This vid is awesome! I just bought some gross looking hydroflasks for 5 bucks from my schools lost and found sale and thank god I found your video.
That's awesome!!! I'm sure you're gonna do great when it comes to painting them! Be sure to take time 😃
You are literally a life saver man!
I'm glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!
Love the detailed steps. Thanks for the video. I’ve got a 64 oz hydro flask I plan to restore.
Thanks a ton for watching!
Great project. Thanks for sharing !!
Thank you very much, David! I might do a quick update at some point in the future in which I'll be more careful with the bottle. But for now, the steps and logic in this video should still apply. Thanks for watching!
Wow thank you I have a hydro Flask that I still like using but doesn’t look appealing with all the dents and chipped paint but I’m not ready to let it go I’ve been wanting to bring it back to life with some TLC but just didn’t know what grit would be best and the type of paint to use but thanks for the awesome step by step guide .
Sorry for the delay here! Personally, I think any verathane product would work well! As for grit, I'd say working your way up to 220 or 320 would be fine
The drop just gives it character🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha, I love your perspective, thanks for being so positive!
How long did you wait between painting and sealing? Is it okay to seal it if it’s still a bit tacky?
Sorry for the late response here, I just saw this. But yes! I normally wait 15 mins or so. It's a tiny bit tacky at that point, but not too tacky.
Hello! Can I just use a krylon rust protecter+primer for spray painting?
I would think so! I think the paint brand is really just preference, but most of them work similarly 🙂
@@MakingMadeSimple would i still need to put a sealant?
@@koric3900 I would, just to ensure it's protected! It would still look fine without one, but it probably wouldn't last as long
So does it form condensation on the outside of the can now since the old paint is gone now?
Great question! But in my experience, it has worked the exact same way that it did with the old paint. I don't think the paint does much in terms of the temperature insulation, this mostly comes from the actual stainless steel. I still use this bottle frequently, and no issues so far!
@@MakingMadeSimple thanks I shall try now 👌
Awesome - let me know how it goes!
Mine after I done the process it have moisture outside the can everytime I put ice in the can
@@raynielfernandez7982 that's really strange. The insulation on HydroFlasks comes from the material of the container, not the paint. The paint is just a method of customization.
This sounds like a dumb question but can you use a different color of paint like a matte or something??
Not a dumb question at all! You definitely can use the paint of your choice! I'd just say to make sure the label confirms it can be used on metal surfaces.
Ok thank you
Do I need to sand it if the paint is new? I want to paint a freebee I was given!
I'd say sanding is always a good idea!
How does it hold up to washing?
Great question! Great so far! I wouldn't recommend putting it in a dishwasher, but hand-washing has worked well.
Could you have left it bare after sanding, Or is that not a good idea?
You can, but I think it's much more likely for the paint to peel off that way
Can you please restore mine as well??
you dropped the ball on this one
Absolutely. I think what hurt the most is that I was so close to being done with the project! haha
Omg!!
I know! Dropping it was terrible. But hopefully you learned something new from the video!
@@MakingMadeSimple ya
But the tools you used are not available
@@mehul34251 if you don't have an orbital sander, don't worry! I did mention in the video that this can be done entirely without it. You can sand by hand, and get very good results. And sandpaper only costs a few dollars, if you do decide to do so. Start off with something like 150 grit sandpaper, and then smoothen out the surface using either 220, or 240 grit sandpaper. If you use this method, you don't have to take the paint off entirely. You can just sand the existing paint, and you should be able to paint right over it.
Thanks!! well I am Indian so rupees
POV: You dont have a hydroflask 🥲🔫
Haha, they're great investments, if you ever decide to get one in the future. Definitely pricey, but they do a great job!
Also, a lot of the painting techniques used on the bottle totally apply to other things, whether it be used furniture, or random items around the house. Thanks for watching!
Hope you stopped crying now
Haha, thanks Mike! I'll have to re-do the entire bottle soon.
