I actually paint cars, quick tip after a few days wet sand (800grit) the 2k clear even and then put a thin coat of 2k clear over the car, the results will give you a professional look.
You might be able to help me. My car had a metallic paint and I got the paint mixed at a paint shop that supplies Toyota and such. The paint on the hood however came out a little dark and does not match the rest of the car. I did 4 coats with 2 cans of base. I only did the 4th coat to finish out the can. In retrospect, it wasn’t a bad idea. I heard metallic paint looks darker the more coats you have. Is this true? Also I heard metallic paint sinks. Any help with this would be great. And I used a 1k spray max clear coat and it is not shiny at all. Was only able to get the hood with 2 coats with 1 can.
I used to spray paint cars also with 2k spray cans n got good results, trust me once u buy urself a compressor and a descent spray gun u won’t ever wana rattle can a car again! Thumbs up for the can work tho!
He has sprayed 2k clear that way before on his orange car. Before it was orange it was grey and he sprayed 2k clear with a pearl over it. Some people prefer different methods.
@@sinformant yeah I know , he used a cheap spray gun on that car also when he sprayed the at, I was just saying he’ll save himself a lot of work once he starts spraying with better tools
I sprayed my 93 sc400 this same color. Completely agree with you, it’s a tough one to figure out but the job you did looks impeccable. Another quality content filled upload, thank you 🙏🏻
Please do a video of you wet sanding and buffing out this paint job. I would love to see it, if it’s possible. The car looks so good in that metallic blue. Probably my favorite paint job so far. Great job 👍
I watched this video 3 times and I'm highly impressed with the outcome james 👍 and have to say look at all the like compared to the dislikes I'm sure alot of people agree with me
Great job. You inspired me to paint my dodge ram a couple months ago. I will say for my first big spray paint job turned out pretty good using your method. Keep up the great work!
Keep it up buddy, nice work and thanks for the video shout out featuring my hard work as well. To all the haters throwing shade by judging or critique our craft and talent I stand by my buddy James Dguy. Creating a beautiful car aesthetic on a limited budget Is something you can do with determination and a vision of success regardless of your wallet share. I at least have the balls to show my video results to everyone, supporting Moore Motorsports and being dedicated to empowering all instead of bringing down an artist like James Dguy. Haters you can suck it, James keep on sharing your amazing results with videos like this! Allen
James, you are Legend! Im a pro painter and appreciate what you are doing for the DIY people. Most people dont know the difference between grade levels of paint but that dont matter. Rustoleum has come a long way and yes it will only last if you do your part but you can say the same about any paintjob even a 4000 dollar job. Cheers!
Very nice. I have been taking some of your tip, tricks and ideas and morphing them with mine. I always like bouncing ideas around to get "that" look that works for me. Thanks for the hard work. I just got done with some accent paint on black raptor Cobalt aka Project Defiant. Still have lots to finish but coming along as planned. Once again thanks for the ideas and how too's
That paint job is Amazing and makes me want to keep my 2000 Civic Hatch and Paint it bright yellow like the color of the 2019 Si Coupes. You all are certified savages. Keep up the awesome content which is very informative.
The Rustoleum cans say do not apply to surfaces that can reach 200 F. The hood over the engine can easily reach over 200 F in the summer (especially in Texas). Have you had any problems with the paint since applying it? My biggest concern is that the paint might catch on fire if it goes over 200 F. Thanks.
This would be great for my work truck. I think once the weather starts cooling off I’m going to try this with the black and then do a couple cans of clearcoat over it and then wet sand it. Those turbo cans are nice for the money. People seem to forget the purpose of this video. Not everyone wants a $3000 paint job. Some people just want a more presentable looking car to drive around. One decent color is better than a bunch of rust and faded paint by far.
Bro, that looks KILLER. When I did my test fender, the paint showed a purple pearl. Did you see that in this job? Man, you are a great inspiration to us DIY guys.
Your vids make me feel comfortable enough to spraypaint my own car. She's pretty beaten up on the exterior. Need to find a garage that I can borrow for a couple of days....
Hey man great job I had an ek sedan I did the same color it took 18 cans for me and I only needed four cans of the clear for the whole car. I also sprayed some clear on the wing and a repair on the door the vids in my bio but for real good job bro
I have a '99 Ford Contour, great little car that just won't die, needs paint badly but no $$$. Watched several of your videos and got the courage up to do just the spoiler/fin thing on the trunk the other day. Sanded, primed, painted, clear coated. Used all Rustoleum products. Was satisfied with everything but the actual paint itself. It was a silver metallic called Titanium Silver in the can that has the trigger instead of the button your depress like a regular can of spray paint. Wont use the trigger can again, came out of the can terrible. Anyway, long story short, the color was about a 90% match to the original color of the car, and so the spoiler/fin came out pretty good. 100% better than it did look. I will probably buy all the paint, primer and clear coat at one time, and then do a section at a time. I'm a 60 year old granny type, so auto paint is new to me. Really looking forward to making my old hooptie look better. Thank you for your videos, they're really great! You're insipring more people than you think!
This is impressive , I've use this paint before and it dries really fast, so congratulations on being able to keep the wet edge moving with the spray can's tiny fan width. I wish they sold this paint by the gallon. I would definitely spray a car with it in a hvlp gun. A nice metallic red or gun metal would also be cool colors.
Great job james.thats one of my favorite colors...I sure like you to repaint my 06 accord..it's dark mettilc grey..I do live in the Houston area..I think I would trust you more then someone else
I did the same thing on my RX-7 FC. Nothing beats a good paint job though. Also, shoot the clear after 1 hour or so. Don't do it immediately. It won't be as reflective.
i like your videos man, when i use to paint the cars my friend and I buy, we used spray cans. It was a budget thing, this was back in 2003. I no longer do this but its nice to see people still do this like you. great work man.
Nice job again James. Thanks for posting. Pay no arrention to the negative comments. But, hey, they're still commenting! Keep on doing your thing. Love it, man.
Ok serious question... If you already had a spray gun and compressor what would the cost difference be between buying quarts/gallons of paint and doing it yourself and this can method?
The 2K clear would have been like $50-60 but the metallic blue would have been way more out of a gun. Plus primer and I would have had to buy a bigger compressor because my wetta 5000 gun don’t do well with my small 8gallon compressor
Next time if your trying to lay something down and not sand try some type of sealer instead of primer. Itll give a good solid base coat and it lays out smoother than primer so itll turn out better in the long run. And another tip warming the clear up will probally cause it to dry alot quicker which will result in alot of orange peel. When clear lays down it needs time to dry its self and smooth out but with it warm may not have enuf time to do that. Just some tips man. Still looks amazing and done a great job on it. Color looks good and played out right and love the tail lights on the car too!! Nice work as always!!!
Love your video's. I am in the process of painting on old Bullnose F250 with a 6.9 idi diesel. With my time I can only work for an hour or so here and there and the weekends so your methods work perfectly for me.
Normal paint , less then 10 cans , metallic one full car , 20👀☑️ Checked! Wow 🤩 I like the color you must record it after sand and buff , 90% of orange will come off!
I was thinking about painting my toyota camry. I was thinking about doing black. But I heard black is hard to paint on large scales. I'm pretty experienced with spraycans on small projects.
This is cool, but it’s just a waste of $ to use 30+ spray cans. Just get a gallon of cheap 2k clear, some base coat (you can use Rustoleum if you insist), and a $15 harbor freight HVLP gun. You’ll save money and have better results. Work smarter not harder, but you do have good tips and do good work 👍🏻
BRO I was gonna do the same thing soon just green and then you made this video. Perfect lol. I wasn’t sure If I should use primer. I already painted my truck with rustoleum 2x using your videos as a guide. It came out great but I didn’t do the best in some places and I want to try again. Going for metallic green with 2k clear. Thanks for all your videos man glad you showed me the 2x I used it on my boat and all kinds of stuff lol. Great paint for what would otherwise require a serious paint like automotive or marine. Keep going!
You are AMAZING, I'm about to do my vehicle and these videos give so much confidence. Thanks for some pretty budget friendly and realistic to some of our lives videos.
Personal opinion here: I think you could have applied clear with a spraygun and got much better results 2 coats might not be enough to wet sand that clear , should have done 3 coats. The amount spent on 2k clear in a can is pretty much the same or more than a gallon of 2k clear from amazon Try doing a control coat next time with those cans to get your metallic from looking blotchy I’ve done a combination of base sprayed with spray can and clear with a spray gun and achieved damn near body shop quality paint jobs. I think these tips could help you improve your spray can paint jobs even further. Cheers 🍻
Gallon of 2k clear is cheaper than those $20 cans and is more manageable. I did the same color with rattle can (over 20 cans) with 2k clear by finish 1 with a harbor freight turbine. The finish is on my youtube. I will never rattle can a car ever again lol. It came out great though.
See the answer for this is yes and no. Let me explain what I mean.. my small 8 gallon compressor with my wetta 5000 spray gun would have had just as much orange peel due to low tank size and the cfm also you have to make 110% sure each time you mix clear it’s mixture is perfect and im a screw up so I would screw the mixture up (ask me how I know) lol I’m better with can than a gun but I have done both methods before. Either way the results always look decent in the end.
Moore Motorsports James Dguy I have a video on mixing paint, it’s not that hard especially with mixing cups or mixing stick , but I see your point with a spray gun with low cfm however, a more even application of clear and less dry spots I think could have benefited you in the end result. Regardless I applaud your talent with your spraycans, it’s not an easy thing to do.
Man that paint job came out really nice,ive been waiting for someone to spray their car with this color from rustoleum,,kinda reminds me of si blue...but you should have wet sand and buffed it......it would look spot on shiny if wet sanded and buffed..great video..2 thumbs up👍👍
Love spray painting cars. My Infiniti has a 2 tone black and blue rustoleum high performance enamal job on it now, gonna redo it in this over the summer. Some think spray paint is ricey but considering maaco is charging over $3000 and i don't want a wrap like every other hood trash car i see i think spray paint is a good option. That clear coat ain't cheap though. For those who think it turned out like shit I've seen and done some shitty spray jobs and thats not bad at all. You want perfect go find a custom painter and give him $8k and call it a day.
Hey man I live in temple I have already painted my bumper on my 05 mustang and it didn’t really turn out the way I wanted. I was wondering if you would like to give it a shot at the whole car. Could make some good content for your channel and I would pay for supplies. Just let me know. You do some good work man keep it up👍🏼
I’m not doing it full time for people I’m just taking on smaller projects. He is active in the military and we worked something out and felt I needed to help do my part. I’m always open to doing work just right now I’m backed up
@@JamesDguy no problem, I know how much work it is and I’ve been doing all the sanding and body work that needs to be done. Just thought I would see what you thought on the subject. And like I said I’m in Temple so if you ever need a new video let me know michaelpetzold12@gmail.com
Really nice job!!!! What was the name or paint number on the gun metal metallic? I want to paint my car that color. Can you order boxes of paint instead of going from store to store for the color paint?
@@JamesDguy ooh okay, I feel like that was kinda obvious lmao I should have known. Another question I can't find rust-oleum protective enamel anywhere near me. I've use them before but the place I got it from doesn't sell it anymore. Is rust-oleum 2x paint good?
I love how y'all took off the doors and everything and got all the jams and trunk hinges etc etc .. Looks good so does your brothers mint joint . 🔥 content on the channel it made me subscribe 💯
This color is super hard to spray. I did the same and it took over 20 cans with my ek hatch. Then I did finish 1 clear coat over the top with a hvlp turbine sprayer. Video on my profile of the finish. It actually came out great. But I'd never ever spray a metallic out the can ever again. It's extremely difficult to keep a constant flow on the metallic.
You do a damn good job with these man. My problem is my hand starts hurting after like 5 minutes lol. But I just painted my whole car black with the turbo cans and came out amazing!
This video came across my feed. I don’t know how you do it. I helped a buddy restored a car and when I spray clear I needed to be suited up due to the sticky feeling. Good looking job. BTW, I see the stickers and plates and saw you are in cove. I graduated years ago from there and am now in the Austin area. Keep up the good work.
@@elsey1976 i used the back of an old tag. I sprayed primer on bare metal. Waited about 15 min, then sprayed the metallic blue. First coat looked good. Waited about 15 more min and sprayed a second coat and it wrinkled. It was about 95 degrees outside when I did this.

Painted 3 cars with spray cans now. Never actually tried a gun before 😂 looks great man
I don’t like the gun as much believe it or not. Sometimes the gun lays better on certain colors but mostly I prefer the can route
Looks awesome! How did u have not any problems with overspray and stripes
Temperature being cooler helps you keep the panel wet longer which allows for less stripes and doing multiple coats helps too.
Great job james.thats one of my favorite colors...I sure like you to repaint my 06 accord..it's dark mettilc grey..I do live in the Houston area..I think I would trust you more then someone else

As usual awesome job brother. Keep up the good work! U inspire me brother
Im 15 and buying a 800 honda accord hopefully i can re paint it light blue to make it look fire
nice color
Honestly your rattle can job is better then what I managed with a proper gun. Was my first time though I fucked up big time gotta re-sand everything
Nicely done JAMES love how your channel teaches us your methods. To produce awesome results with different color scheme!
Good job, looking forward to seeing the wet sanding video. Look after your health with that 2k clear.
You killed it bro! Another banger!
I did the same thing on my RX-7 FC. Nothing beats a good paint job though. Also, shoot the clear after 1 hour or so. Don't do it immediately. It won't be as reflective.
Looking good. Keep up the great work

I was thinking about painting my toyota camry. I was thinking about doing black. But I heard black is hard to paint on large scales. I'm pretty experienced with spraycans on small projects.
Black seems to be easier to shoot than this metallic was. Temperature is key though. The cooler it is the nicer the black lays down for me
How long will these paint last on the car, will it fade throughout time
With the 2K it last a long time. It’s the same kinda clear that gets shot out of the gun just in a can for easy spraying convenience
Hi. Great Video. What was the Final Cost to Paint it?
After 2 years how is this paint job holding up??
So Ik you work with rustoleum have you tired the color shift or anything if not I think it would be a cool video to see how it looks and holds up
This is cool, but it’s just a waste of $ to use 30+ spray cans. Just get a gallon of cheap 2k clear, some base coat (you can use Rustoleum if you insist), and a $15 harbor freight HVLP gun. You’ll save money and have better results. Work smarter not harder, but you do have good tips and do good work 👍🏻
Agree, spray is good for small repairs
how many walmarts did you have to visit to find that many cans of paint. usually when I look only 1 or 2 cans each color.

Personal opinion here:
I think you could have applied clear with a spraygun and got much better results
2 coats might not be enough to wet sand
that clear , should have done 3 coats.
The amount spent on 2k clear in a can is pretty much the same or more than a gallon of 2k clear from amazon
Try doing a control coat next time with those cans to get your metallic from looking blotchy

Hey man I live in temple I have already painted my bumper on my 05 mustang and it didn’t really turn out the way I wanted. I was wondering if you would like to give it a shot at the whole car. Could make some good content for your channel and I would pay for supplies. Just let me know. You do some good work man keep it up👍🏼
I’m not doing it full time for people I’m just taking on smaller projects. He is active in the military and we worked something out and felt I needed to help do my part. I’m always open to doing work just right now I’m backed up
@@JamesDguy no problem, I know how much work it is and I’ve been doing all the sanding and body work that needs to be done. Just thought I would see what you thought on the subject. And like I said I’m in Temple so if you ever need a new video let me know michaelpetzold12@gmail.com
I need help......I want to do my wheels like a candy red can you point me in the right direction of what paint to get and where to get the clear
As for candy im not good with that. I have a link in my description for the clear coat
@@JamesDguy I seen some stuff at autozone called metalcast I kinda what to try it out
Great job !!!the damn near best paint job! I seen spray can, on the internet considering I seen a whole lot of videos!!!
That's a dope color!
Really nice job!!!! What was the name or paint number on the gun metal metallic? I want to paint my car that color. Can you order boxes of paint instead of going from store to store for the color paint?
You can order them online
Cobalt Blue.
@@elsey1976 I dont want the car color I want the trim color.
When you are wetsandind is it okay to use a palm sander?
If using a palm sander while wet sanding it could short it out if it’s not a air sander. I prefer a air sander and wet sanding than anything else.
@@JamesDguy ooh okay, I feel like that was kinda obvious lmao I should have known. Another question I can't find rust-oleum protective enamel anywhere near me. I've use them before but the place I got it from doesn't sell it anymore. Is rust-oleum 2x paint good?
I love how y'all took off the doors and everything and got all the jams and trunk hinges etc etc .. Looks good so does your brothers mint joint . 🔥 content on the channel it made me subscribe 💯
What hood vent is that ? I want on my civic
He made them himself
Nice job. But how did you decide when to change cans before the spray can starts to spit?
This color is super hard to spray. I did the same and it took over 20 cans with my ek hatch. Then I did finish 1 clear coat over the top with a hvlp turbine sprayer. Video on my profile of the finish. It actually came out great. But I'd never ever spray a metallic out the can ever again. It's extremely difficult to keep a constant flow on the metallic.
Yes exactly!!
Looks amazing
Great job looks really good bro. Im definitely going to get at my 98 civic ill make video how can I send it to you. Keep them videos coming.
That is awesome. It looks like it came that way.
You do a damn good job with these man. My problem is my hand starts hurting after like 5 minutes lol. But I just painted my whole car black with the turbo cans and came out amazing!
What were u talking about with glued windshield strip moldings?
Any idea how the paint held up over the past couple of years?
With the 2K SprayMaxx clear it should hold up just as well if not better than local paint shops.
Game changer looks awesome bro
This video came across my feed. I don’t know how you do it. I helped a buddy restored a car and when I spray clear I needed to be suited up due to the sticky feeling. Good looking job.
BTW, I see the stickers and plates and saw you are in cove. I graduated years ago from there and am now in the Austin area. Keep up the good work.
i like this deep silver blue! good job!!
I tried spraying some of this color on a test panel, and I had problems with it wrinkling up. It is hard to spray and get it to look good.
No. It reacted with the paint underneath. I did a test fender and had no wrinkles. Did you primer?
@@elsey1976 i used the back of an old tag. I sprayed primer on bare metal. Waited about 15 min, then sprayed the metallic blue. First coat looked good. Waited about 15 more min and sprayed a second coat and it wrinkled. It was about 95 degrees outside when I did this.
