This is the way every UA-cam instructional video should be. Great job. Thanks
No timewasting talking and arm waving😊
I came here to post the same comment 😂
I agree….
Not quite. I mean how long did he wait until removing the rust removal chemicals.
@@YeahNoTellTheTruth Just read the instructions on the products themselves. They can be very different depending on what you are using.
That's a lot of love for an old tampax disposal can !!!
I had to scroll pretty far to find this comment. Used to change a lot of little paper bags while working in a restaurant.
Perfect. Right into the point. Enough talking and very clear. Thank you 🙏🏻
I learned more in these 4 minutes than I have during the last 4 months. Thank you!
Haha love how you sound like you're just having a chat with us. Love it
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial on how to prep and paint metal. I used this video to restore my late father's 1977 metal backyard shed.
1. I used Rustoleum Rust Di-solver on the metal and let it sit for 30 minutes.
2. I used 000 steel wool on the metal.
3. I used my husband's power sander to make light work. I first used 120 grade sandpaper and then finished with 220 grade sandpaper.
4. I treated the metal all over with Klean Strip that I picked up from Home Depot for $17.97 per gallon. I used it full strength on the roof, I dissolved one part Klean Strip to 3 parts water on the rest of the shed. Both were put in spray bottles. I then rinsed off the shed with water.
5. There were some holes in the shed, so I used Flex Seal products (tape, paste and spray) to cover up the holes rust and weather did over the years.
6. I then put on two coats of Kilz 3 primer.
7. Finally, I used Sherwin-Williams Weathershield Satin Tintable Latex Exterior Paint + Primer from Lowes. It was $58 per gallon.
I am so glad I found this video. I am nowhere near a painter and this helped me bring life to an old shed on my mom's property. She is so thankful. Only thing left is to find some screws that are missing, but that is no biggy. Good luck.
Hi Kim - Glad the video helped you keep the old shed. Now it should last longer than if you bought a new one. Sounds like you did a thorough job. Thanks for the feedback. Tom
This was one of the best videos I've seen for rust too. Thank you!
The US Navy likes a Zinc Chromate primer coat and an oil based topcoat. That combo seems to hold off the rust pretty well in a saltwater environment. I personally have had good luck with the Phosphoric Acid primer paints.
you are really a great instructor, clear, concise, details and you show all of the products. The best how to video, thanks
Thank you for the kind feedback Judy. I appreciate that. Tom
I agree clear instructions and straight to the point, I have a bench to restore I am going to use this video 👍
Awesome advice. I learned my mistake with not doing the right prep on my bathroom the walls. Tripled my work but learned from it. Will not make the same mistake restoring the metal medicine cabinet thanks to your sensible tips.
Sanding and rust neutralizer to the rescue! Thank you, friend - I know what to do now!
Good wee Tom with plenty of good advice. Cheers mate.
I just checked a few of your videos and love how they're done! Subscribed. Wanted to paint a 23 year old metal cupboard. I hope this content will help me. Thumbs up. From Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Great tips! Perfect for DIY projects at home.
Thank you for making this wonderfully helpful video!
Thanks for the tip on taking care of the rust
Agreed...well done...succinct. Cheers from British Columbia.
I'm 71 and a widow. I have a butane tank that needs cleaning and painting. I need to remove small areas of rust first. I could pay someone with all the equipment but thought about trying myself. I may have to watch your tutorial a few more times.
Well done! Thanks for putting this together
Love this step by step instructional video. I have an old porch glider that belonged to my grandfather I would like to refinish.
Straight to the point, love it
I'm painting some metal hardware on old table legs, this was very concise and helpful!
If you’re painting something like a wrought iron gate Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint works very well. Just sand off the worst of the rust to get rid of anything loose then paint it on. Lasts for years and very quick.
Full marks . Great concise video . Thanks.
This is right on time! I found a rushed rolling library step stool at an estate store. I'm restoring it myself.👍🏼
Brilliant! Inspired me to tackle my rusted mailbox now
Great video & instructions. Thank you.
A very well done instructional video!
Thank you for the great info!!!
Great tip for a project that im doing right now man, appreciate it!!!! It will help me a lot.
Nicely done. Thanks
I used Lysol rust and lime bathroom bowl cleaner to remove the rust from a metal bathroom cabinet. I love the video.
Ospho and other rust converters (not inhibiter) are fairly expensive. I use it on any metal that has rust, like steel based fencing, etc. I believe the general recommendation is to apply the rust converter for like 24 hours or at least overnight so the chemical can soak in. For this, apply paper towels (or cut strips for small or angular places) soaked with the rust converter.
For de-mineralizing my shower faucet controls, I also use paper towel strips, soaked in vinegar, and wrap them around areas with mineral deposits. Overnight or for a few hours. Or use CLR. The minerals deposit will dissolve.
With metal rust, Ospho will convert the rust to a paintable oxide of some sort.
Thank you for sharing this information, much appreciated
Brilliant tutorial 👍 Thank you.
excellent. if more videos were this concise I would spend more time here!
The step with Ospho is a great tip. Thanks
Appreciate all the information, thank you!
Great instructions! Going to paint my small tool shed . Thanks Paint Teacher 👍
Have fun!
Wow, outstanding, professional video! Loved it:)
Thank you for the feedback, Tom
Love the commentary. very nice voice. Sound friendly and knowledgeable! Also great job!
Thanks for the nice feedback! Tom
Your are correct about the timing for spray paint. Right after “Flashtime” aka once it’s not wet looking is the best time to apply additional coats as it’s sticking to its self in the same form.... then after two hours the bond isn’t very good.... so you gotta wait til it’s fully dry (in essence starting at step one)
Thanks for the advice on rust!
I learned something today.
Thank you. Simple work good info.
Excellent video with tips
Excellent video, thanks. No waffle.
Luv it! Awesome!
Perfect for my heater baseboards in the bathroom. Thanks so much.
Oh man - same! how did it turn out throughout time? 6 months ago did mine, just sanding and using rust oleum, brought rust right back out again - so disappointed! I’m going to try ospo now!
Thank you so much for this!
I also like to clear coat any metal I've spray painted - it makes that paint surface more durable - and cleanable. I've had terrific experience with Rustoleum's 2X (paint and primer) spray paints. And you can easily both paint/prime and clear coat small projects (in warm weather) within an hour. Great video!
Thanks for the tips!
What kind of clear coat did you use ? And I am brush painting because it’s winter 🥶
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 , I use Rustoleum 2X Ultra Cover - either gloss or semi-gloss will work great.
Thank you for sharing the quick tips for removing rust and having a lasting impact.
You are welcome!
Great video. Thank u!
Well done! Thanks
Thank you so much. Now I know what to do with my bedside lamps that started rusting on the base.
Perfect how-to video!
Glad you think so! Thanks.
Six years ago or so I found a paperback copy of "The Secret Teachings" in my local Little Free Library. I was just beginning my esoteric studies in earnest and thought it looked interesting. Recently I was at Taschen in Paris and saw the reissued version with the full color plates. I didn't have the 500 euros for it but now bitterly regret not buying it just for the art work. This lecture was fascinating. Thank you so much. I had no idea either that he was murdered.
Very informative thanks 🙏
Hoping to refurb my metal patio set using these instructions. Thank you!!
Thanks you for the OSPHO tip. Maybe someone mentioned it but, I have had alligatoring if I did sprayed outside of the recoat window stated on Rustoleum. Still held up fine but it puckered right up. Fortunately it was an outdoor sign post and no one gets close enough to see it.
good job i use a air orbital sander which feathers out paint chips .i also use rust converters but I checked out oshpo 605 which im going to give a try.thanks for not wasting our time learning families names and a 5 min flute recital from 1 of your kids. I love doing small jobs around the house and paint the odd car plus vehicle maintenance . always looking for the perfect rust converter and rust protection for vehicle rockers and trouble rust spots on different models.
"flute recital" lol -- Thanks for the laugh :-)
I am going to try this on my metal utility trailer!
Thanks for sharing.
My whole kitchen in my new apartment has rusty metal cabinets so this is very helpful!
Thank you.
Thank you so much. I am so glad I thought to check out a video before tackling my job! Great information!
Glad it was helpful!
@@AlleyPicked my step stool turned out beautiful! You saying the prep makes all the difference really made me work hard on making sure it was prepped correctly. And there was a lot of rust!
@@sallyburkett-caskinette8723 Good to hear. Now it should look good for a long time.
Great job! Thanks for thé clear explanation🤗 for spraying a silver colour on black object would you advise a white primer or else which one please? Thanks a million !
Thanks for the vid. I had not heard of rust neutralizers before. Looked up homemade recipes. White vinegar apparently does the job.
Vinegar does remove rust too. It does use acetic acid while the neutralizers use phosphoric acid. The vinegar can remove rust while the neutralizers change the rust into iron via a chemical reaction. I personally like the neutralizer since I found it for $15 a gallon at home depot. I think it also works faster.
If you have a lot of surface to paint, like a ladder, or metal door, you can use grinder with steel wheel brush, on low speed (needs to have adjustable speed). It strips old paint fast, even multiple layers, putty, concrete, rust and you expose the metal surface again. Also much cheaper than sand paper, as you need lots of paper for large surfaces. Then, if any old paint survived, you can be certain that its stuck very well and you can paint over it with no issue. You need to prime first, though.
With sandpaper, unless you repeat on same place multiple times, there may still be some loose paint that still doesn't fall, but it will if you change direction. So not always very reliable. Paint pieces will come off only if something goes under it, forcing it to lift, which is what the steel wire does.
Great tip! Is there such a thing as a steel wheel brush which would fit on my drill? I don't have a grinder. I'm repainting interior metal handrails. I've used the non toxic paint stripper and a scraper to remove layers of paint, plus a wire brush and very fine steel wool. Even after all that I'm concerned that it's not smooth enough and bumps or scratches will show after it's painted. Haaa....long explanation to ask about drill attachments. What's a good metalic paint product which can be applied with a paint brush?
I would NEVER "fix" the rust on a ladder. Not worth it! If the rust is eating away at it, even if you restore it, the integrity is permanently compromised and will not be up to spec of what it was designed for. Not worth your life if you fall off a good-looking restored yet compromised ladder! Just buy a new ladder. It will cost quite a bit to restore it anyway, and isn't worth the risk.
@@asuwish7640yes they make those sold at harbor freight tools
Good tip 👍
Thanks for the video. It will help me in restoring my metal chest. I have a photo unfortunately I don't know if I can include it
Perfect vid for my home today project..thanks man!
Glad to help. Thanks for the feedback!
@@AlleyPicked Forgot to mentionI, I have also subscribed.
@@adanezi1 😁 Thanks!
Thanks! The bottom of my medicine cabinet is rusting and now I know what I need to do to fix it up!
thank you good job
Kinda looked cool with black rust marks 😄
Nice show
Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I recently used what appears to be that same white Rust-oleum paint and it took several days to dry even though I let it sit in the Summer sun for several hours on the first day. I'm not sure why that was but I painted a few other items over the course of a week with the same results. All items were made of steel.
kool video
wood only requires 220 grit as finest. metal you should go to 600 so you don't have sanding marks showing thru the paint. also you need to sand to smooth where you go from paint to no paint. otherwise the lack of good prep will show in the final results as does here.
My mom has a decorative metal sign that has faded and rusted. I’ve been trying to find out what materials and methods I can use to refresh and paint a new image so that it can endure outdoor sun/showers/snow - at least for a few years. This seems like great info for setting down a great canvas. Would I be able to paint on top of a white coat like this with other art paint (acrylic or oil) and then successfully seal it with a clear coat? Her previous sign had words and flowers, so spray cans won’t work for the design but I don’t know what would be successful 🤷
Ty!!
Hammerite paints on rust. I used it years ago before the price went like Google stock. It's really thick and is primer, undercoat, top coat all in one.
Spot putty also comes in handy to get the smoothest finish...
Asome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
After I use the mineral spirits, it is OK to it? That won’t mess with the primer.
I really appreciate this video, it was so helpful! I know you mentioned waiting until the next day to paint after Ospho, but can the mineral spirits be applied right after the Ospho treatment?
I like to wait for the ospho to take effect. You dont want to dilute it with mineral spirits.
We’ve never used anything like Ospho and the rust came back and bled thru new paint. Give the Ospho time to work. Little patience will PAY OFF in the future. I’m going to give it a try.
Looks good now but what about in a years time?
Ospo 🥰🙌🙌 thank you! Rust oleum sucked!
Rust neutralizer. I tried this rust “inhibitor” primer. I had the metal completely cleaned to shiny bare metal. The rust come through the primer. I’ll try the neutralizer. 👍🏼
inhibitor haha...yea, I don't trust that.
Very helpful! I'm about to have to repaint our bell out in front of our church here and wanted to figure out the best way to make the job last the longest...you nailed it!
Glad to help. Keep the Church looking good 😁
Any advice on what you would use or do differently for re-painting an old stove with minor rust?
Not a lot different. You still need treat the rust by either sanding it off or using a product like I used in the video.
I really loved this video. I have rusty metal cabinets in my kitchen that have not been painted in 40 years. They would not be so rusty if one of my very Alpha male cats, peace be upon him, had not constantly sprayed them. Other videos I saw showed the guy doing the work but did not explain the products used or how he used them, just a lot of high speed movement.
Glad it helped. Thanks for the feedback!
Same! Appreciate this video so much! And kudos to keeping those precious cabinets! I have a 1950s full set!! Beautiful!! A rarity and valued at over 60k for my two full sets! 🤯 so glad no one trashed them. I love them so much. Very unique!
@Your MOVE What condition are they currently in now? Rusty? Clean? Both?
That's interesting. I guess I don't have one specific answer, just some thoughts. If they are shiny and smooth, any paint you use will easily scratch off. You may consider dulling the surface of them using a wire wheel on a drill or grinder before painting them with Rust-oleum which has a rust inhibitor. You might also look into applying some of that Klean Strip metal prep before painting. I have also used a wax to protect metal. I make my own from beeswax and mineral oil. Car waxes also offer some protection. Of course you can't paint on top of any wax product. It will probably end up being some experimentation on your part to find the best solution. Good Luck.
Nice video. Helped a lot! But got a question. I got two pillars outside. Will that prep and paint would work?
What material are the 2 pillars? This will work on any metal.
Thank you very much for the video, very useful. Is the sander a special kind or regular wood sander will work too?
I just have one orbital sander, I use it for wood and metal.
@@AlleyPicked thanks a lot
Good video. I have an old tortilla press. Can this be painted so it can be reused again? It has some rust on it buts not too bad. If it can be repainted, does it affect the reheating or the taste of the tortilla. Thank you.
You wouldn't want to paint anything that touches food. If you are referring to the outside, that is a different story. I would need more information to give you a specific answer.
If it’s cast iron, sand off the rust, brush it with a cooking oil, wipe off the excess, and bake it. There are videos on how to season cast iron, but that’s what you are doing.
That's a lot of components to buy for one small project.
Nice video, thanks. QUESTION - After I did the Ospho (trying to restore a rusty old porch glider), of course there was a very tacky feel to the complete surface. The surface did fade to black (good), I left for a day and then used mineral spirits to clean. HOWEVER, there is still a tacky feel to the surface. Is it ok to move on to the primer, paint phase with this tacky surface, or do I need to do something else?
I'd be a little concerned about painting on a tacky surface. I would try some dish soap and water, rinse and dry immediately. Let the residual water dissipate and then prime/paint.
How would you suggest to paint old kitchen metal cabinet, not with much rust but some chipping.keep in mind it was previously painted probably with lead paint
I would first ask you if the paint on the cabinet is mostly in tact. In other words, if you did paint over the paint, would it look bad? If the paint has lots of chipping, you will probably need to remove the paint using a liquid paint stripper.
I use scratch and brush off the brunt of the rust first and then a apply vinegar or vinegar concentrate (25% acidity) and let it sit to transform the rust. Like with your product it turns the rust into a black sludge, which I wipe off with some paper after an hour or two, and then rinse and dry it. If necessary I repeat. (Is the stuff you use acidic too ?)
I heard that although being effective, iron/steel surfaces treated this way are even more subject to adhering rust again and therefore should receive a well made coating.
Would a clear top coat help for these types of projects?
I suppose so. Most cars use a clear coat. I usually don't use one on smaller projects but if applied correctly, a clear coat seems like it would offer added protection.
The house i just bought has a metal clothesline posts in the backyard. But theyve been out there for decades and really rusted. But id like to keep them. Would this work for it?
I think it will work. The key is to sand as much rust off as possible. Clean it and then treat the rust with Klean Strip metal prep, then paint it with oil based rustoleum paint. Use the brush on paint from a can, it's thicker and will last longer.
