You can add some acrylic enamel hardener and mix 4:1:1 it will dry faster and more durable

[@edwinmcnew4389]

Looks awesome! Great paint job!❤

[@vincemajestyk9497]

I 100% agree with you. I would not thin that paint much below 70%. That Rustoleum is best sprayed with as much pigent or material as possible. I've seen the results of thinner coverage. BTW, Acetone is best for thinning for vehicles. Prep is absolutely the biggest part of any paint job. Came out really nice!

[@williambrindley2832]

Painted mine this way 18 yrs ago,,cover car on Ol Skool Rodz mag, Sept issue,2013 been in several mags,paint still looks good!!!

[@kevincutler8894]

2 to 1 mix ratio usually works well. You want to be 18-20 seconds on a zahn cup for viscosity. A good enamel reducer works better than acetone. Xylol is an enamel reducer if you don't want to use an automotive reducer. Add hardener if you wish. And please, use a strainer when filling the gun.

[@mcalvinscott]

I did my 71 beetle same way. But i wanted a custom color. I bought mixing cups and measured parts of navy and silver. Wound up with a light metallic blue. Did it 50/50 with acetone. Painted it in a garage pushing 100°. That paint dried hard as a rock. And no need to wet sand and polish.

[@pcorf]

I agree. I painted a pair of speakers in an oil based gloss black. Took a few weeks to fully cure but now you just cannot scratch it. Very solid paint.

I've never used 600 directly before paint, I was taught depending on the type of paint from 180-320 to give the surface a tooth for the paint to grab. Your paint looks good I'll have to try 600. I'm a lot older than you and learned when we were using Lucite Laquer, Dupont enamel and clear coat wasn't even a dream lol, in fact I still have my Binks No. 7 gun.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes I was always taught no higher than 600 because you need the surface to be able to grip the paint I grew up using Dupont and ppg paints as well.

[@greglamar1116]

Your not trying to remove the paint just scuff up the clearcoat

[@jeffmueller3684]

[@bertbckrs3524]

should use hardener, makes it glossier and of course much durable...

[@TheREALOC1972]

Hardner makes it dry too fast and makes it brittle, a little thinner is o.k. but hardner makes it too hard.

[@webmastersof]

I have used rustoleum paint many times to paint cars. Rustoleum paint also works great as a base coat if you spray it in a satin Sheen and then use an automotive clear coat over it. Works great every time and very cheap and compared to thousands of dollars for a professional paint job

[@timsolomon8352]

Are some clear coats not compatible with rustoleum? As it's an enamel paint? Isn't there also a cure time before putting on a clear coat? I've always seen enamel lift and wrinkle doing that? Just curious.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes I have experimented with many clear coats that just won't work with Rust-Oleum paint period some wrinkle and some just don't allow the rustoleum to cure out underneath the clear however I've had no issues with 2k urethane based clears which is why I suggest Nason 2k urethane mult panel clear and speedokote 2k urethane clear as I've seen both work without issues over Rust-Oleum paint thanks for watching

[@DatMaddahFaka]

​@timsolomon8352 let it harden and gas off completely before applying clearcoat.

In Detroit area used to be a shop painted whole cars. Earl Schibe -

If you took one in already prepped up and taped off they put some good paint on it. If you let them do it all , good luck.

[@650gringo]

I paint canoes with Rustoleum but I do use enamel catalyst, a Harbor Freight gun and the boats look awesome. 70-30 ratio does work well.

[@eastcoastken]

The thing I've learned about painting is mixing ratios are solid guidelines you can deviate from dependant upon your equipment, method, and comfortabilty of spraying.

Looks good. I painted a truck in my driveway and it came out semi respectable

[@floridagunrat1625]

Many years ago when I was young, I painted my first Jeep with a Wagner power painter in a gallon of green oil-based house paint! It wasn't great my Professional Standards, but it was actually pretty good and that paint job lasted about 20 years! Not long after I painted another Jeep with the same green paint, but did a better job thinning it to reduce orange peel and get a better gloss. About 10 years later, I painted my Volkswagen dune buggy with yellow Rust-Oleum and was quite pleased with the results. About 10 years after that, I painted the cab on my dump truck with red rust-oleum. I was very pleased with how that turned out. All of this was done outside in the driveway or the backyard, so I had the usual problems of dirt and bugs now it's 15 years later and I've got about five work trucks that all need a paint job and I would like to make them all one color - Rust-Oleum Safety Red! I want to convert a garage Bay into a temporary paint booth. I am curious what you are using for a ventilation fan system to draw away the Airborne overspray?

Nice job brother. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@dbc105]

Nice job, I wanted to point out the Rustoleum Topside Marine Paint. I used the Navy Color on my Vintage Race Bike and it works well. It does cost a little bit more than Professional but it says on the can there it is UV Resistant. Not sure exactly what that means but it might be something you would like to check out. The downside is the limited number of colors, but when it is just a base color like white it might be a good choice. Home Depot has a good deal on Rustoleum quarts some times when you get a 2/pk they will have a better price though you may have to order it because they may not have it on the shelf.

Couple spots on the hood have started to haze, and the primer failed above the driver door handle and caused some cracking but that was my fault.

[@coherantbliss3483]

Great job doing your video. I like your ways of doing them and your attitude :). Just a FYI if you add a "WET LOOK" hardener to your Rustoleum paint it will come out shinier and much harder. I use the Mar-Hyde Wet Look brand by 3M. Yes it adds about $40-$50 to the total cost but well worth it. Yes there is a big difference. The hardener has the UV protection in it too which is important making paint last longer. The hardener also protects the paint from scratching easily. More shine, resistant to scratches more (harder paint) and UV protection. Peace
P.S. I tried cheaper hardeners and they didn't make the paint shinier like the Mar-Hyde did.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Good to know, and thanks for your comment. Yes, sometimes I use Hardner. Sometimes I don't. I pretty much did this to show people. You can do things dirt cheap, if you have to thanks again for watching

[@zerozero1944]

ive used auto paint reducer , i took the risk and its what has worked for me vs acetone , the japan drier does gives a red tint but it does magically goes away a big relief , 2bh i do not ever recommend anybody out there to paint laquer on top of the rustoleum even if its dry which ive also done the paint will soften and peel off like plastic , glad the car came out but i had to re-done the trunk but glad i had quit that tire shop but then the owner of the truck wrecked the truck so basically i was off the hook , the biggest issue to be addressed and worth documenting was how to avsoid peel in edges specially if u have a business running i mean the paint will hold for 2-3 yrs then it will peel where the door plastic emblems that are like bumspers id did over came so from letting it dry and avoid lots of water and using bull dog , adhesion promoter , to just taking them out and painting on the side ., great video stay bless

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes good question honestly my combination has been the same process prep panels to 600 grit apply bulldog adhesive promotor in the foreseen problem areas I then spray the Rustoleum with acetone no hardener no extra additives no Japan dryer I then use only 2K urethane clear because I find that bonds best with the Rustoleum and gives me the least amount of issues long-term no shrinkage or reactions. I really don't do as many Rust-Oleum paint jobs in particular as most people think but for some reason everyone is comfortable using Rust-Oleum as the base and it does work well if you use certain combinations together. Most of the time I use Nason Automotive fulbase and do regular base clear paint jobs for customers. If somebody just happens to want to Rust-Oleum paint job to save money i pretty much just go over the pros and cons with them and realistically about two or three years if prepped properly the paint job is fine. I have had them last 4 or 5 years with little to no issues depending on what conditions the vehicle goes through in that time period but as you said prep is key and using a good promotor thanks for watching

[@Paper452]

Love seeing these cheaper solutions, getting ready to paint my jeep with Krylon farm paint... kinda worried about spraying it. not sure how to mix it but thinking 60/40

[@mickmandela6995]

Mix a small batch and spray on a sample piece then you can see how it’s flowing another thing you can do is get a paint cup and time the paint one very important step is strain all paint when putting in the gun gets all the impurities out of the paint

[@Lastcallrepent]

Roll it with foam rollers my wife did a great job 👍

[@thatguy6828]

I sprayed a 1 ton truck with rustoleum in the white years ago and the only problem I found with it was it looked like it was fresh out of a hospital. I came back and did some red and black pinstripes and that was tons better, to me. Very nice job though and for the “hospital” white 😂🤣 it does look great. I give it a 5 for the work you put into it but the color I have to say it’s a 3. Just my opinion but it needs something else with it to offset all that white. To each their own, right? Awesome job though

[@jeffnations6649]

Some people just don't like gray / silver colored cars... Or it's possible that the clearcoat was coming off and you just can't see it in the video...

[@TheREALOC1972]

I'm getting ready to do this on the 2008 Impala I just bought, I live about halfway From Phoenix and Tucson and the sun has absolutely destroyed the paint on the top half of the car so since it already needs painted I'm going to 2 tone it, from the top of the fenders down I'm leaving it the factory Precision Red and from the top of the fenders up I'm going to paint silver but not the regular silver, I'm going to buy a pint and add a quarter pint of black paint in it then paint it I want it darker than the silver aluminum color but the other silvers they sell is too dark so I'm going to custom mix my own color.

Great video!
I’m getting ready to paint a horse trailer I recently purchased. What ratio should I paint at? Hardner?
Thank you for your help

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

60% paint 40% acetone is a great mix ratio you don't have to but if you wanna add hardener tractor supply majic hardener works great little black can with green tags

I got a better one drink every time I say alright guys 🤣👍

So no primer at all. Just paint directly on old paint? And does clear help at all or is it kind of pointless. If you would clear what kind? Thanks for any suggestions I’m looking to repaint my 02 Camaro soon and want to know the best/cheapest way to go about it.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

If you have any bare metal spots or body work areas I would definitely prime it but the paint was in good shape so I just sanded it and painted over it but you could also use a 2K urethane clear coat over the Rustoleum and it would hold up for many more years I'll include the link to the clear coat I typically use thanks for watching amzn.to/3RZx1Nw

On average how long between coats not sure if I missed that or not

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Depending on temperature about 20-30 minutes

[@skinneyjay5451]

Thats what Im using but shooting blue ghost pearl over it.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Nice 🙂👍

[@ianmarkey9434]

I heard 50/50 was a good ratio too.

Where is the exhaust system (fan) to make you more comfortable and safe and eliminate iver spray!

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I have two barn style doors off to the side and I have an industrial exhaust fan mounted into the side of one of the doors

good content,keep it up!

[@Bigmitch_2001]

Do you have any videos showing how you clean your guns after using rustoleum paint? I tried to clean my gun after painting a small rim for my cultivator, and I had quite a hard time cleaning it. I used water too soon and it was a mess!

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I have a few videos showing me breaking it down but not in depth I only use acetone to clean my guns I don't use water on them but I'll fit that in on a video thanks for watching

[@Bigmitch_2001]

@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS ok, I will search your vids to see what you have provided already! thanks

[@mileswatkins6472]

Did you hit it with a clear

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

No not in this paint job this was just to show the cheapest way to do a rustoleum paint job and it will still hold up good for many years but with a clear coat yes it would be even better I recommend 2k urethane clear coat if so thanks for watching!

[@lukealley7519]

Keep it up doing great

[@wxdad6256]

Do you clean your spray gun between coats? Im learning to spray Rustoleum for a cheap older truck and like how cheap it can be done.

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

I don't particularly clean my paint gun between coats I do clean it when I transition between paint and clear coat though and I take it apart and clean it thoroughly

[@willholland3886]

How was the over spray pulled out the area ?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Industrial Squirrel cage fan mounted to the wall

[@willholland3886]

Ok I see. Looks like it works good

[@frankgarcia7308]

Can you spray clearcoat after to add more protection?

[@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS]

Yes sir you can just make sure you use 2K urethane clear so you don't have any issues

[@frankgarcia7308]

Thank you
