masstone tint base sorry 4 all the questions be standing by 4 the answer again thanks

Could you use the masstone with just the powders?

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Yes I've done it before takes more mica powder to get good coverage...I forgot to include that in the video...great question.

[@dailydrivendiecast]

Can I just use rustoleum white with the white pearl flake? You said mineral spirits but you have paint thinner, which should I use? Also what primer do you recommend and what do I need to add to the primer? Hardener? Thanks for the video.

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

If you mix the mass tone with white it will be like eggshell white might be better to do a split and paint the white base and use clear with white pearl over that...and the paint thinner is 100% mineral sprite's...and I use a 2 k urethane but I will talk about the 1k rustoleum metal primers in another video...thanks for the comment

[@dailydrivendiecast]

Ok cool. I ordered the speedokote 2k primer with activator. Then the plan is a rusto white base coat. With speedokote clear with the cream white mica powder from marblers.

?? If I used a urethane 2K Gloss clearcoat instead of the Masstone tint base and mixed in a Sky Blue mica powder what effect would I get ? I would topcoat it with the same 2K topcoat clear ..

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Well depends what base color you use if it's black or white, silver, copper, gold etc. do a sample panel and see before you start but it will look cool...keep it mixed well when you spray...spray like you do candy paints. Thanks

You can I add to the clear because the masstone is really hard to find anymore

[@MidnightCustoms111]

Sry for this negative comment, but your using it wrong. You dont put Mica powder in the paint. You want to have a solid base color first then you put your Mica powder in the clear coat and spray the clear coat to get the pearl your looking for

[@gorrillacgorilla405]

Yeah I've got that video too...I painted a helmet that way I prefer it that way but a solid base coat can be a achieved with the tint base but it hard to find I need to do an update on this subject.
