No you did not hear it wrong at 4 minutes and 5 seconds in the video I did accidentally say DUI people instead of DIY people honest mistake thanks for watching lol

[@reloadnorth7722]

I am in North East Ontario Canada and have used Tremclad/Rustoleum since the 80's. Cars, trucks, boats, snowmobiles, tractors, etc. It works quite well when diluted properly for spraying.

[@martymcfly3986]

do you have a recipe for what to use with dilute and hardener as well as ratio? thanks

[@reloadnorth7722]

@@martymcfly3986 I use a 2:1 thinned with acetone, and 10 drops of fibreglass hardener

[@stemprojectfinal2088]

Rustoluem works great on beater trucks used as work or farm trucks. Super cheap and you really don’t get upset WHEN it gets scratched or dinged. A little John Deere green, Allis Chalmers orange or Caterpillar yellow and call it a day. Lol

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

I started painting cars in the early seventy's my brother in-law worked for a company painting caskets and about every three months we would go repaint his Camaro with a different casket color and that's how i learned to paint. but the more you can afford to spend on paint the better the paint job will be. if you put a lot of work into prep then its worth it to spend the money.

[@Steven1Cicero]

You hit the nail on the head there with that statement If you put a lot of work into prep then its worth it to spend the money. this I think is where you gain your value in spending a little more for better quality paints, Now a days with all of these youtube painters out there they don't always show the amount of work that goes into the preparation for obtaining a nice paint job, After all of that work that goes into correctly preparing something for a quality paint job do you rally want to cheap out, Just how much is your time and hard work really worth?

[@dollabillbrunson8107]

I have an 03 Tahoe. Thanks to your video, I figured out that it’s cheaper to go base coat clear coat vs single stage. I can mix the base coat 1:1 and get 2 gallons.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yea a lot of all this stuff really depends on brands and the mix ratios vary a lot as well between products so sometimes you are better off with the base clear vs single stage. Ultimately you really just have to do you research to find the best deals and I'm glad you did. Thanks for your comment and watching 😎👍

[@user-tm1gn2yc4i]

Learning a lot from you about the paint thanks

[@beestoe993]

I have had oil based paint jobs that were decades old and brought them back to their original luster with a simple wax job. What is so great about poly clear coats? The attraction eludes me. Once they start to crack and peel your whole paint job is junk.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

You're right there are pros and cons too both I say whatever you prefer and like to use is the best to use I'm not knocking anything thanks for watching

[@billyreeves4360]

good video painted my f150 21/2 years ago 2 tone with rustoluem temp 78 used 1part acetone to 1part thiner better flow no orange pill also added 2oz of hardner per qt still shines as good as a factory paint job.Bill don,t get me wrong i also use auto paint on restorations.Bill

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I agree I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching 👍

[@jthonn]

Thanks for this video. You know what you are talking about, and I hate to throw a curve, but Rustoleum does make auto enamel. The same price in rattle cans. I have only seen it in white on the shelf in HD. I used it to paint a guitar I built and it came out great. I did a clear coat but, It was glossy enough without it. IMO, if it is a car that has a decent value, use auto paint, like you said, if it is a beat up jalopy that you just want to look more presentable, Rustoleum is great. I had an old truck years ago I painted with rustoleum red rattle cans, and it came out pretty dang good, I was happy.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Duplicolor is acrylic lacquer, so it’s 50’s-early 80’s style automotive paint. I’ve used it a bunch on guitars and it sprays and covers awesome. But I’m really looking forward to spraying the boys car with allis chalmers orange , with hardener of course, and ten I’m gonna use that cheap clear you recommended

[@chuckzamzow9]

I spent around 600 for what did on my car, the paint came in a gallon kit for around 200, primer sealer was around 100 bucks, the clear was the most expensive but what I wanted, ppg euro clear high solids. I got a deal on it, I will say the spray Maxx clear is a good way to go if you don't feel comfortable with the spray gun doing clear, and it comes out good and durable.

[@tntcustomchoppers]

THATS WHAT IM TALKING BOUT MY BROTHER NASON!!

[@dumpsterfire6351]

Great channel!

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Which paint is your favorite to use? Thoughts??? opinions???? let me know it all!!!!

[@dbc105]

A suggestion for your next pearl/flake videos, maybe try a Rustoleum Blue, like the Top Coat Marine Finish Navy Blue and add a silver pearl and/or flame. I thinking it would likely lighten the Navy a bit. I checked on KP after watching one of you vids and a small pack to test is only $5 so if I get some time I may try it myself. Thanks for the vids, I've learned a lot that I've always wanted to know about but there is no place to find out.

[@Bigmitch_2001]

I went to my local auto paint supplier and was quoted about $1000 for my small pickup. the paint code is R529p, it's a dark cherry pearl from Honda. I found a gallon of paint on Amazon for $320 for the base alone (no reducer, no clearcoat). My truck has over 250k miles, and burns oil, I am not paying 1000 bucks for paint for it, but if I can spray it over for 300-400 bucks, I would do it. the clear is peeling on the roof of the truck, and it looks awful, that is my motivation for the paint job. I don't think I can color match with rustoleum, but if I find a close alternative, I will try it.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I just looked it up myself I work at a Napa paint store and yes with everything absolute cheapest we sell it for in fast dry Nason with reducer it's around $400. I would say the only other option would be a custom mix done yourself with Rust-Oleum red with a quart of black added in to get burgundy and then some pearls added in with clear for around $200. About the best I know but thanks for watching I'll be glad to answer any other questions as well

[@Bigmitch_2001]

@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKSI found Black Cherry Pearl from KP Pigments. I think I will use the rustoleum matte black base, and the Black cherry pearl in a clear base, then clearcoat it. About 60 bucks for the base, 40 bucks for the pearls, 100 bucks for the clear, and I have to check on the clear base, I might just use the clear coat with the pearls to save cash. it would total about 200 bucks if I do that! (I already have acetone) wish me luck!!!

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Nothing wrong with that 🤣

[@paulhootisn848]

I was gonna do Rust oleum semi gloss, but what’s your recommendation for a semi or a flat Matt in the other brands? Do I make a single stage flat?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Really any white you can do in Rustoleum then if you want to do a semi gloss or matte finish you can use the finish one brand 2k urethane semi-gloss and Matte clear over it to get any finish you want

[@deputydan2226]

Can you lay urethane paint of Rust-Oleum? I need to paint my truck for winter and the weathers to cold lately to waste or lay down some quality materials.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes you can

[@chrisdorrell1]

Also is it available on Amazon im the UK. Could you gi e me the part Number for the primer /thinner /catalyst and harder.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I'm not sure about outside the us but the part numbers vary depending on what you go with I would do your research for your area there might be even cheaper options thanks for watching

[@monstersquashracing]

If i were to use the rustoleum paint, what clear coat should i use. Thanks

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

2K urethane clear coat that way you don't have any issues with it reacting

[@dumpsterfire6351]

Only thing I hate is cleaning oil based paint…meh

[@joshreyburn988]

I missed if you can add hardner to rustoleum. Would that bring it up to more automotive quality?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Not necessarily but it can help it dry faster thanks for watching

[@wansolve289]

Yes, you absolutely can, I do it all the time on outdoor furniture and my tractors. It make the finish harder and it lasts forever.

[@r1lark]

Can a hardener be used with the FastDry paint? Good video, gives good solid info with no BS.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

No the only thing you add is reducer to thin it out but you can use an acrylic enamel harder with it but it's not really needed it hardens pretty quick

[@r1lark]

@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS Is the Tractor Supply hardener an acrylic enamel hardener?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

@r1lark yes but it's not a very good quality one it works great with Rustoleum oil based but I wouldn't use it for automotive grade fast dry

amzn.to/3Qbr7Iu This would be better it's particularly formulated for acrylic enamel and to be a universal hardener agent

Technically yes or you could just use rustoleum primer thanks for watching

[@altairtheeagle]

PPG paints for the win, Nason is absolutely 🗑️ garbage

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yea ppg obviously is a better product than nason and that's reflected in the price so it's ultimately all about what you wanna spend thanks for watching

[@deputydan2226]

Never heard of fast dry where do i purchase this? My local paint suppliers cheapest paint is probably nason and its still kinda expensive Has paint prices dropped recently because nason in black or white here is at least $300 for red its around $450+

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes it is a nason 1k single stage product you just thin and shoot with reducer. I don't know where you live but it's typically about $30 a quart and you can purchase it at Napa Auto parts and various other paint stores. I live in North Carolina I'm sure this might vary especially if you outside of the US. Thanks for watching
