@@c.spencer2338 Hi Spence, car looks pretty darn great if you ask me! What was the dilution ratio with the paint? Roll and tipping paint is used quite regularly I the marine world and produces mirror finishes as well. Great job!
@ Hey Mita, I use a 3 : 1 Ratio. 3 Parts Oil Based Paint to 1 Part Low Odor Mineral Spirits , I just finished painting my nieces car for the last few weeks, and I have polished out some of the hood work. i.redd.it/du02gpr90o751.jpg I suggest using a High Density Foam Roller, and when waiting between coats put the roller in a plastic bag and squeeze the roller so that there is no oxygen to dry the paint that is on it . (you can get about 3-4 coats on the cor before you need to change to a new one.)
The previous owner of my supra had done some body work and covered the entire front end of the car in primer. I used roughly four coats of generic Rust-Oleum burgundy rattle can paint (two cans), wet sanded, and then did two coats of Krylon brand clear spray paint. I think it needs another coat of clear tho. Otherwise it looks pretty good. Color match was O.K. But it sure is better than primer. There isn't really any orange peel if you keep your coats thin. For best results, do 5 coats of color and 3-4 coats of clear. Keep a good distance between the spray tip and the painting surface, this will reduce orange peel.
Very nice job for the low amount of money spent. Just a few things I would recommend to add to what the video creator did IF you want to maxamize the quality of the finish: After wet sanding with 800 grit I would move on to 1000, 1500, 2000 AND then buff it out. I would recommend also going to a paint supply store and getting a sanding pad that the sandpaper wraps around. They are inexpensive and will spread out the paper for a more uniform sanding pattern. After wet sanding then use a buffing compound with a buffing pad. Then using a polishing compound with a polishing pad. If you're really into it then using a heavy cut buffing compound and pad followed by a fine cut compound and pad. followed by a heavy polishing compound/pad followed by a fine polishing compound/pad. Each stage makes a finer finish. Be careful not to sit in one place too long with the rotary machine or you could burn through the paint. After all that then wax. Good luck!
That's actually pretty cool, I really like the music ; ) Thanks for the steps in the description too, cool stuff. That's a ridiculously long time though, 5-8 hours between coats and you need about 5? wouldn't using a different paint be better, not an oil based paint?
Just plain oil based rustoleum. But you can use any oil based paint. Just remember to cut it with low odor mineral spirits. Also high density foam rollers are the best way to get the uniform application.
@@waynewilliams5802No Sealer or Primer, Just Rustoelum Oil Base paint, and Low Odor Mineral Spirits applied with a high density foam rollers. I would always suggest 5-6 thin coats with foam roller. Wet sanding and Buffing are key to getting this to shin like it has a clear coat. Also, I sanded down the hood in the hood prior to this video with red Scotchbrite and I believe Denatured alcohol to remove any remaining dirt or dust.
I tried to roll on no luck, the first time. I used a foam roll it had much orange peel. Then I tried using a 3/8 nap 4inch roller. I waited for an 80 degree day. It came out so much better. I used rustoleum oilbased paint. Looks so good that I probably don't need to sand and buff at least for now.
Use penetrol. House painted for years. It gives the paint time to flow out with a smoother finish. Your shadows will be smoother. Not knocking. Just painted a long time Nice video, careful camera work.

@ Had Enough!, hi guys, the best results that I have had was by following the Magic Painter Method (i found it on google) definately the no.1 info that I've tried.
or you can use the same paint he did (rustoleum) and wet sand with higher grit, 800,1000,1500, and 2000 for better results he could have wet sanded more for a "professional" look. it's not about the paint but rather how you prep the car prior to painting.

I waited a full day between each coat I believe. It needs to be dry. But does not have to gas off right away. Which would be more than a week . The low odor mineral spirits will help it dry faster.
Great video! My question is if you’re just using paint from a spray paint can. Do you still need the mineral spirits? Also how long did all coats take you in total?
I would suggest using oil based paint that comes in a pale. ( you can get any color you want mixed at Home Depot or Lowes) and you can get difference glosses, ( in the event you wanted to go flat black or earth tones), Rattle Can paint jobs will be faster, but you will still need to polish it afterwards. I worked on it for 2 hours everyday for a week when I got home from work. on the weekend I painted 2 coats a day. one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. Total Coats are 5 on the sides 6 on the hood and roof.
I wonder....if one had an assistant who held an orbital sander against the panel you were painting....if the paint wouldn't sheet better?? Just a thought....
well, there are not many decent oil based clear coats that are UV friendly, Also you would want the base to completely Off Gass for a a few months before hand. I would say that If you dont mind polishing twice a year, the oil base has a nice deep luster too it. I have also seen some glitter added to a mix, that looks amazing!
@@c.spencer2338 cool. thanks for replying. I have painted my car b4 I did a good job. I got a work van and need to paint it fast and cheap, I might try this method next.
Really nice job there and some uplifting classical music..I am wanting to roll on a satin black finish on my suburban..I don't plan on doing any wet sanding or buffing because I like the orange peel effect..but I do not want roller edge lines to show..is it best to thin the paint with spirits or acetone?..also since Home Depot does not sell satin in gallon cans, is there a way to turn the gloss black into a low gloss or sheen to mimic a satin finish?..thanks for any help
+Don Vegan get a full gallon for the suburban, and remember to take your time! give it multiple coats with a few days in between each too, you will love the results.
+Don Vegan I would say that if you at using satin textured paint I would not worry about scuffing it up.. Just be sure to use Scotchbrite pads (red or green) before you start and make sure you have no oily residues on the paint surface. I sanded the orange peel out of my paint to get the mirror like finish. but again with your satin paint it would not worry about it. Your Suburban is going to look like one of the cars from Agents of SHEILD. It will be very cool.
+C. Spencer..Its been awhile but I got my suburban painted, and once I got the 3rd coat on I was very happy with it...maybe I will post a picture, but the satin finish adds a dramatic effect or sure..thanks for your advice
+michaelleeconner79 I no longer own the car but I did sell it to a fellow at my work, I will talk to him and see if I can take another video of it since its been more than a year.
Abrade it to bare metal and use rust converter first. You want to lock the oxidation down. Then prime and bond do. Depending on your car it might be better to just replace the panel.
If it is pit rust I would sand it to bare metal, then use a rust metal primer/ or a sandable filler primer. The rustoleum rusty metal primer is worth its weight in gold. I have primed so many nasty spot on my friends truck and it never rusted again in those spots, (I had also used a rust converter on that as well, it turned the rust black after 5 minutes, I let it dry over night then hit it with the rusty metal primer.
Hi, C Sepmcer. I am planning a Rustoleum paint job and I intended to use a similar method: Roller, paint several layers without sanding in between and then wet sand and polish with a buffer. I am prepared to wait in between coats (Il do it over a few weekends if necessary). Do you think it would be possible to achieve a high gloss professional result with this method? Would a sprayed on clear coat be a good idea? Thanks.
Absolutely. I sold the car to a friend a work. I see the car about everyday. If you wait 24 hours between coats, and put at least 5 coats on you will have a great base to work with (you can always put on more coats). As for the polishing, I sanded in between coat just to make sure things were going right and I wanted a show room finish. You dont have to sand. In fact I did not wet sand my Jetta When I painted it like this. and it came out great. I took some polish to it about 4 months after I painted it and took an almost mirror like finish Stay away from clear coats. They dont work well on the oil based paint jobs and they will winkle the finish. The multiple layer system will give your years and years on your paint job.
I'm thinking of doing my car's roof, hood, and front bumper rustoleum gloss black (Not sure if it matches the code of my car, but there seems to be no flake or pearl in it anyway) as the clearcoat on the hood and roof peeled, and the front bumper is new. do you think i should use some sort of clear coat over the rustoleum paint? or is it tough enough by itself. i'm kind of worried
C. Spencer I ended up painting the panels with rustoleum. will not do again that's for sure. i'll save oil based for my yard machinery. in the spring/summer i plan on using a real urethane automotive paint after i scrape this rustoleum shit off. i also did sand it up with 3000 and buff and polish. what a waste of time. still looks like trash
i heard oil based paint eats gets worse faster than water based paint. like i used oil based wax on my car and it ate through my paint. i then switched to water based wax and it lasted longer. i wonder if the paint is the same way.
there is no such thing as oil based wax you fucking bonehead,its wax.did the fucking bee's eat oil then shit out oil based wax???fucking people,unbelievable.... did you go to a room (or several rooms)from 5 yrs old to 17 yrs old were topics,subjects and other things were discussed at great length and a diploma was given out at then end as a reward ?its called school,try it.............
Thats it... do what you gotta do. Car Manufacture paint has given people alot of ugly paint jobs a few years after they leave the lot, they aint what they use to be.
Seems to me you are adding way too much thinner. The bubbling is the first big clue. Use a loaded roller. Full enough that paint doesn't drip with the roller, but holding as much paint as it can, I find using the oil based paint the way it should be properly thinned. Use Penetrol, a smoothing/ flowing - agent available a good paint stores Usually no more than 10%. The consistency should be more like cream than milk. Don't over roll and keep going back over it as it dries. that causes stippling. I was a house painter for years as a young man and painted a lot of industrial equipment, and a few personal trucks and cars . This has been my experience anyway

keep the pad flat when polishing
what ratio did you use
If you want to very glossy coat use a :one part mineral spirits :two parts oil base paint and put on at least 5 to 7 coats
C. Spencer ok. Thanks man
you have to make thinner coatings. otherwise you'll get this orange peel effects.
Thats it... do what you gotta do. Car Manufacture paint has given people alot of ugly paint jobs a few years after they leave the lot, they aint what they use to be.
Wow
nice job well done and subscribe
Seems to me you are adding way too much thinner. The bubbling is the first big clue. Use a loaded roller. Full enough that paint doesn't drip with the roller, but holding as much paint as it can, I find using the oil based paint the way it should be properly thinned. Use Penetrol, a smoothing/ flowing - agent available a good paint stores Usually no more than 10%. The consistency should be more like cream than milk.
Don't over roll and keep going back over it as it dries. that causes stippling.
I was a house painter for years as a young man and painted a lot of industrial equipment, and a few personal trucks and cars . This has been my experience anyway
Mesmo não conseguindo tradução, só em assistir vídeos, é claro que eu gostaria de fazer, no meu carro, vó fazer, mesmo com rolinho apropriado a tinta, logo vai constatar, uma ligeira casca de laranja, mas faça, primeira de mão, espera 24 h ( secagem), faça segunda de mãos, após espera 48 h ( secagem ), faça última, terceira de mãos, aguardando 72 h ( secagem), caso queira, vamos ao lixamento, resumindo, não quero vender, meu carro pra ninguém, já aposentado e idoso, sonho realizado. Deus abençoe nós todos.
Eu só molhava a areia para a 2ª 3ª e 4ª demão, e 5ª demão de polimento com composto de polimento.
hey cool video I wanted to see a new video of the car you painted in this video of what the paint job looks like today. If you still have the car thanks. @c.spencer
I no longer have the car, but I work with the guy I sold it to, I will take a video of it sometime this coming week and post a link on the end of this video to give an update, (spoiler alert) it still looks great, I needs a wax though, I do not think my buddy has washed it since he bought it.
With Lidl quality standards 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
damn that orange peel
Very2 good job. Awesome...66 dislikes workshop..LOL🤣🤣🤣
Noice!!!! :-)
professional results? thats hilarious.
Don't you EVER touch my car ;)
You can do Amazing paint jobs by rolling and tipping... and it's not that hard to learn...
I'll NEVER pay rip-off shop prices ever again, been there... I'm rolling my '68 Austin Healey Sprite in a couple weeks
not professional as its still orange peely and has dull patches BUT that said its a roller job so not bad, good vid!
What are you doing? No way. Roller? My eyes in shock. Don't do this job anymore and anywhere. This is a car.! This is not a house.
too many HATERS and LOSERS in this comment section ... !
not worth it still hazy
Wet sanding is just a dump idea
I've been researching into spray painting and found a great website at Magic Painter Method (google it if you are interested)
ive been researching and you are a lying sack of spamming dogshit......
Good job
