    In this video we take a 2003 Pontiac Vibe and give it a refresh. The car was not in awful shape and the paint was pretty good. But it did have some issues. There was rust over the windshield, rust stains running down the rear doors from the door handles, and it also had some rocker panel rot. This was the perfect candidate for a Rust-oleum paint job. First we took everything off the car that we didn't want painted blue, then started fixing all the rust, and sanded down the entire car. After masking we were ready for paint! We used Tremclad, which is rust-oleum, but in Canada it is branded as Tremclad. Either way, this is a oil based enamel rust paint. We mixed two different blues to get the desired blue we were going for. The paint was mixed 50/50 with reducer and a blob of hardener. Two coats of blue, then 12 hours to partially cure, then 3 coats of automotive clear coat. We used a brand called Rouge for our clear coat. The end result was fantastic. We hope you enjoyed the video and consider subscribing!
    We have another project coming out next week so keep an eye out for that!

    Industry pro here;
    Great video quality guys, props!
    It was a fun DIY project to watch, i think you guys did a pretty good job!
    A couple notes for future reference...
    Most clear coats are an Acrylic Urethane, the color coat you used is an Acrylic Enamel... those two different paints really dont play well with eachother. You managed to find thee exact right time to clear it, and still have it work for you... But, most of the time it will just blow up on you, as yall described.
    To give yourself more flexibility on your recoat times, and to ensure a longer lasting paint job, without risking complete paint failure during the application... i would recommend using an Acrylic Urethane basecoat color coat, instead of an Acrylic Enamel color coat.
    (I know one reason why you didnt, This usually increases the overall cost of the project, and urethane doesnt like bare metal as much as enamel, or cover as well, so your bare metal spots would need to be properly primed... however you will basically eliminate the risk of your paints reacting, and Urethane likes bonding to Urethane... so it will likely be more durable as well)
    If you are painting a solid color instead of a metallic, i highly recommend looking into polyurethane fleet paints, they cost more than rustoleum, but less than automotive base/clear... all while being super durable. Its a great middle of the road option when using solid colors (all my aftermarket 4x4 gear is painted w poly fleet paint for a reason)
    Anyways, thanks so much for the video, and best of luck on all your fun future projects!
    -cheers!

      I almost bought a Vibe, but found a low mileage Escort instead, in dark magenta so I won't have to paint it. I think your blue is a bit too pale for my taste, and also think your current black wheels are better than any of the colors you mentioned, though I like bright colors including on wheels, so matching blue? purple? orange? green? magenta?
      I also have a white Dodge pickup that I may be painting. Purple and yellow? The white is so bland. I was inspired when a friend bought a primer Metro with purple window tint, and painted it yellow.

    Years ago in the early 2000s we used Rust-Oleum to paint our race cars. Our normal paint store was closed for a week and we had to have the car ready for the weekend . So I went to Walmart and picked up a gallon or international red and sprayed the car. We were so surprised just how nice it turned out we ended up doing 6 all together. Even now the 2 that are in the field still look good and with a little wax would shine like it did yrs ago. You would be surprised how good the paint will turn out when you do a good job on prep.

    Good tip for the reducer is to use something similar to the paint. Solid the paint is Enamel then use an enamel reducers. If paint is Urethane then use a urethane reducer and so on. Painted cars for a couple decades. Also I saw someone mention good idea using the same brand reducers as the clear coat. That is a good idea too. Staying in the same brand is always good.

    I like what you guys did there! I would add that, if you’re like me and not a professional painter and without professional facilities, skills, or tools … I have found that if you are reaching for as professional looking results as possible, a light wet sanding between each coat with about 1500-2000 grit does an amazing job of getting rid of any dust, bugs, orange peel, and slight “fisheyes” that get into the wet paint and that usual present frustration with amateur level work. Granted, for just an old daily driver, it could be overkill, but if you have the extra time and you are looking to challenge yourself to do the best paint job you can crank out while on a budget, wet sanding makes a lot of difference and adds very little to the overall cost. The sanding will also give the next coat something to bond to and increase the odds that the clear won’t peel after some time in the sun.

      I'm just learning and I've seen alot of people say how it's very important to walk the side from end to end because that whole "spraying a half panel, then spraying a half door" will cause tiger striping and unprofessional looking results.
      I noticed in this video they sprayed small areas rather than entire panels from side to side.
      Is that not a problem? Ice scoured the comments and I can't find anyone saying it here. But in every other video I watch, seems like dozens of people say that walking it all the way down is the only way to go.
      🤔?

      @RustedRides  3 месяца назад +1

      Hey, yes for sure if you have the time and want to go that bit further it would make a difference. If we let the blue cure fully we would have had to sand before the clear or it wouldn't hold up. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment!

      ​@inthelandofmorethansmall7582 Using solid colors, "stripes" would appear from dry spray. Metallics may end up striping by doing that AND it's a single stage paint, like the rustoleum. If it's a metallic base coat color, this won't be a problem for a moderately experienced painter. The base coat would then need to be clear coated. If you spray a true candy or pearl coat (3 stage, pearl over the base coat color before clear) you would definitely want to walk the entire vehicle. But your overlap would contribute more to striping than anything. Consistent application (speed, distance, overlap) is crucial

      The guy talking about sanding is right about everything he mentioned and should be applied if you want a decent looking paint job. Especially wet sanding the clear then cut and buff for the final. Also an inexperienced painter should be concerned about things such as runs, proper technique and body posture and maintaining the same distance from nozzle to surface being painted and air hose control while actually trying to paint or more importantly clearing the car( you don't want to be tripping over things and hose while trying to shoot clear) also when new striping of any kind regardless of color is something to watch and for different reasons but the two likely will be improper coverage and dry streaks in either base or clear due to how you have the gun set up and how you are overlap ing each pass. Pay attention to how much air flow your gun is using to throw the paint. If the air to paint ratio is high you will get dry spots vis versa and runs become a problem. Also prep good and pro tip always before you start working and sanding use dewaxer and degreaser every where you are working people don't think about how any wax or grease present at time of sanding will just embed all that into the work area and then wondering why the clear coat is fisheyed or something. If you don't walk the entire vehicle that's fine if you just use the body lines of the car and where they break/transition into another for where you start and stop. The difference in how the light gets reflected will hide where you start stop and even doing blends. Last thing is to pull tape and paper while wet because doing after everything dries increases the chances that you'll pull some of the paint and clear off while trying to remove tape from gaskets and trim.

    Easiest and most cost effective way for a color change in my opinion. I've painted so many cars with alkyd enamels. It's a nice, durable finish and if you cut and buff you can get it shining like a mirror. I actually had a car I painted with Rustoleum sit outside with a tarp duct-taped over the missing convertible top for close to 3 years. I pulled the tarp, cleaned and polished the car and it looked as good as the day I sprayed it.

    First things first, Lea is very beautiful. Rust-Oleum was my Father's brand of choice for the first automotive paint job I did, a 1959 VW type 2 Panel Van in like 1972. I however was issued a brush with which to apply it . Apparently this was something of a family tradition. My Father told me that when he came home with his first car a fire engine red prewar 8 cylinder Buick the first thing his Mother did was to have the hardware store immediately deliver can of dark green paint and a brush and ordered my Dad to have the car painted before his Father returned home from his work in the city that evening. Based upon my Father's birth year and that he was Choate class of '46 as the year this occurred.

      It was damn tough. Semi gloss black. I still have a quart of
      It, going to use it on the hood of my latest project.

      I sprayed the one I mentioned above, but I’ve rolled one with amazing results (red) and have used their paint with a brush in non automotive applications. It always resulted in a high quality high shine (unless I used flat or semigloss) rock hard finish, that stuck to the surface like stink on shit, and wore like iron.

    That's a solid result from a cheaper style paint. My recommendation for the rims is a satin black or a matte gunmetal color. If it's affordable, get a larger rim and a tire with a lower profile sidewall. Maybe a 40 - or 45 series style tire.
