Man looks good, bright.was gonna paint my truck red,kinda glad I went with smoked grey,mine turned out beautiful,o we pulled the doors and did the jams,, that was a pain in the...
Yeah it usually is but well worth it when you tear everything apart and do it that way. This was just a simple Rustoleum paint job to clean up the rust and preserve the truck thanks for watching
Digging the channel my man I like how you show that the average guy can do the same thing in their garage or driveway 🤘would love watching this channel grow. Killer content 🤘
I tend to recommend 70 - 30 starting out so you don't go too thin and run it but you can adjust the consistency to your liking there's people who prefer 50 50 because there used to spraying it thinner so I recommend doing a small test spray out to figure out what you like the best depending on how you spray thanks for watching
How long does this take to dry? Because I used ruustolen paint and it was tacky and very soft. Even months later I don't know if it ever cured because it doesn't have a good quality hardemer in it.
It takes a few weeks to harden up good sometimes what you thin it with also plays a factor in the cure out but adding a enamel catalyst hardener to it such as majic brand from tractor supply will substantially decrease your dry time and make it harden up like single stage automotive paint
I have the same truck but a extended cab, I’m so glad I found this, been very scared of painting my truck with rust oleum, but definitely gonna do it now! Thank you for the vid! Did you use any hardner by chance??
I have a question... if you would have sprayed a base coat of white, then red, do you have to let the white dry before you start spraying the red? If so do I need to sand the white with 1000 grit paper? I am trying to teach myself. Thanks
If you wanted to go that route I would have primed it in white primer rather than paint then did the red paint for easier coverage but you don't want to go higher than 600 before paint because you want the paint to have enough bite to the surface so it holds up long term thanks for watching!
The wait time between coats ?? Do you ever use Japan drier ? If you do add clear coat how long before applying the clear coat ? 60 % & 40 % acetone what numbers would that be on a paint bucket ?
I typically wait 20 to 30 minutes between coats an hour after my last coat before I do clear coat and check and see if it's tacky but not pulling paint off with my finger you can use Japan dryer or a catalyst hardener Japan dryer you add it 10% to the mix and the catalyst hardener is the whole thing to a gallon. As far as 60% paint 40% acetone is pretty much the same as a 3 to 1 mix on your paint cup thanks for watching
Awesome job as always. For a budget rustoleum paint job on an old truck, would it be fine to just sand the existing clear off to make it dull, and hitting it with paint? If so, what grits would you use to prep it for the paint?
Yes as long as the clear is in decent enough shape that's perfectly fine just sand it with 400 or 600 grit wet sand and you will be good to go thanks for watching
Hey man thanks for the vid series, how long did you wait for that rusty primer to dry before working on it? I bought some and was about to spray it for a trailer project but was told it takes forever to dry. Some folks said up to a month?
I gave it a good 24 hours before I actually sand it on it I've heard the same thing about it but I didn't have any issues through the gun I know the spray can version can be a little softer and I gave it a few hours as well I will say there are definitely better primers out there but for purpose of the video I wanted to show people you can do it but you got to give it plenty of time to dry and most people are very impatient I would mostly recommend something cheap automotive wise if you're worried about having issues I'll include a link amzn.to/4cPZiP6
Oh I definitely agree I work full time at an automotive paint store as well so My time is limited as to what I can do but as my channel grows I will do many more paint jobs for everyone so please subscribe if you can regardless thanks for watching
Yeah the good thing about it is you wait a week or two for everything to harden out good and you can go back wet sand it clear coat it two tone it anything you want to so you never know what we might do so stay tuned thanks for watching
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS yes, I would probably give it at least a week as well considering it seems like rustoleum seems to take longer to harden. Although I have never used acetone to mix with it. I’ve always used mineral spirits. It seems like the acetone might allow it to dry quicker.
You can mix it 50/50 if you want I wouldn't go any thinner it's really just down to preference and how your gun sprays but there's no wrong way to do it as long as it's not too thin or too thick thanks for watching
That a perfect color for that truck! I was hoping to see the inner drivers side of the bed just to see where the two fuel filler necks are. Amazing paint results man!
Great stuff. Thanks for taking time to make these informative video. I’m trying to paint my jeep wrangler. And I’m cheap. Lol. But want decent results. I’ll have the knowledge now. Just need some skill
My 1988 F250 I did in black with roller and paintbrush still good shine with a lot of orange peal look though a lot rougher body shape...As old as it is It's dependable and works hard pushing snow for the past 20 years! Good job these trucks are great!
After spot shooting the primer after body work I waited about 3 hours and wet sanded the whole vehicle down then let it sit overnight got up 8:00 in the morning cleaned it really good and started painting
@jeffreyyeater1780 Don't worry man You're not hurting my feelings at all I do automotive paint jobs and I do Rust-Oleum paint jobs I am completely aware of how each last and the pros and cons I appreciate you watching and thanks for the comment 😎👍
If you wanted to clear coat it at the same time you were spraying the paint you would wait 45 minutes to an hour till the paint is tacky but not pulling paint off with your finger and then you would start applying clear coat if not you probably have to wait a week or two for the Rustoleum to completely hardened before you could wet sand it was 600 and then apply clear coat that way either way you can always go back and do it thanks for watching
Thank u for the knowledge..hey i see u haven't did a dark green rustoleum color on ur channel yet ...I would like to see that or a root beer brown pearl
It was a pretty cool color in primer I agree I'm not the biggest on red myself but it kind of fits the truck and it's the factory color thanks for watching
Quick and neat. Rustoleum, doesn't get the respect it deserves. Tough stuff... trouble is, maybe once people find out how well it works the prices are gonna go up. Used to be that a gallon of Rustoleum pro was 30 bucks about 8 years ago. A quart was 8 bucks and change. Double that now. Still a bargain. Lowes seems to have the best prices anymore. Not a plug, just what it is. Me, I'd have cut it 50-50 with acetone, helps keep orange peel down, just need to watch for runs. But that's just me. 😏 Still, great job looks nice. Kudos, bro.
WOW! Fantastic Johnathan. I used a little bit of that hardener in the Rustoleum along with the acetone and it helps a lot but it does add to the cost as you mentioned. Nice Father's Day Gift too. You have a winner with this video.
I just picked up a "truck of many colors" beater project, paint is definitely going to be one of the steps of this project... While red isn't my favorite color on a vehicle, it's definitely visible!
It's an '89 f250 yes the paint holds up and the sun for a few years you can add catalyst hardener to it or you can add 2K urethane clear coat and have the same finish you would with any other automotive paint job thanks for watching
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS thanks nice truck youre saying I can mix 2k clear after its mixed and put that in the rustoleum ? That would almost be like a single stage
@sll-tt6bj I'm saying if you want to you can wait about an hour after spraying your last coat of base Rustoleum and add a 2K urethane clear over top to pretty much make it a base clear paint job same as automotive or you can just add a harder in it and make it the same as single stage automotive if you want to check out some of my other videos where I do it and walk you through it thanks for watching
Dad isn't too flashy on the pearls and flakes he just wanted a good old simple paint job for his work truck but doesn't mean we're finished with it by any means and My next paint job will have pearls and clear and everything else so stay tuned
👀 looks great. That red really pops. I remember the very first truck I sprayed I used the red led primer and that was over 40 years ago. I was wondering, if you could spray clear coat over the primer and what that would look like? I’m tempted to try it. Love your work, you definitely have a good looking Superduty ford.
Yes you can do clear coat over primer honestly it's pretty much the same as shooting it over paint if you use a gloss clear it'll be glossy if you use a satin or matte it'll be satin or matte finished I actually did a video on that one if you want to check it out thanks for watching
Man that is an awesome paint job you did. Red is my favorite color too. I like how you did some of the work in your flip flops 🩴 man. I am a huge huge huge fan of flip flops 🩴. That's all i wear around. I don't own a pair of shoes , socks , or boots because I have big & very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 sz15 6E wide ( which is very very extremely wide feet 🦶 ) with very very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. Flip flops 🩴barely & I mean barely fit on my feet 🦶because my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴 straps. Love how you did the work in flip flops 🩴man. Paint job looks awesome man. Thanks you for sharing this video buddy & have a nice weekend buddy.
Another great vid! I'm working on a 87 4runner and have been leaning on Raptor Lining the truck. Every time I see one of your Rustoleum spray outs it make me want to use Rustoleum instead. Decisions???? Truck came out great! Look forward to the next one...
Thanks for watching yeah it turned out pretty good I was happy and I'm sure he will be too He's seeing it for the first time just like everybody else on video but he will get it back later today lol
I painted several spare fenders I practiced with bondo with small dents and a practice hood I got from LKQ with rustoleum professional saftey red but with rattle cans getting consistently good results I can confirm what was mentioned in the video the paint is very very glossy with no clear coat partially painted a SUV very good results with professional gloss balck. I saw your video on the 08 Civic you painted with rustoleum gloss black that lasted about 5 years in the sun no clear coat and very minimal washing or waxing. I want your opinion do you think the saftey red would last as long as the black paint used to paint the Civic under same conditions outside in the sun all it's life little to no shade? Of Course if I ceramic coat or wax the car often the paint gloss will last longer then doing nothing which I will do I will in the future paint a 99 Civic Coupe that was painted in the past and the shop did not do the best work prep work wise and spraying of the paint so I have some body work I will do and have to correct some things the shop messed up but will definately paint it using saftey red looks good like the Milano red Honda paint.
Yes I agree it looks a lot like Milano red on the em1 Civic si and answer your question about how it will hold up most the time every color other than gloss black for me has stayed glossy for a year or two at least before it starts fading obviously you can always like you said go back and wax it or if you really wanted to get crazy you could sand it back down 600 grit and put a clear coat on it so there's many other options and for the money you can't really beat it thanks for watching
Eventually we're going to be doing more with the bed lining it and everything else just a fun old work truck for him it still needs a lot of work in every area lol thanks for watching 😎👍
@417jackrabbit Yes you can cut and buff it you have to give it a week or two to really harden good but yes depending on what you finish sanding with and how your gun sprays you can get some orange peel like with any paint job but you can always go back and buff it out or if you really want to get crazy with it wet sand it and apply 2K urethane clear coat for an automotive quality finish thanks for watching
I've had it hold up fine for up to 4 to 5 years if you want to check out some of my other videos where I've done reviews on Rustoleum paint jobs after 4 and 5 years so you can see the realistic results long term thanks for watching!
I have a series I've been doing for a while called rustoleum custom mixed where subscribers suggest rustoleum colors with pearl flake combinations and I spray it out on a set of fenders pretty cool if you wanna check out a few episodes thanks for watching
Honestly I'm not quite sure I know acetone really dries out quick and I didn't really go the route of adding any hardener simply because the next two days were almost 100° out so I just let it bake but yeah thinning it with either or works fine from what I've heard I've just always used acetone
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS I’m used to lacquer and acetone definitely makes it dry faster than using slow reducer. I’ve never used medium or fast , so was curious. Thanks

Is either Ferrari red or Lipstick Red,,for this kind of truck Denim Blue or Pewter Gray,,great job Whitley
Digging the channel my man I like how you show that the average guy can do the same thing in their garage or driveway 🤘would love watching this channel grow. Killer content 🤘
Awesome job man This truck is going to be a legend in the Rust-Oleum paint world
I thought in your white car rustoleum video you recommended 70-30 for the paint. Any reason your going with 60-40 now?
I tend to recommend 70 - 30 starting out so you don't go too thin and run it but you can adjust the consistency to your liking there's people who prefer 50 50 because there used to spraying it thinner so I recommend doing a small test spray out to figure out what you like the best depending on how you spray thanks for watching
Looks great. The rust has been stopped and ready for another 30 years of work. 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Checked out a few videos. Dig your hustle, nice job.
Where are you located? I'd definitely pay you to paint my car Bruhh 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🏆🏆
I'm in North Carolina near Raleigh thanks for watching!
Truck looked pretty good in that primer brown.
How long does this take to dry? Because I used ruustolen paint and it was tacky and very soft. Even months later I don't know if it ever cured because it doesn't have a good quality hardemer in it.

Do you have to update color on DMV registration?
Nope it's still red so you should be good to go if you're worried about it thanks for watching
Looks great! When new trucks are $100,000, I think I will just spray my old Ram
@@steveb9525 heck yes. I want to do this to my 2001 excursion

You answered my question
Turned out good. Looks great!
That came out Hot ! Very Very Nice !
Super nice job. I think I would have done some of your speedoclear on it too. Just for the durability and longevity. Definitely a 5 all the way around

That looks great
Hey question heve you ever mixed paint and clear coat 50/50 for the last coat

Yeah the paint dry is pretty quick takes a few hours you can add hardener and other stuff to it to make it dry quicker

I would say get a gallon and a half (6 quarts) to be on the safe side thanks for watching
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS thank you for your time doing this.
Looks awesome! What a difference before and after on the cheap! I’m sure your dad will love it
Looks great but why no clear coat like you mentioned at the end?
We have other plans for it in the near future so stay tuned 😎👍
To use the clear coat do you have to sand it to clearcoat it
Yes you give it a week or two to harden up good wet sand it with 600 and then you can clear coat it do anything you want with it
Looks good
Dont do this , It wont last , just get automotive paint . Its looks good now , but dont waste the labor .
Im NOT putting down your labor or quality . It looks great , 👍

If u was gone clearcoat how long would u have had to wait for the rustoleum to dry

They sell it at any Lowe's or home Depot if you want to check it out thanks for watching
Not gonna last..its going to turn mat pretty fast..already try on a vw rabbit
It's fine we're not completely done with it yet as I said in the video but thanks for watching and your input
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS put a clear on it..its going to.last longer..
That looks awesome. You definitely do a good job with inexpensive materials and tools.
Great job Jonathan! Your Dad will love it I’m sure brother. Keep up the great work
Does it have super duty axles
Yes it does
How'd you mix that 3:1 ?
Yes I say 3 to 1 but pretty much 60% paint 40% acetone anywhere in that given area seems to be the sweet spot thanks for watching
Thought this color was going to be awful, but with the chrome its actually pretty good.
Think i liked the primer better.😏
It was a pretty cool color in primer I agree I'm not the biggest on red myself but it kind of fits the truck and it's the factory color thanks for watching

Great job!!! Did you record your dad's reaction? Would enjoy seeing it. 😊

Looks awesome what yr ford how does the paint hold up in the sun and can you add hardener in it

Whats the item number on the paint? Didnt see it in your list
The safety red you can get in the gallon at any Lowe's or home Depot it's right at $50 as well as any gallon of acetone for $20
can you cut an buff this stuff....does it orange peel?
@417jackrabbit Yes you can cut and buff it you have to give it a week or two to really harden good but yes depending on what you finish sanding with and how your gun sprays you can get some orange peel like with any paint job but you can always go back and buff it out or if you really want to get crazy with it wet sand it and apply 2K urethane clear coat for an automotive quality finish thanks for watching

@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS thanks! I’ll got an old 91 f 150 and you inspired me to paint it!
Awesome.
Bet your dad's proud.
i never even thought about using rustoleum paint....
That pro paint is all use .. it means business
Custom mixed?
I have a series I've been doing for a while called rustoleum custom mixed where subscribers suggest rustoleum colors with pearl flake combinations and I spray it out on a set of fenders pretty cool if you wanna check out a few episodes thanks for watching
Turned out great. I'd ditch those steps but that's me.
This is the third video I watch & they all look great🔥 new subscriber
Thank you very much for subscribing!
you the man my brother looks awsome!!!!! my mentor
Looks great! Thanks for posting your Dad's reaction later in the day. A nice pearl clear coat to darken to a blood red would look good too!
Yeah we can always go back and clear coat it later never know so stay tuned
Been looking forward to this video!! Lets go!!
Looks good, can't beat that price.
Wow that looks really amazing mr whitley
What a great looking truck!
That looks really nice 👍
Great looking budget paint job!
Nice old Brick Nose Ford.
John, does the acetone make it dry quicker since it has a faster evaporation point than naphtha or mineral spirits??
Honestly I'm not quite sure I know acetone really dries out quick and I didn't really go the route of adding any hardener simply because the next two days were almost 100° out so I just let it bake but yeah thinning it with either or works fine from what I've heard I've just always used acetone
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS I’m used to lacquer and acetone definitely makes it dry faster than using slow reducer. I’ve never used medium or fast , so was curious. Thanks
You hit the nail on the head with the last coat
Beautiful paint job
