Hey guys, I want to give a big Thank You to all my viewers, subscribers, and to all who has supported this channel. Thanks to you guys, we just hit the 1000 Subscriber goal! And to show my appreciation, I will be doing a giveaway somewhere within the next few videos, so stay tuned in. ✊😄 🎉
How many gallon is your air compressor?
@@sleeks9939 it's a 21 gal
Good job, watched the video of you cutting and polishing it too, very clean
Great video man? Question what paint gun did you use?
What's the song that is playing while you're painting?
Be sure to show us the wet sand and polish process and the finished job. Thanks for putting out these videos. I've done many paint jobs, never with Rustoleum, but I understand doing things on the cheap! Looking forward to the next video.
The first new vehicle I ever purchased was a 93 Chevy S10 in Dove Grey aka Nardo Grey. Back then it was a very unique and very rare color and got compliments everywhere I went. People couldnt believe it was factory paint, and asked where I got the paintwork done. The Rustoleum smoke grey looks just as good. Thanks for this video, I now plan to paint my 07 Grand Marquis the same way with all of the chrome and trim in gloss black.
Excellent results with rustoleum and a harbor freight gun! Well done. Interested to hear how it ages.
Your videos are great. Keep them coming. You have a great style, camerawork is good, music is good. Easy to watch.
Probably one of the better youtube videos ive seen on how to Rusto spray paint....the car looks Great! I roller brush painted my foxbody in Battleship gray Rustoleum Topside Marine paint mixed 3:1 with Flood brand Penetrol. The paint still shines after sitting on my driveway for 6 months now.
That's wassup! 👌 although it's a cheap paint, I'm expecting it to last a while. I'm still treating it as any other car paint. Buffing and waxing from time to time.
Just found this channel 30 min ago and it’s slept on can’t wait for you to blow up earned a new sub
I just subscribed to your channel ... I just wanna say that you have really given me some good tips on painting I'm getting ready for my first paint job so hopefully with the things you have shared in your videos I'll be able to do a fairly decent job..thanks so much keep up the good work
How has the paint job held up? Does it still good?? Any update on how the paint has held up would be appreciated 😁👍🏻
Great job great paint on a budget keep doing the videos we enjoy watching them
Looks good. I have painted cars with same paint. It's all in prep. I was a professional painter and all the haters are idiots. It's all in prep. And sometimes cheap is all you can afford. Sand and buff that thing and keep it waxed you should be good to go
Thomas Algrim - hey bud, do you know what thinner he used and what the ratio was? Much MUCH appreciated!!!
Any extra advice on doing this? 10-15 minutes between coats? Anything else you could share?
Thanks Thomas!!!
:)
@@jasonenz4238 this is an old reply I know. Majic makes a specific reducer for their alkyd enamel, and a hardener as well. Majic paint itself is inferior to Rustoleum but their reducer/ hardener is compatible with Rustoleum and makes a very good combination
GT's Performance,
You may have already answered, but what was the paint to thinner ratio used this time? It never fails that with each and every Rustoleum video that comes out, there's some dickhead that's got to chime in wanting to tell us what he knows about painting a car. The truth is that we don't care what he knows we want to see you doing a Rustoleum paint job. Thanks for taking the time to produce these vids., I'm enjoying watching.
He's probably using reducer...id say a 4:1 ratio
Whats difference in reducer to thinner
I was waiting to see this rustoleum paint job! 👍
Thanks! This is still a step in the process, but the finished reveal should make it all worthwhile! 👍
GT's Performance look very good!
Looks completely different. Love these budget builds. Great job brother!
Thanks bro! Already picked up some paint for the wheels, its gonna be my first time trying it, but hoping it'll be the dynamic it needs.
@@GTsPerformance I came back to this video as reference to the mix ratio. No new project, videos, everything good? You might drop short, or video. Price went up on more of Autobaun products, bet your to blame for some of that.... Ha ha. Good Advertiser for their products.
Something came up and needed the garage space. I knew it would take a while, but not sure how long, so I built a new garage.. sorta.
New upcoming videos will start here at the GT's Performance version 3.0 😅
I'll make an update pretty soon. I still need a few more things before I can start on another project
Looks great bro. Keep it going dude I enjoy watching your vids
LOL love the Racing chair.. The cars is coming along nice!
What was your paint and thinner ratio would like to know thank u
at 50/50 it is thin, but dries really quick for the next coat. 5 coats (a good thing) later and a beautiful result appears. Don't use a brush, use high density foam rollers, or a sprayer.
That’s the factory look 👌
Great job on the paint, my problem is why go through all the work and paint it without filling the door digs on the passenger side of the car :(
The paint turned out very nice. What is your thinning ratio to paint and at what psi?
Great video...just subscribed
Thanks for the support! 🙏
I’ve been watching your videos for a while , before you started spraying what did you mix your base coat with ? Mineral spirits and what’s paint ration did you go with , thank you !
How long did you wait between spraying coats? The flash time?
@GTsPerformance did you use a hardener? I live in Florida I’ve seen you and a few other people just use acetone, wanted to know how is the drying process as I want to put a clear over y rus o leum when I paint it next month
Love that color !!
Great spray technique! Do you ever use a hardener?
Awesome work! Have you thought of using bullet proof paint POR 15 TopCoat? That would be epic!
I've only primed a 95 Honda accord with six cans but its a lot easier to spray it with a gun as I see. Good stuff keep up them videos bro , I'm learning
Paint cars and do resto jobs and i gotta say good great job all that matters at the end of the day is the finished result and a purple harbor freight gun awsome 👍just subscribed to your channel
Hey what part of Texas do you live in? I’m in Dallas. Would like to see one of these paint jobs in person.
I'm from the RGV
I’m liking the vids bro I subscribed brother ! Look forward to the next vids
Thanks for the support! 🙏
I'll be uploading a in a bit!
Cant seem to find this info anywhere
... How long did you wait to re-coat? I'm gonna use the Majic Catalyst Hardener. This paint says to wait 24 hours to re-coat but, I'm sure that's specifically if you're brushing or rolling it on. Did you just wait for the paint to flash and re-coat?
Rustoleoum paint I good stuff if you do your prep correctly, sanding priming etc and at least 2 coats of paint if you want it to last longer throw a clear coat on it. Good job
what kind of clear coat would you throw over that paint?
@@AdrianGarcia-qj6fp any cheapo one from autozone.
That state of the art racing chair got you a sub.
Damn brother, looks awesome. 😎
Yup! Is aight 😁👍
What that’s freaking bad ass .. want to see more
nice paint job, came out very nice
Great job on that car
Thats a good job man. 👍be awsome once you have cut and polished it.😎
What primer you would use on bright silver metallic I put light gray primer and painted it with the paint code but I should of painted the whole vehicle because where I painted at looks darker than what the factory color looks after I painted it and put clearcoat. I used 2k primer and activator but the activator ran out so I used regular light gray primer over my truck. Maybe I didn't put enough coats of clearcoat on. I didn't paint the top part of my truck. I should of just painted the whole vehicle with the paint so so all the truck looks the same color it would of turned out better. Think am gonna just go and paint the top and other doors on the right side to match up.
I painted my nissan 240sx about 3 months ago exactly how you did and the rustoleum tends to come dull
Try buffing it with compund and polish
Looks good man. What ratios did you mix the paint ?
Is your dog ok?
Hope its ok..... 🤔
😂😂😂😂
Love the color!
That racing seat is littt
So you are using a spray gun to shoot the vehicle, using the rustoleum is a lot less expensive than regular auto paint?
Hey bro between coats how long did you wait to spray again?
Sick dude, came out great!
i have the same car and i really liked the colour im thinking 2 do it
I'm thinking about this sort of paint job for my S10. Is there a reason you don't use hardener? I've noticed the rattle can job on my Suburban has remained soft almost a year later. Others here on UA-cam swear by adding a hardener. I've never had a spray gun, always used spay cans with mixed results.
What ratio on paint cup did you mix the paint looks clean
Cool vid! Rusto i never thought of that. How'd you choose that and did the MR186 mix pretty well with that type is paint?
Nice work! I admire your attention to detail. >Charlie
Awesome job 👍
my ocd cringed when i saw door dings not filled, but that paint lays down really well.
Whats up bro. Car looks great, what grit did you use to sand down the car
Thanks bro, I used 500 grit before spraying the paint.
GT's Performance what type of acetone do you use to mix the paint? Or can I use any acetone
Great job man!
I only have a pancake compressor 6 gallon will it work to paint a 2000 expedition and I enjoy your videos as well
Looks good!! You did a nice job!
what the smallest air compressor i can get away with for diy painting like this? I have a 300zx im fixing and i wont be able to afford a paint job, I wanna do it myself
What ratio did u use to mix the paint?
Ok. Need some advice painting from you guys that have more experience. Im trying to repaint a honda bumper with OEM paint and clear. Can i scuff it and shoot duplicolor paint shop silver over it without a problem or should I prime it first? Can I use the duplicolor paint shop primer or do I need a different primer? Any advice would be appreciated.
Is there a video where he goes through the air compressor and other things he uses to paint the car?
Looks muy bueno! I know it's been a while, but did you just polish or did you clear coat also? I'm looking at doing my Astro van up in the smoke grey, really digging it, especially with a matte clear coat.
Gracias! This was just polished.
I didn't use clearcoat
@@GTsPerformance Been watching a number of your videos, really good stuff. Hey, so what would you suggest to get a flat finish on the smoke grey?
Nice job Brother 👍
Please try out a quart of silicone alkyd when you get the chance. Similar to Rusto, but more durable
Wonder if i could make it some tones darker w black primer under or it would just cover it and not change a thing
I paint a car with the same paint but .. some spots are gloss and other are like satin .. i guess it was a problem with the paint .. (to thick)
But i can paint again without sanding or i have to sand everything again to paint
It looks really good.
You did a great job man how did you mix the paint? I seen the other video of the wet sand and buff my question is do you have to clear it or just buff?
Every cup I mixed was 12oz of paint, plus 6oz of acetone. And, you don't necessarily have to add clear coat. It has a good gloss straight from the can. As long as you take care of it, it'll last years!
If it's not a budget thing and you decide you want to add clear, then sure, your paint will definitely last even longer (as long as you take care of it of course)!
Would this ratio be the same as the rustoleum white primer? I appreciate your time. Preparing a Yukon for paint. It'll be my first time. 🤣
Did you not spray clear? Why not and would I be able to add a 2k clear on top?
Are you gonna clear it ?
Hey bro congrats on your ch!!!! I just subscribed awesome videos and very detailed. I had a question i dont know much about compressors, thinking of buying one to do the Rustoleum paint job what size compressor did you used to spray? 3gl, 6gl, 20gl????
Thanks! And I appreciate the sub 👍 I'm using a 21 gallon air compressor from Harbor freight. I think anything smaller than that you will dry out your air tank before you finish painting a fender
@@GTsPerformance ok thanks!!!
Excellent job!
Awesome video bro! i'm going to paint my Mazda Protege with Sail Blue paint ..what brand reducer or acetone you use and Mixing Ratio?
How do you mix your paint looks great
Did you add clear or is it just that rustoleum?
1 question.. y do u spray in sections.. lol .. or ur just starting to paint.. 8:00 🕗 of video u said u had just sprayed da light housing n 1/4 panel.. it looks nice n wet.. that’s all all da paint job should look.. so don’t spray in sections so u won’t get any dry spots or dry sections..
Actually, if you go from front to back, you miss the detail! You may think you're getting an even coat over everything but you still have to sand and polish Regardless!!
So it doesn't matter how you spray.
You do really nice work. Was that a Harbor Freight gun? I'm in the market for a new compressor. What size and brand were you using? Thanks for taking the time to post.
Thank You! And yes, it was a harbor freight gun. It has a 1.4 spray tip, very good for rustoleum since the paint is thick. And it's very easy to use👌
As for my compressor, I'm using a 21 gal. From harbor freight also. It's been very good to me! I've had it for several years and painted many vehicles and small projects, and it's still going hard. It turns on about 3 or 4 times to do a full pass around an entire car so, I wouldnt use anything under 20 gallons.
@@GTsPerformance Thanks for replying. That makes my choices easier. Keep up the good work.
The results look better. What were ur ratios?
Nice work
The finished product is gonna be sick for sure! Ima need you to paint my cowl hood in the future 😂
Yea bro, we'll do that! I want to try get a better gun. This one cuz it's a budget paintjob ($10 gun and $20 worth of paint), but I really need to invest in a better one.
@@GTsPerformance you know you can get a decent gun for 30-40 dollars. Look into auarita guns. They make copies of the high dollar SATA and devilbiss, iwata guns for cheap. Everything is cnc machined today. A 600 dollar gun has $5 worth of metal just like the cheao guns. There are small differences in them. But all the ones I've used have sprayed identical. To their name brand counterpart. I've even put the clone parts inside the name brand and vice versa. The difference comes in the quality of the stainless and guides. But keep it clean. I've had a couple copies from back in 2009. Sprayed a couple hundred times and still fire. Some people say they don't atomize as well with use. But I haven't noticed it. I've had one gun I had to replace the trigger seal in. But even on my bink gun at work seals need to change. If your on a budget look at auarita, neiko, weta, on eBay look for user pntgreen. He has a couple guns for $20ish that are clones of high dollar guns. Gotta love cnc machining. Big companies need to bring their prices down. I'd rather buy a $20-100 clone and get a rebuild kit or new tip every few hundred sprays. Then pay $500 for what is essential a copy because only the first gun a engineer designed is original. All cnc machined after that. I see a lot of unbranded Chinese guns have the same guides and air horns as these expensive guns. Hell the new SATA 5000 clone is $100-120. I've used that harbor freight cheap gun numerous times. You can do good jobs with them. A good painter can paint with a garden hose you have it or you don't. But what you spend on those guns. You can get a gun or a set that will bring your work to the next level trust me. Even the tcp global set for $60-80 is much better then that gun. The husky from hone Depot has much better atomization then that gun. For the price of 2-4 of those guns you could have a ok set of Chinese guns usually a 1.4 and the 1.0 touch up gun. I did about 30 shoots with thr husky and it still works as the day I took it out the box. I still use it with cheap paint now. It's really is a good budget on par with the good unbranded Chinese guns. I think you'd like the neiko and the 878, and k400s of your really on a super tight budget. The sprayit 352 is $13 shipped. Its based of the itwata a few companies now make it. I guess patenr ran out. Decent gun. And the hopper swivels so you can shoot angles. Make sure you tighten that connection up with a wrench not hand tigjt. $3 more and you'll have a much better gun
Not eBay pntgreen is on Amazon. Good stuff. Pretty much all guns are made in the same couple plants in China. Different companies put their logos on them. Also a siphon fed hvlp isn't bad either. Or conventional as a primer gun but you can get in ant tip size. I had. A 4001 that kicked ass and wasn't expensive.
Very good video. Is it possible to spray a 2K clear over a Rustoleum paint? If so, how long should we wait before shooting the clear?
That cool didn't mean any harm...I recently repainted a bike done in Rust-Oleum and I found out it never really dries and hard to get off made for a lot of work... can't wait to see the lambo
should have used a hardener
Did you do an update on the wet sand and polish? Lookn forward to it.thank.
Yes! Here is the link.
ua-cam.com/video/m9QhvCmSmPs/v-deo.html
Thanks so much for watching
Love the videos man! I subscribed on the first video I saw what do you reduce it too? Also how long do you wait till you sand and buff the paint?? Thanks again man keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support! I used acetone to reduce it. mineral spirit also works or paint reducer for automotive paints..
and 3 days sun bathing should be good, but I like leaving it a week before I wet sand for buff and polish.
-GT 👌
GT's Performance thanks so much man !!!
did you do a 3 to 1 on the mixing?
Thanks again for replying! 🙏🏾
No, I was doing 2:1. I mixed each cup 12 oz.. paint, to 6 oz.. acetone.
GT's Performance thanks again man!!
Seen a lot of people do these on UA-cam notice their limited on colors. I was told you can get ahold of Rust-Oleum and get custom colors made never checked into it though.
Yea, rustoleum paints are already pre-mixed into basic colors, but.. theres also Bar-Ox paint. Which is like rustoleum. It is meant for farm and equipment psint, and you can choose Any color you desire.
I've been thinking about trying it soon.
@@GTsPerformance I've always wanted to try the Rust-Oleum paint job.. seen it done both with roller and spray. Spray seems like the way to go have you tried with the roller.
No, haven't tried the roller. But rustoleum is pretty good paint. Only thing is like you said, colors are limited.
It also comes a bit thick straight from the can so I would recommend thinning it with acetone or mineral spirits.
@@GTsPerformance yes very true thanks for your reply. I painted a lot of scooters and motorcycles frames. Plastics with Rust-Oleum very good paint
No problem bro, and good luck with your project. I'll try making a video experimenting with paints.
Bro I love watching your videos!!! I’m trying to get as good as u Sir.
How long did you wait in between coats
What did you sand the car to before paint?
Just found your channel bro! Amazing stuff!
Thank you! 🙏
I like that color. What was the thinning product and the ratio ?
I use acetone to reduce the paint by half. 2 parts paint, 1 part acetone.
What sand paper do you go down to before spraying?
Great job!!!!! Please post it finished!!!!
No reducer ? Or is acetone the same as reducer ?
what size compressor and what are ratings on it?
Where u buy tape ??? Orange is it good ???
Did u clear over it? Or is that just the base with natural gloss?
No clear, this is just the gloss coming from the paint.
Next time add magic enamel hardner and you will have a harder finish
What did you use to cut your paint with?
Nice looks good bro... show the color sand and ect....
