Good on you man I love diy paint jobs, but here’s a little advice: 1. Paint from the top down aka start on the roof and the next tallest surface 2. Do 2 light coats and one heavy coat 10 minutes between coats 3. Fill your sprayer with water and food coloring and practice painting on like cardboard I’ve been diy painting for quite a few years and practicing helps the most
That guy ain't lying. Especially with the way that gun was throwing paint out like it was. Couple light almost dust coats will help the paint stick and not run, then you can hit it with a heavier coat or 2. You'll still deal with orange peel considering the equipment your using, but it'll probably be easier to fix later
9:45 LMFAO...."IT'S PAINTED"....bout pissed myself....😅😂🤣....all kidding aside, great DIY project. the more you do the better you get, God Bless my Brother...
Here’s your problem. It was your first time using the tool to paint a car so some learning is in order. However, like you said, with some wet sanding, they paint job will look TIGHT! It looks great overall and I think the next thing you paint with that sprayer is gonna look even better. Overall, it looks incredible and I’m inspired to get one for my house AND resting my VW Bus. Thank you my friend!
To much to fast. To close. Take your time, lay a light coat for adhesion then move back and start from top to bottom addressing the creases first. Good job for a beginner tho👍🏾
I disagree. Tack coat is bull shit. If u sanded it right and cleaned it right. Being black color you want to lay it out as smooth as possible. With that turbine sprayer that means horns in and wide open. But that’s just 20 years of painting talking
@@paintingandlife4288 tac layer is fail safe for beginners though. I personally can do both but prefer a tac coat being that it lays the paint more even imo.
If he went slower he'd have one door done and the canister would be empty. Going fast he had crazy runs, going slower with that wide of a fan pattern, it would look like spilled paint, 😂
Newbie here looking to learn a little bit more and have been Googling/Youtubing around for DIY, affordable ways to paint a vehicle. Gotta say, I appreciate your unpretentious and straight forward style here. A lot of RUclipsrs try too hard to hype up stuff that doesn't need it.
never seen someone spray with airless system. I think 4:3 is to much reduced and you had the runs. also the sprayer fan pattern was nice but i think its just not atomizing the paint enough. i did a few paint jobs rustoleum on my channel and im still learning. Good job overall good video and clean content!
Atomic Garage everyone has to start somewhere, you don’t get good by just watching other people’s videos but by actually doing it yourself. Nicely done 👍🏼
Wonderful wonderful remember the person that didn’t try something new is the one that didn’t do it wrong great job wonderful keep it up keep doing the projects that everybody says can’t be done
Tip When spraying pull hose over your shoulder that way you don't have to hold it. You were brave for shooting black outside lol but that's how we learn. I did body and paint for 14 years . Good luck my friend 💯😎
The important thing of you doing this is: I know now that I can at least get my step daughter’s Nissan Altima the way she wants it to be. She’s not expecting perfection either so she and I are both on the same level of anticipation. THANKS AND GREAT JOB BRO!!!
I no nothing about painting a car but my hats off to ya you sure painted it and you still have 800 bucks in the bank. That's the main thing. Great job.
And with that gun and volume of paint coming out thinned that way, your not a bad spray man, those runs were expected. God luv ya for giving it your best effort. A smaller air compressors with a 5 gallon harbor freight extra tank added to a smaller compressor Would get you thru half the hood, wait a min for air to build up , then spray the other half of the largest surface like the hood. I did a car this way with a double tank air compressor adding the overflow 5 gal tank for reserve. Then you could spray with harbor freight cheaper hvlp gravity cup gun. With the right tip orifice.
Look into the fujispray turbine sprayer. If you want to do projects like that in the future. It’s airless but it’s a 1.3 tip. I use 1.3 for base and clear. 1.8-2.0 is a primer tip. Too much material. Thicker paint build is a bad thing because it expands and shrinks with cold and heat so you want to be somewhere in the middle so it doesn’t crack and fail. But seriously look into a “turbine paint sprayer” they act like hvlp without a compressor. It’s an investment but you could paint damn near anything with it.
Awesome. I painted my '67 Cutlass with a air compressor that kept stopping. Very frustrating, like you said. finished it thanks for your video awesome.
I think it came out great. Yes it needs a little sanding, etc, but that's in most paint jobs. Thank you for putting it in terms that normal garage DIY guys like me can understand. I feel encouraged to be able to do something like this on my own now. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
With a 2.0 tip that is considered primer or rhino lining level Try it straght up with some valspar hardener. In the 90's i did it with a cheap Wapner and rustoleum and valspar hardener.
I feel like maybe it might have had too much reducer in the mix, and I always start painting on the roof first, so in case I lean against the car during the process. I may have to play with this process myself. Good vid.
Thanks for posting. Painted my 1965 Dodge Dart using Interlux Brightside 1-part polyurethane "boat paint". I had used that on a camping trailer with smooth sides which came out shiny and smooth using the "roll & tip" method (foam roller followed by foam brush to pop the bubbles). It is "self-leveling" and got only a few runs on vertical surfaces, mostly at corners which scuffed paint off the roller. For the Dart, I used an HVLP sprayer for the Interlux pre-Kote primer (poly which sands), but a bit too much orange-peel (sanded smooth). For color coat, I tried a Wagner 200 electric sprayer (airless) which I figured would conserve paint (less overspray), but not any better than the HVLP. It kept leaking from the nozzle connection to leave a few drips. Got orange-peel too, but wet-sanding after a day w/ 1000 grit got rid of it (much work). Waiting a month to harden before cutting w/ a polisher and hopefully thick enough to not cut thru. Since I rigged a paint booth in a carport (hung tarps around, box fan w/ filter to keep positive pressure), I'm doing my 1985 M-B, with Interlux primer but pricey 2-part poly auto paint since had to match existing. My air compressor failed during priming, so switched to the Wagner electric and it dripped worse than before (even after trying to add an O-ring at nozzle tip), but finished. A few runs but sanding will cure. Will buy another compressor. Only surety is that things will go wrong whenever painting.
Seems to have a bit of sheen like a satin finish...did the hardener cause that?...not a problem because I plan on painting my crown vic with either flat or satin....but I have some modifications I need to do to the roof. first..an oak tree fell over and crushed the back of the roof this morning....that's ok, I'm going to rebuild it but with a fastback like the Mad Max black interceptor...going to lift the rear and put on some 35 inch all terrain tires..I want that super raked 70's stance...thanks for your video
Just checked .. $119.98 sprayer. Your vid is what I was looking for . I am restoring a 1979 powermatic floor drill press 1150 I don’t like the brush look, roller look both not even coverage. Same paint different color hunter green . Thanks great vid
First that is a turbine fed hvlp not airless. High volume low pressure air. You just needed a finer tip on the gun. Your spraying solvents which go thru the big tip orifice you have very fast and heavy. I think you thinned just right, you don’t need Japan dryer, that acetone and hardener will cure that paint just fine. That sprayer is for the average joe to spray fences house siding, and with a finer tip it can pull off spraying some cabinets, but not with how big the gun is going inside the cabinets. I only needed to see a few seconds of spraying that the tip orifice was too large. They are made for thicker water base paints. You could have sprayed that solvent material with a harbor freight gun, You would have needed a good air compressor though to have enough volume of pressure to keep the air flowing as you needed. I’m a specialty painting contractor of 44 yrs spraying with any type of sprayers you can think of. The grace 9.5 hvlp turbine air with the graco edge 2 plus gun with a number 3 tip is what your really after here if your wanting to use a turbine hvlp spray setup. You little sprayer might work, but only with a finer tip orifice. You just covered the black way too fast, the orange peel must have been terrible, if it was a gloss you were spraying , oh boy !
Question for you - I have the very same sprayer and have been considering painting my car with it but have been very wary about it for this exact reason - I'm not too keen on getting runs. Orange peel isn't too bad cos I would flatten it down with an 800 grit and then hit it with a clear coat and then hit it with 1500 trizact to buff the clear coat. With regard to the nozzle - will any nozzle size fit on the gun? Or does it need to specifically be built for this gun? You get three in the box and can change between circular, vertical and horizontal when painting. I think vertical would be best and it looks like OP used circle.
@@sdaafasfad do not try this with that sprayer, the air pressure might work but you would need a smaller tip orifice , an accessory item. Remember this is done in light layers. Once a light mist coat as a first coat is applied, it dries tacky like how masking tape would feel. Then a second coat would absorb into that tacky coat and cling to it without the possibility of major runs. You need a coat that the solvents will absorb into. Its the right environment thats warm so it sets up well. The right solvent for the temperature where your spraying. Build the coats medium wet, watch it as it goes on so its not too dry a coating. Be robotic as to how consistantly your the right distance from the surface so you dont flood it on, or too dry a coat either. If you have a decent air compressor, for less than 50$ Harbor Freight has an Hvlp gun with the right tip orifice size for automotive viscosity paint, which is thin. You dont want to get into sanding down orangepeel, thats10 times the work over spraying it right with minimal orangepeel in the first place . If you do get a smaller tip size and do spray a lighter dryer base color coat, then the clearcoat will be your finish coat, if you go with a 2 stage application. Clear coats come at package consistency, not all require thinning with solvents. These clearcoats are very user friendly with the right tip size to avoid runs or too dry a coating for it to flow. You dont want to be sanding down your clearcoat and buff it down if at all possible, its too much work. Just decide if the vehicle is only worth doing a single stage color coat application made to be without a clearcoat, thats not so bad.
I rolled flat white Rustoleum on a ‘88 Acura Legend, looked really good, did three coats a week in between coats. Blindingly-bright white, lol. Saw the car years later and it still looked good.
@@J_Brian Have you been using airless electric spray gun to spray on your car? If so did you make it like what professional does or it is worth to go to a professional bodywork to get it done?
Like it my man!! Not too bad! And your right it wouldn't be feasible to shoot kandy, metallic or some sort of pearl on Huge project! Maybe you can, maybe not... that would be a nice video though. Big ups.. great info.
I have sprayed a ton of things with Rust-Oleum. Try using mineral spirits to thin next time. It dries slower, but fast drying is what causes orange peel. Love the look!
Multiple light coats bro. My backyard paint jobs thanked me for that. Wet sanding is easy look at a few vids wont be a pro but can learn. Good job tho man looks good.
It looks incredible good considering what you used to paint it. I wonder how well it would do with a shiny paint? I am going to paint my truck but dont want to use a flat color.
I'm new to your channel and wonder if you posted a video of this car after it was wet sanded and buffed out... Secondly, the airless sprayer includes different nozzles right? Might be worth messing with those to see what works best for your application... Thanks for posting video...enjoyed it as well as your commentary...
you can not color sand/wet sand flat paints because you cant buff them. Only sand it if you plan on repainting, like you could probably sand out the run and do a spot in/ blend job and make it look ok. possibly even with a rustoleum spray can. as far a getting rid of the orange peel you'll have to repaint the whole car. I use a 1.4 tip when painting only use a 1.8 for primers.
Interesting effort, really like the way you present info and your demeanor on camera. I was looking at alternative ways to paint because I didn't want to spring for a big compressor, but I found a Craftsman 33 Gallon 6.5 hp pushing good SCFM on Facebook Marketplace for $90. I should be able to easily do a panel-by-panel job with that.
Subbed up. Everything is coming in the next day or so for me to paint my b15 spec v. I also went with an airless sprayer. Gonna be the first time I’m painting a car.
I think it turned out pretty good for the airless paint gun when you start wet sanding do the left front fender with the big run in it and just concentrate on the Run that way if you have to repaint that fender you can panel paint
Thanks for the video, Why you are calling this air-less paint machine? also let me know were there any dust particles? coz dust particles gets stick onto black.
Reducer vs acetone both alow the paint to lay smooth but with acetone it's one shot you can not lay strips or touch ups over it or it will wrinkle as with reducer you can strip touch up and secont coat without wrinkles. Yes reducer is 4 times the price and dries slower but is the best choose in my eyes
I always cloud my first coat, little heavier on a second coat 20 mins after I finish the first, and then 20 mins after the second I do a heavier coat to finalize it, that thing seems to spray kinda fast though.
What about condensation in a paint booth the spray air compressor has a Water separator on it to pull water out of the air. Also you should use tac rags to wipe down before spray to pull any dust particle off. Looks like an Earl Scheib paint job from the 80s
Good on you man I love diy paint jobs, but here’s a little advice:
1. Paint from the top down aka start on the roof and the next tallest surface
2. Do 2 light coats and one heavy coat 10 minutes between coats
3. Fill your sprayer with water and food coloring and practice painting on like cardboard
I’ve been diy painting for quite a few years and practicing helps the most
I love the advice! I will try those out!
I actually never thought about using water and food coloring to practice. Haha. Thank you. I'll have to give it a shot.
Im tottally bout to go do the food coloring thing before i paint my car, thank you

Holy smokes that thing lays the paint down with a quickness😂 Cool video
That's what I'm looking at also, I'm wondering how well does it lay the base coat
That looks exactly the same as the Avanti sprayer from Harbor Freight. Just bought one to try and paint a car. Good vid.
Preparation is the most important part 💯

This is what its about! Love seeing others do things the backyard way! More power to you!
Do you think a different mixing ration would of been better? Like 5:2:1 or less paint and more coats?
That and a smaller nozzle would have done me wonders!

ive watched atleast 20 rustoleum car paint job..ive seen wayyy worst lol.. u inspired me to go ahead and take the leap paint my celica
Awesome! Be sure to tell me how it turns out!
Dude I love your videos
you can not color sand/wet sand flat paints because you cant buff them. Only sand it if you plan on repainting, like you could probably sand out the run and do a spot in/ blend job and make it look ok. possibly even with a rustoleum spray can. as far a getting rid of the orange peel you'll have to repaint the whole car. I use a 1.4 tip when painting only use a 1.8 for primers.
Remove orange peel with 180, 1000, 3000 sand paper. Then clear coat. 👌
Could you spray clear with that gun
No I wouldn’t recommend it
This was still great because you wanted to and what makes it so enjoyable thanks for sharing
2:44 I already hit like... very informative...
Thanks for the LIKE!
Idk why I watched this. But I enjoyed it lol.
Thanks for watching
Sand and light coat over it for even finish. Not as thick but nice seeing a real person be real and show test. Props
Interesting effort, really like the way you present info and your demeanor on camera. I was looking at alternative ways to paint because I didn't want to spring for a big compressor, but I found a Craftsman 33 Gallon 6.5 hp pushing good SCFM on Facebook Marketplace for $90. I should be able to easily do a panel-by-panel job with that.
Most definitely you can!
Practice makes perfect 👌🏻 looking good big dawg
Very educational video!! You're straight forward with your approach and I admire your "managing expectations" outlook! Keep up the great work!
Subbed up.
Everything is coming in the next day or so for me to paint my b15 spec v. I also went with an airless sprayer. Gonna be the first time I’m painting a car.
Read these comments and learn from my mistakes
I think it turned out pretty good for the airless paint gun when you start wet sanding do the left front fender with the big run in it and just concentrate on the Run that way if you have to repaint that fender you can panel paint
You're a very patient man.
Thanks for the video,
Why you are calling this air-less paint machine?
also let me know were there any dust particles? coz dust particles gets stick onto black.
Not a lot of dust. I call it airless just because it was on the listing
Thanks bro. Damn good video. Next time break down the measurements and process.. good job 👍🏻
Reducer vs acetone both alow the paint to lay smooth but with acetone it's one shot you can not lay strips or touch ups over it or it will wrinkle as with reducer you can strip touch up and secont coat without wrinkles. Yes reducer is 4 times the price and dries slower but is the best choose in my eyes
Does this product come with different nozzles? I ask because I want to add metal flake in my mixture
Is there paint you can buy for the airless sprayer you don't need to add additives to? I'm trying to do a basic white paint job on a bus.
I always cloud my first coat, little heavier on a second coat 20 mins after I finish the first, and then 20 mins after the second I do a heavier coat to finalize it, that thing seems to spray kinda fast though.
What about condensation in a paint booth the spray air compressor has a Water separator on it to pull water out of the air. Also you should use tac rags to wipe down before spray to pull any dust particle off.
Looks like an Earl Scheib paint job from the 80s
Lmfao
Great job man!!!!
Thanks for including all the plusses and minuses. I wish I could find Krylon in a liquid format, it's been a better paint for me. Great video
Good work bro
