mainly the wheels, eventually new tires will remove that problem, but the wheels now need some work to get it off. Plus the tires, besides the sidewall much of the paint will come off as the tread wears away
BTW - for a 125, it totally turned a 500 beater into a 1500 beater! And that's bank right there. And yes - if you wait a week or more, you can sand/buff that paint. IF it's warm out! If it's getting chilly where you are, wait a month or more. Which puts us all into winter, so do it inside (don't try to do it to a cold/frozen surface).
Thanks! Yes its been chilly here. About 7 days later the paint isnt hard enough that id be comfortable cut/buff. Maybe in a few weeks if I find the motivation but its good enough.
In the late 1980s I painted my 1949 Chevy pickup with a bright red implement paint from a Farm n Home store... I used a reducer and hardener in my mix and threw 1 packet of a pearl additive in, and I did 3 coats... outside, early in the morning, about 40 feet from the house.... It was very still out, I got just a couple of runs, and there were no flash areas or fisheyes anywhere, and the paint actually laid down very smooth.... It actually looked great from 10 feet away, but 3 months later, when I wet sanded the imperfections and buffed the entire truck out (3 entire MY days), it wasn't a show quality, but all I ever got was compliments and people bragging on it... I'd never painted a vehicle before that, and haven't since either.... I remember the total for everything was like $120 at the time..... a buddy lent me his sprayer gun n compressor and sanders...... A guy at a bar sprayed a half dozen vehicles in the parking lot with gravel after he was thrown out, and MY truck was one of them...... That paint is some tough stuff, because you could see where the gravel hit as tiny puffs of dust were left behind.... Not a peck, scratch, chip, NOthin on my truck..... but there were factory paints that had damage and people were not happy....
I once painted a 1979 Mini in bright red farmsheen enamel,made for commercials,post boxes,machinery,tractors etc. got some practice in on a few old panels to work out the best approach,It came out much better than I ever imagined it would and was tough too😊.
Dude, this is as real as it gets. This is my kind of channel. I just found your channel and now I have to go back and watch all of your other videos. Good work, man.
My last paint project was a thirty footer. Said never again but you’re inspiring me. Often wondered about those cheap guns and magic paint. Thanks for keeping it real !!!
This one came out okay, but when I go to paint something that's actually nice it comes out horrible. Im about 2 for 5 on paint jobs. Its very frustrating.
Great job. Certainly boiled it down to getting paint on a car without all the many steps a lot of TH-camrs go through. I’ve shot rattle cans instead of the prep to spray using a gun but your approach gave me confidence to go with tractor supply. A ten footer is ok for my project and not I don’t need to spend a fortune on rattle cans. The time savings alone will be with it. Thanks for a practical video that has motivated me and given me confidence to try.
I've painted two cars with that red and yes, you can cut and buff. It holds up well but you'll need to wax it the old fashioned way occasionally. After 5 years it's held up decently, though the price has doubled since I did it 😮
This is one of the best diy paint jobs I've seen here on TH-cam. Drape a few large garbage bags over your tires, it's quick & easy. I hope you will get some painting masks, even though you were outside. Very good job!
For the newbs trying this... those HF purple guns have a 2.0mm tip on them! Very easy to dump on too much paint, and you'll get vertical surface runs. They then don't atomize that great if you dial down the settings and you'll get a lot of orange peel. It IS possible to do it! But don't get frustrated at your skill set if you don't get the desired results. Try to find a gun with a 1.3 tip - you'll get to go slower and more careful, and have a better chance at a good job.
That is a great point regarding the tip size. Know anything about the new HF "black widow" gun? Id like to try a better gun to spray real auto paint on a couple of other cars I am working on. Its 170 bucks so its a gamble as ive seen real professional guns selling used for not much more.
@@spankranchgarage - If memory serves, that's the one that got tested on Paint Society and he gave it a thumbs up. Of course, he's a pro, and can probably use a cheap tray & roller and have it look great. :D
i been using 3.0 tip on a hvlp devilbis for 20 plus plus years for doing rustoleum on vehicles. Always works great for me.. btw i thin the rustolem with lacquar thinner and use the tractor supply store ..paint hardener n i only use 220 grit sandpaper only .. btw ..i will never spray actual automotive paint .. . i'm pure #oldskool
I ran an old C50 chevy dump for years with brush paint on it. Nobody complained about the stone I delivered with it. So I guess the brush paint worked fine
I have painted many old semis, trailers, tractors, equipment, and few cars. The majic stuff was usually my least favorite to work with, I dont know how to word it but its "sticky". Probably due to the fact it soybean oil based, using a strong thinner like xylol (instead of their expensive reducer) and painting on a hot sunny day helps. Used to just deal with it back when it used to be 35 a gal vs 50 rustoleum implement (not regular) when painting cheap stuff but with the recent price hike it just sucks. Ace/Krylon works pretty good too. I usually dump way more hardener too, keeps er shinny longer. Found an old binks spray gun with a good air filter set up at estate auction and it was night/day between the same exact spraygun you are using. Great video!
Awesome to hear. In hindsight I wish I used more hardner. I am hoping to put some good wax on this to hopefully slow down the UV fade. Ive painted equipment with this stuff and it seems to be holding up well but people are telling me this is going to be pink in a few months. We will see I guess.
This wasn't bad at all. I'd imagine that a job like this in black would be overall better for hiding any imperfections. Rest assured, your job is better than what I would accomplish! 🎉🎉🎉
I used this paint in spray can form to paint my engine block and was impressed. It really took a while to get out of the tacky stage but it really leveled out nice and dried hard seems really durable.
Crazy how thin the paint was during this 92(ish)-05(thereabouts) era. I have a jdm vehicle from 89 that you could literally snag your finger on just the base coat layer of paint if you sanded a spot down to the primer next to a good spot.
That was the era of early water based products being used more,a lot of it was shit. We used to use an expensive water based texture for bumpers, if you finished in anything finer then 280# it would peel off the surface.
I've done similar paint jobs. Instead of the old color in the jams I mask and paint the jams and trunk area with cheap black spray paint cost is low but leaves a clean result
Car looks nice! I have been looking heavily into this trying to decide if tractor paint or single stage solid for my 54 chevy truck (driver). ONE thing: You are young but soon you wont be - please wear a respirator. If you can smell it, it's doing damage. I take many fun risks in my life that could kill me, but I wear a bunny suit, gloves, and a full face breather when I paint. Surfing, race cars, mountain climbing, and many other risks: Whatever. But risks like this just arent worth it.
You are 100% right. I need to do better with PPE. For your 54 I think it would be a shame to use the tractor paint. While it looks fine now I expect it to fade out in the near future. Thats fine for this car which will be scrap soon. But for your chevy, its maybe only double the cost to use real automotive paint that will resist the UV.
@@spankranchgarage funny we talk about this, I am going to be taking a full face respirator and using a shop vac to force outside air into it, and the positive pressure will make it impossible for fumes to get in… Super safety conscious in the shop Part of me thinks that faded farm equipment looking paint is appropriate for an old truck… I’m certainly not looking for anything shiny, which is what turned me off from Automotive paint. 50s paint jobs weren’t nearly as shiny as modern paint jobs, which is wouldn’t let me to tractor paint… Maybe an Eastwood single stage solid color? But still I think it’s a bit too mirror like for a 50s vehicle. I’m so very much not sure what to do I wish the guy I got it from just left it all the uploading instead of restoring it
I've used this paint and am not satisfied at all. It looks great at first, I used Massy Ferguson flint gray. After about a year, it looks like a flat gray primer, and I used everything from their products primer, thiner, and hardener. I don't recommend it. I'm very dissatisfied with this product. I'm repainting with quality automotive paint that I can trust. BTW I've been painting for many years, and it's not like I don't know what I'm doing. Best of luck to anyone using this product.
Bought one just like this new and it was a great car. Infero red 5 speed and was actually a little bit fun to drive just has a bad reputation. I had mine for 10 years put 38k miles on it and never needed anything but a set of tires and bushings in the shifter. If that one is squishy going into gear it is a simple fix
Looks great for the year. Most of the Neons I've seen look like the before. And the color is fine, I've seen a few in bright red, in fact my ex had the 96 in red until she decided to repaint it Pepto bismal pink, and later wrecked it.
I like it my guy, that turned out nice. Yes you can cut n buff this paint. Should probably wait a good long time. Maybe just hit it with 3000 grit then a little hand buffing and call it good.
Its not about the paint quality or the painters skill level. It's all about the clear coat finish shot on top of it. And the motivation to buff if necessary.
Thanks for doing this video. I've seen this paint at tractor supply for as low as $22 to $30 I was wondering if it was worth the money and time in your video says it definitely is. ❤
Great job! Thanks for sharing! You don't worry about breathing in those paint particles while sanding? As a teen, I once painted a men's bathroom where p1ss had caused massive rust in gray painted metal walls. When I got home that evening, blew my nose, lots of gray sludge came out of my nose - no idea how much made it all the way to my lungs! I didn't make that mistake again! I've lived another 40 years since, so maybe it didn't shorten my life much (hopefully) - Be careful out there. Thanks for taking the time to record and show this - very helpful.
You have to use the hardener. I've used this paint many times. I used it without hardener while practicing and the scrap fender I sprayed stayed soft. I couldn't sand it down to use for practice anymore. Also the hardener works with rustoleum
Yes u can cut and buff after about a month to fully cure, used the kubota orange and black on truck and turned out great after cut and buff and you can also 2k clear over it
I used to own a delivery company and I just bought second hand cars and painted them with this, As long as the people knew the the Red. black and blue cars and trucks were mine that's all that mattered. I never fixed the dents or faded and cracked bumpers or anything because the worse they looked the better Painted them with a brush and roller and yes it looked like crap we had paint runs and bad lines and everyone pointed out how bad it looked and that was Great because any free advertising is good advertising , We had people call to order things just to see the paint jobs, All the cars were fit for the road I made sure they all passed a legal safety and had new tires and breaks '' safety first '' , I got to know the cops pretty well lol
I have used that paint twice on a car. Definitely use the hardener, and keep it waxed. It will sun fade (at least with some colors) I used yellow and black the yellow faded noticeably after sitting out one winter. The black dulled and greyed fairly noticeably after a couple years (garage kept all year long).
Wish you would have listed the items used to do this diy project I would gladly try it out on my truck never done this before but willing to try anything before paying a pro something about diy just saves money and the knowledge is priceless all in it's own. So I will try diy.
OK I did this with Bright Yellow paint. Just after I got a stunningly beautiful wet look coat on the hood one of those giant 3 inch long moths did a three point landing in the geographical center of the hood. His feet stuck in the wet paint but he wanted freedom so he beat his wings rapidly which turned him around in circles in my wet paint. Between his feet and his wings it left an interesting design in the paint, but I had to let it dry and start all over. I knida wish I had covered him in paint and let dry and used him for a hood ornament.
I use Implement paint all the time, the trick for cars/ truck the trick is to thin it out more and use less hardner, my mix is generally 6:1:.75, 6 parts paint, 1 part Thiner .75 part hardner, the thinner the paint is the less Hardner you need to use by doing a 1:1 thinner hardner mix with less paint then the paints going to be brittle because it got too hard too fast and you end up with 90's factory paint jobs that was fading and peeling after year 3.
Looks good, thanks for the video. I am going to do a similar project with a K5 Blazer. It is a crawler that is made for the trail however I need to paint it to get the HOA off my back. How much of that paint did you wind up using? How much do you think I should get for a K5? Thanks again.
This Neon took a little over a half gallon to put enough paint down to feel right. I have a k5 I need to paint as well. I think a gallon is plenty. I think they sell quarts too so thats nice to keep in mind for touch up in the future
I think it looks great aside from painting the tires
mainly the wheels, eventually new tires will remove that problem, but the wheels now need some work to get it off. Plus the tires, besides the sidewall much of the paint will come off as the tread wears away
That comes off with paint thinner
I mean like some garbage bags are cheap
...and the exhaust pipe.
@@fender.munoz7 a lot easier to put newspaper over it before....
BTW - for a 125, it totally turned a 500 beater into a 1500 beater! And that's bank right there.

I’ve been using this stuff for years to paint dumpster trucks works great. They also make a oil base clearcoat that will give you a little more shine.

We are particularly fond of the reddish accents on the tires.
It does not look like a fire extinguisher that was hit by a train.
I was like, they're going to know, your tires are red.
No problem, he's going to spray paint the tires black.

I painted my '07 civic twice now with expensive Rustoleum rattle cans, wish I had used this method.
Great looking neon. Definitely an improvement from how it did look.
Great job ! Love it
Looks good can’t believe there’d match swear there was an original red color for the neon in that red color
I used this paint in spray can form to paint my engine block and was impressed. It really took a while to get out of the tacky stage but it really leveled out nice and dried hard seems really durable.
There's wipe on clear coat now, if the clear coats is problem. Cheaper and faster than a tractor paint, and keeps oem paint.
Have you tried that stuff? I considered it but since I had to repair body panels it needed paint anyway.
You got a mirror finish! Great paint job bro! Love the Dodge Neon ❤️🙏🏻

Good info on Tractor Supply paint vs Rust Oleum.
Only time will tell. Others are telling me this tractor paint will fade as well
Wildest paintjob halfass I've heard of has to be a Rolled On job. This looks Pretty Not Terrible

The human body can handle a lot but I shouldn't push it any more than I need to. Starting to take PPE more seriously
That’s good value for money come up real good you gotta be happy with that
Much much better than those cheap weak UV protection clearcoat.
You undersold yourself! This is better than a 10 foot paint job.
looks like an arms length job to me which is more than good enough for an old run around beater car.
You have to use the hardener. I've used this paint many times. I used it without hardener while practicing and the scrap fender I sprayed stayed soft. I couldn't sand it down to use for practice anymore.
Also the hardener works with rustoleum
It passes my eye test,the best part adding the pop into job thats what made so smooth!!
So much pop I forgot to mask the tires off :)
Yes u can cut and buff after about a month to fully cure, used the kubota orange and black on truck and turned out great after cut and buff and you can also 2k clear over it
You had me at Hacky!!!!!
Looks great for the price.. congratulations.
Red wheels and exhaust.....nice....😂
I used to own a delivery company and I just bought second hand cars and painted them with this,
As long as the people knew the the Red. black and blue cars and trucks were mine that's all that mattered. I never fixed the dents or faded and cracked bumpers or anything because the worse they looked the better
Painted them with a brush and roller and yes it looked like crap we had paint runs and bad lines and everyone pointed out how bad it looked and that was Great because any free advertising is good advertising , We had people call to order things just to see the paint jobs, All the cars were fit for the road I made sure they all passed a legal safety and had new tires and breaks '' safety first '' ,

Ouch! Yeah thats what its sounding like, this thing might be pink soon enough. Im going to keep it waxed and just see what happens.
It’s a Neon, getting a 6/10 when giving a 4/10 is a win. You are right not to push it, the value isn’t going up anytime soon.
Good work. Clean car and look Good.
Wish you would have listed the items used to do this diy project I would gladly try it out on my truck never done this before but willing to try anything before paying a pro something about diy just saves money and the knowledge is priceless all in it's own. So I will try diy.
I did show the items at the beginning. Tractor supply paint, a 12 pack of soda, harbor freight spray gun, and some masking and prep supplies
I did something similar with handicapped blue parking lot stripe paint. It was decent for 4 years.
Might want to add a Clear Coat for more protection. SHe looks NICE with that Fire Red.
Sun plays with your eyes. Direct sunlight reflecting off new paint makes it macco. Shine. Look at it under lights for reality √.
It's nicer looking than any car I have ever owned. I think it came out great 👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome job turned out pretty good could be your next daily n save on the dirty max lol cool video man
I used Tractor Supply paint and hardener to paint a trailer that I then sold and it looked great. Can recommend!👍
Looks good for a cheap paint job and the time spent on the car !
Keep some tweezers on you when painting a lot of times you can catch debri right when it happens and the paint will settle back in.
Looks really good.
Bro that thing looks cherry! fantastic job for 125 bucks
Aloha 🤙
Thanks 👍
We called them the 30-30 jobs. They look good 30 feet away going 30 mph 😅 Looks great 👍
I’m happy with a 50-50!
Good job man.
Looks better than the paint job I did on my shitbox
Great job
I am impressed 😊
I'm about to spray a car in tractor paint too. Nice rims :)
As we see in the business, it looks good from my house as long as you live in a different state

I knida wish I had covered him in paint and let dry and used him for a hood ornament.
That's hilarious!
I think it's really nice for a low budget paint job for cheap roller
Great job!
Looks good from here
Good job. I painted my truck with grey. Not as good as yours but I too was happy with it.
Nice work!
We did old ford wrecker blue white. Awesome
How long ago? Any fading yet?
It's all in the prep.....the painting is easy.
It looks very good! 😎
Eye popping beautiful.
Nice job!
Impressed
It needs more paint on the tires
Good job on that TSC paint job
I use Implement paint all the time, the trick for cars/ truck the trick is to thin it out more and use less hardner, my mix is generally 6:1:.75, 6 parts paint, 1 part Thiner .75 part hardner, the thinner the paint is the less Hardner you need to use by doing a 1:1 thinner hardner mix with less paint then the paints going to be brittle because it got too hard too fast and you end up with 90's factory paint jobs that was fading and peeling after year 3.
That is some good info!
@@spankranchgarage That's what this hobby is all about, sharing info.
I bought a bunch of Hammerite blue on discount and plan to roller paint my car with it.
With practice and trial and error it would be a great spray job and would be a factory f finish d
Good job..i liked it
Very nice!
Overall I’m shocked it came out that nice but it did . Nice job 👍🏼
Looks good, thanks for the video. I am going to do a similar project with a K5 Blazer. It is a crawler that is made for the trail however I need to paint it to get the HOA off my back. How much of that paint did you wind up using? How much do you think I should get for a K5? Thanks again.
This Neon took a little over a half gallon to put enough paint down to feel right. I have a k5 I need to paint as well. I think a gallon is plenty. I think they sell quarts too so thats nice to keep in mind for touch up in the future
Thank you for the response! Okay great. When you paint the K5 you should do a video of it.
I may. I need to weld new rockers and some other body work. I am going to use real auto paint on the blazer however. 2 tone with a clear coat
Next time drape a blanket around each wheel
