I agree. I don’t have the patience for stupid intros, watching those other clowns driving to the store to buy the products, and then taking 20 minutes to open the boxes.
if u use 4 parts paint and 3 parts acetone and 2 caps full of catylist hardner it will hold up just like reg auto paint there is a lot of hotrods painted with it and last for years
Great job to show a cheap paint job. I have owned a body shop for 35 years and painted with Rust-Oleum acetone and hardener then clear-coated After applying the base coat completely wet sanded then two coats of clearcoat. There was definite areas that required some wet sanding and buffing wear orange peel occurred because of my spray overlay and hand speed with the gun. I'm not going to blame it on the product in other instances orange peel did not happen. I've had orange peel with every type of automotive paint used and I will repeat did usually never came down to the product but hand control of the gun.

Thanks for the comment - I enjoyed reading it. I agree with you on getting orange peel with any paint. By the way, what did you use for clear over rustoleum? Thanks again - Jerry
AWESOME video!! To the point, clear, no annoying talk and/or music. Thanks. I’m going to spray a car hauler, so it’s not going to be a work of art that has to look good, but I want it to look better!!

It’s also cool that it’s way cheaper and you can do a color change over the weekend if you’re bored.
Very nice video easy to understand and I wanted to ask you do you spray or clear coat after this and what kind of clear coat also how long do you wait to paint over the first layer how many clear coats do you use and the time in between the coats
If you clear it with enamel or urethane you'll have to scuff it or sand it with some very fine grit paper after it cures (takes a while for this stuff to cure). I'd wait about a month actually then 10 minutes between coats of clear :)
Thank you for the efforts and putting your video together. I know now how to mix my Rust-Oleum paint. Sometimes we just need showed something once or twice so we know how to do it ourselves. Again thank you for the video.
I've heard of folks doing it but I have not. I would wait till the rustoleum completely dried - like a month or more then wet sand with 600 or finer. Then go ahead and clear it - can't really go wrong like that :)
Hi Jerry, I finally painted one of my old trucks with Rustoleum, '78 Chevy. It turned out pretty good. It's Safety Blue. It was a pretty beat up old truck, I had a ton of bodywork to do. I missed a couple dings too, Lol! Thank you for your awesome videos!!
I love hearing that. Who cares if there are a few mistakes - it happens to everyone. It's the guy/gal that can work with or repair their mistakes that succeeds. With every job you get better :)
If you use hardener in the paint, I think it would hold up quite well. Rustoleum holds up pretty well if you buff it every once in a while like lacquer but not as well as more expensive automotive paints.
Right around 20-25 psi. I keep it a bit low eliminate excessive fumes and over spray. It really doesn't matter as long as the paint is wet. Like a spray bomb can - real low pressure but you can still get great results.
Another great video! I have not tried Acetone but did a lot with Rustoleum and Xylene and it worked great on new steel (angle, channel, square tubing etc). Back when the big 8 & 10 foot dish antennas were sprouting everywhere (70s & 80s?) I was building antenna mounts for them, along with other metal fab work. Rustoleum cut with Xylene was my go-to paint. Looked nice and, for reasons I can't explain, seemed more durable than when I cut it with paint thinner. Larry
the definition of a wet coat.... I am assuming the same paint /thinner ratio... same air pressure...only more paint applied per square inch..in other words, closer or more passes or slower travel speed or all of the above?
This will work for you - www.amazon.com/Valspar-4625-Enamel-Hardener-oz/dp/B000LNY1MY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 - It will make the paint dry much faster w/ better shine, and durability. Good luck w/ the van and let me know how it goes - Jerry
yes if you want paint to dry fast n not be sticky if you have a Tractor Supply Company where you live they carry Majic catalyst hardener $16.99 1 8oz can is enough for 1gal paint.
Your question is the answer to why this is not an inexpensive job, might as well buy 2k paint. This enamel stuff hasn't worked for me in the reliability department. It's good for fence providing you don't lean anything on it...

@@Rusiputki you’re a clueless fool who doesn’t know how to use it either. We paint everything that leave the fab shop with this shit and it hardened like steel and lasts ages! Hard to chip also! Paint my Honda with it two years ago and it looks the same as it did the day I painted it.
Majic enamel hardener my help with that project. I think if you do a few test panels - like paint a few old coffee cans first, it may help you decide what setting, mix ratios, hardeners work best for you and the outside temperature you're working with :)
Rustoleum is an alkyd enamel and it’ll act like any other enamel when thinned, and if you add an enamel hardener it will catalyze like any other 2k paint. Just thinning it will make it dry faster but it won’t last and it will come off with chemicals like acetone.
Thank you for making simple easy to understand videos! Can you give the approximate time between coats? I tried using Rust oleum before and it took hours to tack up. Does the acetone make it quicker between coats? Thanks again!
Acetone does help but Rustoleum likes warm temps - over 70 is best. That being said - wait till the last coat is dry or tacky. It could take 1/2 hour to hour sometimes. Use a hardener by MAJIC of similar - it will really make a difference for you.
Thanks, very good information. My temps were in the 50-60 range so probably where my issue of drying was. Your videos are the best on TH-cam. Too bad I didn't see them before I made all the mistakes. I also very much appreciate that you don't have all the loud obnoxious irritating music in yours. Thanks again.
Awesome and very informative video! I'm in the process of prepping my civic for paint -- going from factory green to white! Hopefully it turns out as nice as yours! Any way to avoid the orange peel effect? sanding and buffing?
@@mmandros51 they recommend with acetone best..I did it with acetone and then wetsand and polish and came out great!! 1 to 1 with thinner worked as well for you?
Absolutely. The use of a hardener will make the paint dry faster and more durable too. www.amazon.com/Valspar-4625-Enamel-Hardener-oz/dp/B000LNY1MY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
I'm usually at around 25 psi on every type of paint. For rustoleum you have to wait a good 1/2 hour or more. When it gets tacky dry, you're ready for another coat. Rustoleum runs pretty easy on vertical panels so go lightly at first.
So after you applied the number of coats desired and allowed to fully dry...what did you use to then sand it to which you finished that up by polishing the rustoleum?? What compound did you go with in respect to polishing end product???
@@vprince9907 when removing the orange peel effect in the paint wet sand with a fine grit sandpaper. Anywhere from 1500-2000+. Once you achieve a dull uniform finish use a two step paint compound and polish application. I have used meguiars m105 and m205 with an polisher and the results have been excellent. I hope this helps
Old school oil base auto paint. I'm going to use some tractor paint I got on clearance at cal ranch to paint my 73 Jeep, pretty similar. Question, how long do you give this stuff between coats? I know it dries pretty slow.
Hot days about 1/2 hour. Cooler days, you're going to have to check it and see if it is tacky dry or dry. Basic rule with any paint is once the last coat is dry or tacky, you are ready for another. 😊
@@austinbradley3411 1/4" for the fittings and 3/8 good quality rubber hose - you don't want the hose flopping around, acting unpredictable when your painting a car - hope that answers your ? - Jerry
Thank you for demonstrating quick, easy and cheap painting. If it's not too late, I'd love to know the approximate time between coats? Does it dry completely, or is there a trick to know when you can give another layer?
Generally with any paint auto or home, you would wait till the last coat is tacky dry or dry to the touch. Rustoleum drys slow and depends on warm temps to dry faster. Usually 1/2 hour to hour with Rustoleum and 10 minutes with regular auto paint :)
@@LakesideAutobody Awesome. I really appreciate your taking time to answer my question. I'm off to paint my truck, cheap fast and easy like you taught. Cheers!
Rustoleum takes some time to dry so on warm days 70+ 1/2 hour between coats - when cold much longer. If the last coat is dry or at least tacky, you're ready for another :)
Orange peel was also from the mix ratio. It still looked a bit too thick. And the spray pattern was too tight. Need to open up that fan more, and yes, slow down the gun speed!
Yes - you can alter it too if you like it thicker or thinner. You can use paint thinner (not lacquer thinner), mineral spirits or acetone with oil based paints like rustoleum, majic, and farm/implement paint. Majic enamel hardener can make the paint more durable and more like auto paint :)
Ive done 4 complete rustoleum paint jobs on cars using only rustoleum and acetone. no wet sanding. Heres my take on it. Pros- super cost effective, fairly easy to spray and youre probably going to be doing this to a beater of some sort so it will look wayy better than before. Cons- tendency to orange peel, long drying time, not as hard as real auto paint and you can expect it to lose some of its gloss within a year. Also I wouldnt do this to a car that you may want to repaint with actual automotive paint in the future.
I have a 84 K10 that needs paint and what you were able to achieve is plenty good for my purpose. I've got two questions; what is the timing between the coats, and would this work with flat finish paint? Thank you!
Yes it would work fine with the satin or flat rustoleum - here's a video on that - th-cam.com/video/TO39VTcbNMo/w-d-xo.html Time between coats depends on the temperature you are painting in. Hot weather 70+ about 1/2 between coats. Colder temps and you'll need and hour - rustoleum dries pretty slow. Basically when any spray paint is dry or tacky dry you're ready for another coat. You just don't want to throw another coat over wet paint as it will likely run.
4 parts paint and 3 parts acetone, does that mean for example 4 Oz. Paint and 3 Oz. acetone? Thank you for the video I'm going to have a lot of painting to do this will help me drastically.
Question for ya...I pulled my Monte's engine...now I am grinding and sanding and everything else to my engine compartment. Can I use my regular primer, a few coats, then regular base and clear? Gloss black is the result I'm looking for. Appreciate ya man.
It may work well but I stick to the hardeners that say "For Oil Based Enamels" because Rustoleum is an oil based enamel. All hardeners may work though if they are for enamel so... if you try it and it works well let me know :)
Question? I have some old cars that are sitting up. I want to cheaply paint them to keep the city and neighbors happy. If I decide to go your method,do I have to sand the restoleum off when I decide to use more expensive paint later on.
If it's in good shape and sands well i.e. doesn't clog the paper, you could leave it on. To avoid the issue completely you might want to try paintforcars.com acrylic enamel paint kits might work out to be the same cost as Rustoleum. Lastly you can use an enamel hardener like Majic to make the paint act more like an automotive paint - it will be harder, more durable and probable be better to paint over in the future :)
Good question. It was hot that day - like 90 - so 5-10 minutes. Usually it's 10 minutes between coats of base then wait 1/2 hour to an hour to clear it :)
When I had an appliance business, I would use Naptha to thin an enamel paint, and I used a viscosity cup to determine the mix. I forget what the time was for the cup, but it gave great results.
I've heard of the viscosity cup and really need to get one. Sometimes paint is way to thick the way they say to mix it i.e. paintforcars.com acrylic enamel single stage, rustoleum, etc.
@@LakesideAutobody I'll try the website, and yes, the instructions can make it way too thick. I often see instructions say not to thin more than 10%. It would still be thick as syrup. Too thick for even brushing it on some iron railing.
When the last coat is dry to the touch or tacky, you are ready for another coat. In the summer you probably will wait 1/2 hour. In the colder temps much longer as oil based paints dry slow. If you use Majic Enamel hardener it will dry faster and be more durable like auto paint :)
So many comments so don’t know if mine will get picked up. Would a good Direct to metal paint be comparable to rustoleom? In my neck of the woods I cant get rustoleom tinted but can get dtm tinted and in a satin finish.
Yes. Rustoleum is oil based enamel. There are a few farm and implement paint cos out there like Magic, Krylon, etc that make basically the same paint. Tractor Supply up here in MIchigan is a good place to look - maybe online :)
Hi from Michigan :) Hardener like this will work fine - it's mixed 4:1 like you said.

Yes - rustoleum isn't that durable. If you want it to behave more like auto paint add the enamel hardener by Majic - www.amazon.com/Majic-30679-Accelerator-Hardener-Clear/dp/B000Z51ID8/ref=asc_df_B000Z51ID8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=343230797474&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=
I don't but I've hear of guys using urethane clear. If I did though I think I'd wait quite a while then wet sand with 1500 - then clear. Just my opinion though :)
Rustoleum dries slow so 1/2 hour on warm days and 1 hour on colder days. Basically if the last coat is dry to the touch or at least tacky, you are ready for another coat :)
Did a lot of panels on my cars like this and years later they’re still holding up strong. I’m in the middle of painting my old neon grey right now like this
With Rustoleum it depends on the temp of the shop. 1/2 hour if warm hours if cold. Basically wait till the last coat is dry or at least tacky dry. It was about 70 degrees, pressure ~ 25psi, gun has a 1.7mm tip (campbell hausfeld - binks model 7 copy)
Yo so I’m painting my 85 c10 I used this process but I only painted around the front windshield will I be able to sand down with 1500 and re paint all the cab?
I'm adding a hardener, super wet, can I do 4 paint, 3 acetone, 1 hardener? Also, painting in my backyard, no shade, getting over 90° now. Will light coat make Tiger stripes? Rust-Oleum gloss white, over sanded original white paint. Plan on doing in stages, took off bumper covers, all trim, wish me luck!
Thanks for the video. It helped me some machinery I have been working on Do you notice if the acetone dulls the finish? I notice when thinning with mineral spirits the paint is dull after it dries. Any tips?
Try some enamel hardener for a durable shine and quicker dry times. www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/majic-catalyst-hardener-clear-half-1-2-pint-1177127?store=646&cid=Shopping-Google-Organic_Feed-Product-1177127&cid=Shopping-Google-LOB- Maybe try acetone but thin it a bit less - that may help too :)
@@LakesideAutobody Thanks! Do you think I would be asking for trouble to use hardener mixed with the paint over the uncatalyzed paint? It has been about a week since I sprayed it. The TDS cure time says two weeks.
@@LakesideAutobody I just realized that I didn't mention that the paint I am using is BM Super Spec HP P22 urethane alkyd enamel. I should have led with that. They don't show a hardener in the TDS, do you think I could still use hardener? My apologies...
@@quadcam100 I'm not familiar with that paint but I did read some info on it and it says you can clean up with mineral spirits so I suppose you could thin it with that if needed. It also says to me it may be an oil based enamel which would allow you to use the oil based enamel hardener. I'm just guessing on that though so try it on a metal coffee can or something first and see how it looks/works.
You can wipe it down w/ wax and grease remover or your choice of pre-clean and use a tack cloth on it prior to painting for sure. I probably didn't on this one because it was just a demo on spraying Rustoleum :)
@@ronnieyoung7510 It depends on your gun and thickness of paint. Start right around 25 and if there's just too much overspray flying around and it just seems like too much pressure back off a bit. If there's not enough paint being sprayed or laid down the turn it up. It's sort of a "feel" thing. Keep me posted :)
Using acetone as a thinner will take days to dry. Med dry reducer will give it a higher gloss finish. Keep your spray gun 6 inches from whatever your painting is the key.
1/2 hour between coats or until tacky - it depend on the temperature too. The next day it was dry but still had to be careful - with hardener dry times and re coat times are shorter and the durability of the paint is increased. www.amazon.com/Valspar-4625-Enamel-Hardener-oz/dp/B000LNY1MY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Could this be used with a gun where hopper is top? I've always wanted a way to spray that black rust paint but under my truck's as a under coating instead of buy tons of spray cans of under coating they never seem to stick that good anyway Thanks love ur vids
If you mean a gravity fed spray gun - sure - no problem. If you're spraying the underside of your truck you could mix it a little thicker like 4:1 or 4:2. Glad you like the vids - happy holidays

How well does this type of paint hold up? say 2 years later?
If you use hardener in the paint, I think it would hold up quite well. Rustoleum holds up pretty well if you buff it every once in a while like lacquer but not as well as more expensive automotive paints.

What was your air PSI set at?
Right around 20-25 psi. I keep it a bit low eliminate excessive fumes and over spray. It really doesn't matter as long as the paint is wet. Like a spray bomb can - real low pressure but you can still get great results.

Rustoleum cut with Xylene was my go-to paint. Looked nice and, for reasons I can't explain, seemed more durable than when I cut it with paint thinner. Larry
Rustoleum is actually pretty good paint for rust protection as it is very durable for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Every video I've watch has shown acetone for thinning... but I've always used xylene.
the definition of a wet coat....
I am assuming the same paint /thinner ratio... same air pressure...only more paint applied per square inch..in other words, closer or more passes or slower travel speed or all of the above?
Yes - wet to the point of running but.... don't run it :)
@@LakesideAutobodynow your talking real experience!
Great video !! thats the way to do it. You can also add some medium hardener (0.8 part) Will be easier to cut n buff
I agree. Works nice with the hardener. You can mix it a little thicker I think too - it does run easy.
Which hardner can I use? Clear coat activator would work?
@@rigoslittleshop9430 usually using universal acrylic eurethane hardener. Medium speed for clearcoats
I will paint my core support and inner fenders with this .They offer a catalyst for hardener that I use too . Thanks for the. Always a big help.
Glad to hear it - it is great paint once it dries - pretty durable.
Nice video dude 👍 ! I was wondering how many time u wait between each coat ?
With Rustoleum I'd wait 1/2 hour or so. Sort of depends on the temp. If it's somewhat tacky go ahead and give it another coat.
@@LakesideAutobody thx ! 👍
Would I need a hardener for this? I wanna paint my chevy shorty van and some videos say to use a hardener
This will work for you - www.amazon.com/Valspar-4625-Enamel-Hardener-oz/dp/B000LNY1MY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 - It will make the paint dry much faster w/ better shine, and durability. Good luck w/ the van and let me know how it goes - Jerry
yes if you want paint to dry fast n not be sticky if you have a Tractor Supply Company where you live they carry Majic catalyst hardener $16.99 1 8oz can is enough for 1gal paint.
Your question is the answer to why this is not an inexpensive job, might as well buy 2k paint. This enamel stuff hasn't worked for me in the reliability department. It's good for fence providing you don't lean anything on it...
@@Rusiputki you’re a clueless fool who doesn’t know how to use it either. We paint everything that leave the fab shop with this shit and it hardened like steel and lasts ages! Hard to chip also! Paint my Honda with it two years ago and it looks the same as it did the day I painted it.
Great job l like the way it looks
This is the best channel to have ever come across!
Thanks Topcat - I appreciate your kind words :)
If u let it cure for 2 to 3 days you can wet sand and spray auto clear over the top
Thank you for the tip!
I wonder how it would hold up?
I’m planning to repaint my ‘29 model A with a Rust oleum paint. I like your technique.
Majic enamel hardener my help with that project. I think if you do a few test panels - like paint a few old coffee cans first, it may help you decide what setting, mix ratios, hardeners work best for you and the outside temperature you're working with :)
Rustoleum is an alkyd enamel and it’ll act like any other enamel when thinned, and if you add an enamel hardener it will catalyze like any other 2k paint. Just thinning it will make it dry faster but it won’t last and it will come off with chemicals like acetone.
spray a 2k gloss clear over it
You can get a decent gloss just by adding hardener.
Thank you for making simple easy to understand videos! Can you give the approximate time between coats? I tried using Rust oleum before and it took hours to tack up. Does the acetone make it quicker between coats? Thanks again!
Acetone does help but Rustoleum likes warm temps - over 70 is best. That being said - wait till the last coat is dry or tacky. It could take 1/2 hour to hour sometimes. Use a hardener by MAJIC of similar - it will really make a difference for you.
Thanks, very good information. My temps were in the 50-60 range so probably where my issue of drying was. Your videos are the best on TH-cam. Too bad I didn't see them before I made all the mistakes. I also very much appreciate that you don't have all the loud obnoxious irritating music in yours. Thanks again.
Awesome and very informative video! I'm in the process of prepping my civic for paint -- going from factory green to white! Hopefully it turns out as nice as yours! Any way to avoid the orange peel effect? sanding and buffing?
If you get orange peel you can wet sand with 1000-1500 grit and wheel it. Jerry
Mix that shit 1 to 1 with laquer thinner and it’ll lay like glass
@@mmandros51 they recommend with acetone best..I did it with acetone and then wetsand and polish and came out great!! 1 to 1 with thinner worked as well for you?
@@rigoslittleshop9430 I’ve used both thinner and acetone and both worked well. Dries faster with acetone.
@@mmandros51 and even then acetone took me about a whole day and half. In a week later I could still scratch the paint easy with my nail lol
I have an old vintage Mac Tool chest that I've been restoring, and this would be an excellent paint choice!
Absolutely. The use of a hardener will make the paint dry faster and more durable too. www.amazon.com/Valspar-4625-Enamel-Hardener-oz/dp/B000LNY1MY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Great job! You make it look so easy!
Howdy thanks for the video. Just wondering air psi and time between coats.
I'm usually at around 25 psi on every type of paint. For rustoleum you have to wait a good 1/2 hour or more. When it gets tacky dry, you're ready for another coat. Rustoleum runs pretty easy on vertical panels so go lightly at first.
I plan on painting my truck soon, and was wondering what a good mix would be for rust oleum. Thanks for sharing this video
You're welcome. I've heard of a mix ratio of 5 parts paint to 2 parts acetone too if you want to spray it a little thicker.
To paint a fence do i have to use that mich thiner i have never done anything like this but i want to try it thx
For painting a fence try 4 parts paint to 1 part thinner at first - if it doesn't spray out add more. Let me know if you have more ?s - Jerry
@@LakesideAutobody thank you
I used rustolium paint on a 2g dsm. Turned out nice after sanding and polishing.
So after you applied the number of coats desired and allowed to fully dry...what did you use to then sand it to which you finished that up by polishing the rustoleum?? What compound did you go with in respect to polishing end product???
@@vprince9907 when removing the orange peel effect in the paint wet sand with a fine grit sandpaper. Anywhere from 1500-2000+. Once you achieve a dull uniform finish use a two step paint compound and polish application. I have used meguiars m105 and m205 with an polisher and the results have been excellent. I hope this helps
Old school oil base auto paint. I'm going to use some tractor paint I got on clearance at cal ranch to paint my 73 Jeep, pretty similar. Question, how long do you give this stuff between coats? I know it dries pretty slow.
Hot days about 1/2 hour. Cooler days, you're going to have to check it and see if it is tacky dry or dry. Basic rule with any paint is once the last coat is dry or tacky, you are ready for another. 😊
@@LakesideAutobody I took auto body in high school but that was more than a few weeks ago. 😁 Thank you!
How long did you wait between each coat?
Christiancowboy wait 30 to 45 minutes
Excellent video again, thanks from London England 👍😎🏴
You're welcome A BC. How's living in London England?
Using a HVLP spray gun. What psi does your Siphon gun need?
I usually set it so that I get maximum fluid with the least amount of over spray. Probably around 30 psi at the gun but 90 psi out of the compressor.
What size is the hose/connector ya using?
@@austinbradley3411 1/4" for the fittings and 3/8 good quality rubber hose - you don't want the hose flopping around, acting unpredictable when your painting a car - hope that answers your ? - Jerry
Thank you for demonstrating quick, easy and cheap painting. If it's not too late, I'd love to know the approximate time between coats? Does it dry completely, or is there a trick to know when you can give another layer?
Generally with any paint auto or home, you would wait till the last coat is tacky dry or dry to the touch. Rustoleum drys slow and depends on warm temps to dry faster. Usually 1/2 hour to hour with Rustoleum and 10 minutes with regular auto paint :)
@@LakesideAutobody Awesome. I really appreciate your taking time to answer my question. I'm off to paint my truck, cheap fast and easy like you taught. Cheers!
@@joeycmore Let me know how it goes and don't get discouraged if something goes wrong - there's usually something you can learn from it :)
Thank you Jerry, I am planning on doing this on two old trucks this summer! Not show trucks, LOL!
I'm sure it will look just fine. Jerry
Claybird how did the two old trucks turn out?
Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video. Drying time in between coats?
Rustoleum takes some time to dry so on warm days 70+ 1/2 hour between coats - when cold much longer. If the last coat is dry or at least tacky, you're ready for another :)
@@LakesideAutobody thank you for the quick response
nice job but a little to fast on the gun, slow down a little it will lay down smoother less orange peel
Orange peel was also from the mix ratio. It still looked a bit too thick.
And the spray pattern was too tight. Need to open up that fan more, and yes, slow down the gun speed!
Would this ratio work with mineral spirits as well. The rusty metal primer can states thin with mineral spirits. Thanks.
Yes - you can alter it too if you like it thicker or thinner. You can use paint thinner (not lacquer thinner), mineral spirits or acetone with oil based paints like rustoleum, majic, and farm/implement paint. Majic enamel hardener can make the paint more durable and more like auto paint :)
Ive done 4 complete rustoleum paint jobs on cars using only rustoleum and acetone. no wet sanding. Heres my take on it.
Pros-
super cost effective, fairly easy to spray and youre probably going to be doing this to a beater of some sort so it will look wayy better than before.
Cons-
tendency to orange peel, long drying time, not as hard as real auto paint and you can expect it to lose some of its gloss within a year. Also I wouldnt do this to a car that you may want to repaint with actual automotive paint in the future.
Great advice - thanks
Great video! How long between coats?
Wait till the last coat is dry or tacky/dry. Usually 1/2 hour or more for RUSTOLEUM - it dries sort of slow :)
@@LakesideAutobody thank you
Good stuff ! Also Check out James D Guy . Mooremotorsports. This guys does a lot with rusto
I will - thanks for watching - Jerry
Great just the video I’m looking for because I got off track and was overdoing it. This will get me back in the ballpark.
Thank OS - glad you liked it :)
I have a 84 K10 that needs paint and what you were able to achieve is plenty good for my purpose. I've got two questions; what is the timing between the coats, and would this work with flat finish paint? Thank you!
Yes it would work fine with the satin or flat rustoleum - here's a video on that - th-cam.com/video/TO39VTcbNMo/w-d-xo.html Time between coats depends on the temperature you are painting in. Hot weather 70+ about 1/2 between coats. Colder temps and you'll need and hour - rustoleum dries pretty slow. Basically when any spray paint is dry or tacky dry you're ready for another coat. You just don't want to throw another coat over wet paint as it will likely run.
4 parts paint and 3 parts acetone, does that mean for example 4 Oz. Paint and 3 Oz. acetone? Thank you for the video I'm going to have a lot of painting to do this will help me drastically.
Yes. Use less Acetone if it's too thin for you're liking. Glad it helped :)
What size tip did you use in your spray gun appreciate if you could answer me thank you
That tip is 1.7mm. 1.4 through 1.8 will work fine with this mix of paint.
@@LakesideAutobody thank you I just bought a brand new gun just got out 1.4 tip in it thank you for answering me appreciate it
@@ronnieyoung7510 You're welcome - you'll be just fine with the 1.4 :)
It also helps to use a hardener and Japan Drier.
Thank you for making this video, could you please tell me how long you waited between each coat?
About 1/2 hour @ around 70 degrees F. A good rule of thumb with any paint is when it gets sticky or tacky dry you can go ahead with the next coat. :)
@@LakesideAutobody Many thanks ☺
@@JohnSmith-ki2eq You're welcome :)
Question for ya...I pulled my Monte's engine...now I am grinding and sanding and everything else to my engine compartment. Can I use my regular primer, a few coats, then regular base and clear? Gloss black is the result I'm looking for. Appreciate ya man.
Absolutely. What year Monte?
What about using a hardener like super wet look? Or Japan drier? I've been using vm&p naphtha as my reducer
It may work well but I stick to the hardeners that say "For Oil Based Enamels" because Rustoleum is an oil based enamel. All hardeners may work though if they are for enamel so... if you try it and it works well let me know :)
Question? I have some old cars that are sitting up. I want to cheaply paint them to keep the city and neighbors happy. If I decide to go your method,do I have to sand the restoleum off when I decide to use more expensive paint later on.
If it's in good shape and sands well i.e. doesn't clog the paper, you could leave it on. To avoid the issue completely you might want to try paintforcars.com acrylic enamel paint kits might work out to be the same cost as Rustoleum. Lastly you can use an enamel hardener like Majic to make the paint act more like an automotive paint - it will be harder, more durable and probable be better to paint over in the future :)
@@LakesideAutobody appreciate it👍
Nice job! How many times between coats? Thanks for the help
Good question. It was hot that day - like 90 - so 5-10 minutes. Usually it's 10 minutes between coats of base then wait 1/2 hour to an hour to clear it :)
@@LakesideAutobody great thank you :-)
When I had an appliance business, I would use Naptha to thin an enamel paint, and I used a viscosity cup to determine the mix. I forget what the time was for the cup, but it gave great results.
I've heard of the viscosity cup and really need to get one. Sometimes paint is way to thick the way they say to mix it i.e. paintforcars.com acrylic enamel single stage, rustoleum, etc.
@@LakesideAutobody I'll try the website, and yes, the instructions can make it way too thick. I often see instructions say not to thin more than 10%. It would still be thick as syrup. Too thick for even brushing it on some iron railing.
@@LakesideAutobody By the way, are you in Lakeside California?
acetone evaporates faster then naptha :quick dry between coats
So mixing it with acetone thins it out - long term does it get a dusty look to it?
It won't hold up as well as real auto paint but it's much cheaper. Check out TCP Global or paintforcars.com for cheap but long lasting auto paint :)
How often do you put coats down every hours or how often
When the last coat is dry to the touch or tacky, you are ready for another coat. In the summer you probably will wait 1/2 hour. In the colder temps much longer as oil based paints dry slow. If you use Majic Enamel hardener it will dry faster and be more durable like auto paint :)
So many comments so don’t know if mine will get picked up. Would a good Direct to metal paint be comparable to rustoleom? In my neck of the woods I cant get rustoleom tinted but can get dtm tinted and in a satin finish.
Yes. Rustoleum is oil based enamel. There are a few farm and implement paint cos out there like Magic, Krylon, etc that make basically the same paint. Tractor Supply up here in MIchigan is a good place to look - maybe online :)
Would 1 part hardener give it a harder more durable finish? Looking to use this to paint a Harbor Freight tire changer mode I made. Thanks and aloha!
Hi from Michigan :) Hardener like this will work fine - it's mixed 4:1 like you said. Yes it will shine and dry really nice - www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/majic-catalyst-hardener-clear-half-1-2-pint-1177127?store=646&cid=Shopping-Google-Organic_Feed-Product-1177127&cid=Shopping-Google-LOB-Local_Feed&Google&Shopping&LOB&Local_Feed&gclid=CjwKCAjwjZmTBhB4EiwAynRmD4i_E1ACUeSi1hgYBrKqwJ7EgRFpcR4ix1P78f-eNMGsqsLO39USFBoC0JgQAvD_BwE

What kind of top coat did you use. Wont that scratch really easy with no clear?
Yes - rustoleum isn't that durable. If you want it to behave more like auto paint add the enamel hardener by Majic - www.amazon.com/Majic-30679-Accelerator-Hardener-Clear/dp/B000Z51ID8/ref=asc_df_B000Z51ID8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=343230797474&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=
@@LakesideAutobody awesome. Thank you 👍
Could you substitute acetone with paint thinner ?
Yes - paint thinner will work - not lacquer thinner though 👍😊
@ thank you. Just getting into this. Got my paint, thinner and gun. This week I’m pulling the trigger 😃
do you clear coat after please answer question thank you .
I don't but I've hear of guys using urethane clear. If I did though I think I'd wait quite a while then wet sand with 1500 - then clear. Just my opinion though :)
What are the times between coats with and without hardner?
Rustoleum dries slow so 1/2 hour on warm days and 1 hour on colder days. Basically if the last coat is dry to the touch or at least tacky, you are ready for another coat :)
Can you roll it on I don't have a sprayer and the room to spray if I did have a sprayer
Yes, just make sure it's dust free before rolling. You don't have to thin it when rolling it on - maybe just a little to get it to flow nicely :)
Did a lot of panels on my cars like this and years later they’re still holding up strong. I’m in the middle of painting my old neon grey right now like this
Thanks for your input RJ :)
Thanks for Answering just trying to figure out the paint and body work just for myself thanks again.
You're welcome - any time :)
How long did you wait between coats? What temperature is your shop? What pressure were you spraying with that old siphon feed gun?
With Rustoleum it depends on the temp of the shop. 1/2 hour if warm hours if cold. Basically wait till the last coat is dry or at least tacky dry. It was about 70 degrees, pressure ~ 25psi, gun has a 1.7mm tip (campbell hausfeld - binks model 7 copy)
Would you still put on a clear coat? Thank You!
You can - I 've seen some videos on it but I think a light scuffing or sanding after it cured would help the clear to stick :)
Yo so I’m painting my 85 c10 I used this process but I only painted around the front windshield will I be able to sand down with 1500 and re paint all the cab?
Sure. With solid colors you can do one panel at a time if you want. Really easy with rustoleum black or white - even the colors.
I'm adding a hardener, super wet, can I do 4 paint, 3 acetone, 1 hardener? Also, painting in my backyard, no shade, getting over 90° now. Will light coat make Tiger stripes? Rust-Oleum gloss white, over sanded original white paint. Plan on doing in stages, took off bumper covers, all trim, wish me luck!
howd it go
Good luck - You can't get tiger stripes with solid color paints - only metallic paint. Have fun - Jerry
What air pressure setting would you use for a gun like that?
about 25-30 psi
Can clear coat be apply after that to make it look more shiny?
I've heard of it being done by other youtubers - have not done it myself but I'll look into a clear that'll work well with it :)
Thanks for the video. It helped me some machinery I have been working on
Do you notice if the acetone dulls the finish? I notice when thinning with mineral spirits the paint is dull after it dries. Any tips?
Try some enamel hardener for a durable shine and quicker dry times. www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/majic-catalyst-hardener-clear-half-1-2-pint-1177127?store=646&cid=Shopping-Google-Organic_Feed-Product-1177127&cid=Shopping-Google-LOB- Maybe try acetone but thin it a bit less - that may help too :)
@@LakesideAutobody Thanks! Do you think I would be asking for trouble to use hardener mixed with the paint over the uncatalyzed paint? It has been about a week since I sprayed it. The TDS cure time says two weeks.
@@quadcam100 I think you would be OK.
@@LakesideAutobody I just realized that I didn't mention that the paint I am using is BM Super Spec HP P22 urethane alkyd enamel. I should have led with that. They don't show a hardener in the TDS, do you think I could still use hardener? My apologies...
@@quadcam100 I'm not familiar with that paint but I did read some info on it and it says you can clean up with mineral spirits so I suppose you could thin it with that if needed. It also says to me it may be an oil based enamel which would allow you to use the oil based enamel hardener. I'm just guessing on that though so try it on a metal coffee can or something first and see how it looks/works.
Does rustoleum make a clear you could put over the top of that?
I have not seen or heard of any clear coat from rustoleum but I can't say for sure.
I have only ever sprayed base coat clear coat with a sealer coat first.. my question is can you still sand and buff this ?
Yes, you can sand and buff any paint as long as it has dried well enough and there is enough coats :)
Would you recommend using a hardner?
Hardener like Majic Enamel Hardener works great with these oil based enamel paints
What’s the viscosity Keneth
How much paint did you use for that?
How much would you expect to use for a truck before thinning?
Less than a gallon.
I'm painting a truck with single stage acrylic from TCP Global. Do I have to buy their reducer or can I reduce it with acetone or something else?
You can buy their reducer or use another automotive grade urethane reducer. Make sure it's urethane reducer - mid temp usually works well.
Do you use any pre-clean on a surface and then tack drag it
You can wipe it down w/ wax and grease remover or your choice of pre-clean and use a tack cloth on it prior to painting for sure. I probably didn't on this one because it was just a demo on spraying Rustoleum :)
@@LakesideAutobody how much air pressure should I use I was thinking like 30 lb maybe a little less
@@ronnieyoung7510 It depends on your gun and thickness of paint. Start right around 25 and if there's just too much overspray flying around and it just seems like too much pressure back off a bit. If there's not enough paint being sprayed or laid down the turn it up. It's sort of a "feel" thing. Keep me posted :)
Thanks for answering me with all my questions I'm painting my classic 78 Chevy Malibu I restored it and I'll send you pictures of it when I'm done
@@ronnieyoung7510 I'm looking forward to it my friend - that's a cool looking car when it's set up right:)
Using acetone as a thinner will take days to dry. Med dry reducer will give it a higher gloss finish. Keep your spray gun 6 inches from whatever your painting is the key.
Are you talking about this type of reducer - Majic 8-0750-3 Enamel Reducer or are you saying you are using urethane reducer?
Lovely job, what was the drying time between coats and end drying time?
1/2 hour between coats or until tacky - it depend on the temperature too. The next day it was dry but still had to be careful - with hardener dry times and re coat times are shorter and the durability of the paint is increased. www.amazon.com/Valspar-4625-Enamel-Hardener-oz/dp/B000LNY1MY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Lakeside Autobody thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
@@glynharding8109 You're welcome - have a good weekend :)
