    The hood didn't come out the best due to wax still present. He is replacing the hood anyways so we didn't spend A LOT of time on fixing or correcting the hood. I know its not perfect the point was to show you how we prep/how good and glossy the new formula from Rustoleum is. The 2X Ultimate is the best shine for price paint. All hate comments will be deleted so don't waste your time. We will be putting the other hood on and will do a update.

    I have to be honest my family owned a body shop in the 80’s so I have painted using all types of products but the work you can put out with a spray can is impressive your videos Are not only cool to watch but very. Instructional why anyone would say anything derogatory in a post here is just mind boggling to me .ypu can agree to disagree and that’s fine it helps keep your channel growing but you have inspired me to give it a shot using your spray can method thank you for your time and the great videos I’ll be watching ..

    Spray paint cans in Canada are $10-$15 each. And if you’re worried about imperfections, consider a semi gloss or a satin coat, they don’t highlight the little blemishes. Personally I’m all for the high gloss. I’d be proud and more excited for a DIY $100 paint job than a paying $3000 for one!

      Yes and now in Canada some of the duplicolor spray cans are 21, 24 and the 1k high gloss clear is 38 dollars a can. The spray max 2k clear is also 38 dollars a can.
      Its ridiculous.

    I've done a lot of repair jobs using spray paint on my cars over the years and people couldn't even tell It was repainted. I would typically use Dupli base color to match the original color and then apply the Dupli color lacquer clear on top of that. It always came out really shiny and clean looking.

    Very nice for canned paint. Good job guys. I have some older cars that I love but use as daily drivers and of course, have to keep them up. I typically use "the ten-foot" rule: if it looks good at ten feet, you're done - esp. with older cars that are not classics but you just want to make them look decent w/o spending huge sums of money. So when you drive by people in other cars or people standing on the sidewalk, the appearance is quite good to them - AND most people just don't even notice any flaws unless they're car buffs and walk up close and stare at the paint. I have done some panels and later wet-sanded, as you remarked, and it can look really spectacular with a wet-sand. Good job.

    2)what base primer do you use for bare metal section?
    3) high gloss vs enamel? Durability? Finish?
    4) Sanding only with 320 before painting or can I go higher and achieve better resultes?

      Gerardo Serrano I would go with gloss white ultimate from rest oleum. 320 is what I used to just kind a break to clear and smooth everything out you can go higher for better results but I have went 400 to 600 grit and the results came out just the same. I would get 10 cans instead of eight just in case you need more. And if you’re going to go ahead and spend the effort might as will get some 2K clear from spray Max. Type in spray Max clearcoat and you will thank me later

    What a great job for how quick you prepped it. Amazing! Just shows you that anyone with time, patience and a little knowledge.. can do anything. My only suggestion really is to get the trigger gun attachment for the cans because I'm sure your fingers cramped up pushing down the spray button also because a lot of the attachments can spray out like a fan to make coating easier. One more thing.. If you put a gray or white basecoat down first there will always be less visible imperfections.. but since he getting new hood doesn't matter. Keep up the excellent videos. You're awesome.

    I used Rust-Oleum ultra gloss black with ultra gloss and clear on a bmX bike 10 years ago, It was really shiny but had a mild orange peel.

      @JamesDguy  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It will if you lay it on thicker. Lighter the coats the less the peel.

    Did you clear coat the paint after? Or does that paint have a protective layer in it?

      @JamesDguy  6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Jordy Worley Protective later in it. But 2k clear is preferred after

    when the hood heats up does it start smelling like paint? or melting?

    • @keratominstan1725
      @keratominstan1725 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      These paints can withstand 200 F degrees, an engine reaches maybe 300-400 on the block, and the engine bay is alot lower.

    @hesterjosh6374 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did the same thing to my Hyundai Tiburon. As far as the black hood and top on a blue car . But I used a 2k clear coat afterwards and I love the way it looks. Way better than it looked with the chipped clear coat.

    This looks REALLY nice. Quick question about the cans. I've heard that sitting them in warm water helps atomization. Have you tried that? I know you mentioned that cooler weather is best so was just wondering.

    Whatever happened to the before and after the fix from the trolls. I take it the trolls like to drive the before. If that what turns them on, keep on tracking 👣. And where is their before and after from them. Maybe they spend their $40 on chips and hot beer. Great job, dude👍

    @motomedic546 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think the mirrors would have looked better black also. Just a thought. But awesome job! You have boosted my confidence in trying stuff like this. I actually painted a lot with spray cans about twenty years ago when I was just out of high school and I couldn’t afford custom paint jobs on my motocross helmets so I decided to do it myself and got pretty good at it. Again awesome job!
