This is my 1998 Subaru Forester with 208,000 miles. Its a great car (not a show car)but the clear coat had started to peel. Rather than have a "professional" respray my car I decided to tackle it myself. For quick demonstration of the idea I completed the hood of the car in 7 days from start to finish, including letting the paint cure for the last 2 days in the sun.
#Here is what you will need:
1. [High Density foam Rollers](www.homedepot.c...)
2. [Painters Tape](www.homedepot.c...)
3. [Oil Based Paint](www.warrenpipe....)
4. [Low Odor Mineral Spirits]( www.homedepot.c...)
5. 250 Grit Sandpaper Wet or Dry
6. 800 Grit Sandpaper Wet or Dry
7. (Polishing Paste](www.harborfreig...)
8. (Carnauba based Wax](www.harborfreig...)
9. [Polisher](www.harborfreig...)
10. [Cutting compound pad](www.harborfreig...)
11. [Polishing Pad](www.harborfreig...)
#Here is the Process:
1. Wash with soap, to make sure surface is clean
2. Wet Sand with 250 grit to a uniform dullness
3. Wash with soap again to make sure all dust and dirt is off.
4. Tape off areas that do not need paint
5. Mix 1 part Oil based paint with 1 part Low Odor Mineral Spirits
6. Roll on paint slowly, You may have bubbles, this is ok, they will pop eventually. You can run your Foam roller over the area with no pressure (just the weight of the roller) to burst the bubbles.
7. Wait at least 5-8 hours Roll on another coat
8. Repeat this step as many times as you want,(I did this 7 times, you need at minimum 5 coats to get full coverage)
9. Wet sand with 800 grit Sandpaper if texture of paint appears to resemble the [Skin of an Orange.](www.dsmtuners.c...)
10. Wait 2 days for paint to fully cure.
11. Polish with cutting compound
12. Polish with Carnuaba based Wax
13. [Go to the Pub, have a beer, you just painted your car.]( ashevillealetra...)
#[For those who think the paint will deteriorate because of the product I used](www.rickwrench....) , here is Rickwrenche's Corvair after 3 years in the California sun. The reason is that your building up extremely thin coats, which builds a harder shell than just 1 thick coat of non-thinned oil base paint.
To all the haters out there.. Guess what? It's his F- N car! He can do whatever he wants to it!
This is UA-cam and guess what? You'll see comments that are positive and negative.
To the complainers, for the price, this is not a bad paint job. Better than a rusty hood or spending thousands of dollars on it.
Its been 3 years and 6 months since I painted the Forester. My buddy Mike has it and it still looks great. no peeling, or flaking. If I ever get another used car, this will be the method I still choose for painting it.
@@c.spencer2338 what did yoy use to apply the paint?
@@corollagl82 I used a High Density Foam roller. and I thinned out the oil based paint with Low Odor Mineral Spirits.
@@c.spencer2338 Hi Spence, car looks pretty darn great if you ask me! What was the dilution ratio with the paint? Roll and tipping paint is used quite regularly I the marine world and produces mirror finishes as well. Great job!
@ Hey Mita, I use a 3 : 1 Ratio. 3 Parts Oil Based Paint to 1 Part Low Odor Mineral Spirits , I just finished painting my nieces car for the last few weeks, and I have polished out some of the hood work. i.redd.it/du02gpr90o751.jpg I suggest using a High Density Foam Roller, and when waiting between coats put the roller in a plastic bag and squeeze the roller so that there is no oxygen to dry the paint that is on it . (you can get about 3-4 coats on the cor before you need to change to a new one.)
If I was shown the car without the video I wouldn't have known he did the paint himself
Nice job sir! Simple video, love the background music, TY
paint created to stop rust, does just fine! :) keep the dollars.
Wow! Fantastic results! Thank for the music, as well.
Well done. Shows what a little patience can achieve, and I'll bet not too many picked it was rolled!
Well done, and thanks for sharing this info!
Very nice job for the low amount of money spent.
Just a few things I would recommend to add to what the video creator did IF you want to maxamize the quality of the finish:
After wet sanding with 800 grit I would move on to 1000, 1500, 2000 AND then buff it out.
I would recommend also going to a paint supply store and getting a sanding pad that the sandpaper wraps around. They are inexpensive and will spread out the paper for a more uniform sanding pattern.
After wet sanding then use a buffing compound with a buffing pad.
Then using a polishing compound with a polishing pad.
If you're really into it then using a heavy cut buffing compound and pad followed by a fine cut compound and pad. followed by a heavy polishing compound/pad followed by a fine polishing compound/pad. Each stage makes a finer finish. Be careful not to sit in one place too long with the rotary machine or you could burn through the paint.
After all that then wax. Good luck!
Great stuff
I would also recommend adding a hardener to the paint.
Did you miss the point of this being a $50 job
@@MakingMovesMajor Yes. Yes I did. Absolutely....
Well, no. No I didn't.
I say old chap, well done🧐
The previous owner of my supra had done some body work and covered the entire front end of the car in primer. I used roughly four coats of generic Rust-Oleum burgundy rattle can paint (two cans), wet sanded, and then did two coats of Krylon brand clear spray paint. I think it needs another coat of clear tho. Otherwise it looks pretty good. Color match was O.K. But it sure is better than primer. There isn't really any orange peel if you keep your coats thin. For best results, do 5 coats of color and 3-4 coats of clear. Keep a good distance between the spray tip and the painting surface, this will reduce orange peel.
I was curious about the krylon clear coat and if I could use it on rustoleum oilbased paint.
Not all heros wear capes...
first class great job thanks for sharing
Well done !!
I'm impressed by your amazing skills and showroom-like results 👏
Yes, the music I'm going to use to wet sand my car.
Classical is metal af
tell you one thing I remember when a paint job only cost 1500$ for a inside and out now some shops want 7k
sd33zy313 they want to sell u your car back now days
Capitalism
They quoted me 11000 to paint my 1954 ford red
Won't the paint shops have to bring the prices down? If less people go to a pro paint shop?
Its time we as consumers just said No!
Autobody shop would have to stop using us as cash cows. Love DYI UA-cam videos.
I tried to roll on no luck, the first time. I used a foam roll it had much orange peel. Then I tried using a 3/8 nap 4inch roller. I waited for an 80 degree day. It came out so much better. I used rustoleum oilbased paint. Looks so good that I probably don't need to sand and buff at least for now.
What did you mix the paint with
That's actually pretty cool, I really like the music ; )
Thanks for the steps in the description too, cool stuff. That's a ridiculously long time though, 5-8 hours between coats and you need about 5? wouldn't using a different paint be better, not an oil based paint?
Johny40Se7en depends how much money you have.
Did two coats on my work Truck with the same technique, saved a grand. Couldn't get rid of the orange peel though, didn't really care.
Very nice job
That's cool ! I wonder how long it will last in the elements?
heck of a job bud!
They should call you the magic man that was nice.
Wow nice Job 👌👌👌👌
Use penetrol. House painted for years. It gives the paint time to flow out with a smoother finish. Your shadows will be smoother. Not knocking. Just painted a long time
Nice video, careful camera work.
where can u get pentrol pait.. and is it mixed or just off the self?
June Vue Any paint store. It's just an additive to paint. Using that paint on a car though especially rolling it on, no amount of additive will make it look good.
Use many vodka!
@ Had Enough!, hi guys, the best results that I have had was by following the Magic Painter Method (i found it on google) definately the no.1 info that I've tried.
or you can use the same paint he did (rustoleum) and wet sand with higher grit, 800,1000,1500, and 2000 for better results
he could have wet sanded more for a "professional" look. it's not about the paint but rather how you prep the car prior to painting.
I've done this for years, people flip out when find out done with roller, I tell them you wouldn't know if I didn't tell you.
I like your wet sand technique
Did u only do the one wet sand or did u wet sand in between any coats also?
Did mine in white.
good job
I wonder if any of the ceramic sprays would take to the oil paint to protect it more?
you have to make thinner coatings. otherwise you'll get this orange peel effects.
Spencer this looks awesome!!!! What type of paint did you use? I see the other products but I didn't see the type of paint. Please share thanks
Just plain oil based rustoleum. But you can use any oil based paint. Just remember to cut it with low odor mineral spirits. Also high density foam rollers are the best way to get the uniform application.
@@c.spencer2338 sir did u use a special sealer or primer? Or did u jus apply over the old paint?
@@waynewilliams5802No Sealer or Primer, Just Rustoelum Oil Base paint, and Low Odor Mineral Spirits applied with a high density foam rollers. I would always suggest 5-6 thin coats with foam roller. Wet sanding and Buffing are key to getting this to shin like it has a clear coat. Also, I sanded down the hood in the hood prior to this video with red Scotchbrite and I believe Denatured alcohol to remove any remaining dirt or dust.
WoW👀
Not bad, not bad at all :-)
I wonder....if one had an assistant who held an orbital sander against the panel you were painting....if the paint wouldn't sheet better?? Just a thought....
Hey for the money $$ thats a great job
Pretty decent all things considered.
its aight,
good job!
Seems to me you are adding way too much thinner. The bubbling is the first big clue. Use a loaded roller. Full enough that paint doesn't drip with the roller, but holding as much paint as it can, I find using the oil based paint the way it should be properly thinned. Use Penetrol, a smoothing/ flowing - agent available a good paint stores Usually no more than 10%. The consistency should be more like cream than milk.
Don't over roll and keep going back over it as it dries. that causes stippling.
I was a house painter for years as a young man and painted a lot of industrial equipment, and a few personal trucks and cars . This has been my experience anyway
keep the pad flat when polishing
Bondo for severe rust? I'm doing that plus this in the spring. I'm not a hater.
Abrade it to bare metal and use rust converter first. You want to lock the oxidation down. Then prime and bond do. Depending on your car it might be better to just replace the panel.
dose it have to be oil based paint ?
Great!!! Thanks.
Great video! My question is if you’re just using paint from a spray paint can. Do you still need the mineral spirits? Also how long did all coats take you in total?
I would suggest using oil based paint that comes in a pale. ( you can get any color you want mixed at Home Depot or Lowes) and you can get difference glosses, ( in the event you wanted to go flat black or earth tones), Rattle Can paint jobs will be faster, but you will still need to polish it afterwards. I worked on it for 2 hours everyday for a week when I got home from work. on the weekend I painted 2 coats a day. one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. Total Coats are 5 on the sides 6 on the hood and roof.
Can I use any oil based paint in a pale? I’ve looked at some tractor paints, but I’m just wondering if I can use paint from one of the big box stores.
Thats it... do what you gotta do. Car Manufacture paint has given people alot of ugly paint jobs a few years after they leave the lot, they aint what they use to be.
Àmazing
Really nice job there and some uplifting classical music..I am wanting to roll on a satin black finish on my suburban..I don't plan on doing any wet sanding or buffing because I like the orange peel effect..but I do not want roller edge lines to show..is it best to thin the paint with spirits or acetone?..also since Home Depot does not sell satin in gallon cans, is there a way to turn the gloss black into a low gloss or sheen to mimic a satin finish?..thanks for any help
+Don Vegan get a full gallon for the suburban, and remember to take your time! give it multiple coats with a few days in between each too, you will love the results.
+Don Vegan I would say that if you at using satin textured paint I would not worry about scuffing it up..
Just be sure to use Scotchbrite pads (red or green) before you start and make sure you have no oily residues on the paint surface.
I sanded the orange peel out of my paint to get the mirror like finish. but again with your satin paint it would not worry about it. Your Suburban is going to look like one of the cars from Agents of SHEILD. It will be very cool.
+C. Spencer..Its been awhile but I got my suburban painted, and once I got the 3rd coat on I was very happy with it...maybe I will post a picture, but the satin finish adds a dramatic effect or sure..thanks for your advice
+C. Spencer Can you show a more update video of this car you painted if you still have it?
+michaelleeconner79
I no longer own the car but I did sell it to a fellow at my work, I will talk to him and see if I can take another video of it since its been more than a year.
Hi, C Sepmcer. I am planning a Rustoleum paint job and I intended to use a similar method: Roller, paint several layers without sanding in between and then wet sand and polish with a buffer. I am prepared to wait in between coats (Il do it over a few weekends if necessary). Do you think it would be possible to achieve a high gloss professional result with this method? Would a sprayed on clear coat be a good idea? Thanks.
Absolutely. I sold the car to a friend a work. I see the car about everyday. If you wait 24 hours between coats, and put at least 5 coats on you will have a great base to work with (you can always put on more coats). As for the polishing, I sanded in between coat just to make sure things were going right and I wanted a show room finish. You dont have to sand. In fact I did not wet sand my Jetta When I painted it like this. and it came out great. I took some polish to it about 4 months after I painted it and took an almost mirror like finish
Stay away from clear coats. They dont work well on the oil based paint jobs and they will winkle the finish. The multiple layer system will give your years and years on your paint job.

number of coats?
Clear coat?

Did you use any acetone

Eu só molhava a areia para a 2ª 3ª e 4ª demão, e 5ª demão de polimento com composto de polimento.
I'm thinking of doing my car's roof, hood, and front bumper rustoleum gloss black (Not sure if it matches the code of my car, but there seems to be no flake or pearl in it anyway) as the clearcoat on the hood and roof peeled, and the front bumper is new. do you think i should use some sort of clear coat over the rustoleum paint? or is it tough enough by itself. i'm kind of worried
+ghostrider433 No clear coat needed, the oil based paint is easy to polish/wax after it has gassed off and fully cured.
C. Spencer I ended up painting the panels with rustoleum. will not do again that's for sure. i'll save oil based for my yard machinery. in the spring/summer i plan on using a real urethane automotive paint after i scrape this rustoleum shit off. i also did sand it up with 3000 and buff and polish. what a waste of time. still looks like trash
Wow
How long did you wait before you left it for the paint to dry
I waited a full day between each coat I believe. It needs to be dry. But does not have to gas off right away. Which would be more than a week . The low odor mineral spirits will help it dry faster.
i heard oil based paint eats gets worse faster than water based paint. like i used oil based wax on my car and it ate through my paint. i then switched to water based wax and it lasted longer. i wonder if the paint is the same way.
+Vincent Lambert Waxes should be wax based and they don't eat through paint. Over vigorous machine buffing eats through paint.
there is no such thing as oil based wax you fucking bonehead,its wax.did the fucking
bee's eat oil then shit out oil based wax???fucking people,unbelievable....
did you go to a room (or several rooms)from 5 yrs old to 17 yrs old were topics,subjects and other things were discussed at great length and a diploma was given out at then end as a reward ?its called school,try it.............
Does it last for a long time ?
nice job well done and subscribe
Did you skip priming or would you only do that if you had serious rust (like I do on my '97 Ram 1500)?
If it is pit rust I would sand it to bare metal, then use a rust metal primer/ or a sandable filler primer. The rustoleum rusty metal primer is worth its weight in gold. I have primed so many nasty spot on my friends truck and it never rusted again in those spots, (I had also used a rust converter on that as well, it turned the rust black after 5 minutes, I let it dry over night then hit it with the rusty metal primer.
Thx Will do. Great vid.
#ZtWeve I've been studying spray painting and found an awesome website at Magic Painter Method (google it if you're interested)
wow,you suck
How does it look after 6 months?
So No clear coat needed with oil base paint?
well, there are not many decent oil based clear coats that are UV friendly, Also you would want the base to completely Off Gass for a a few months before hand. I would say that If you dont mind polishing twice a year, the oil base has a nice deep luster too it. I have also seen some glitter added to a mix, that looks amazing!
@@c.spencer2338 cool. thanks for replying. I have painted my car b4 I did a good job. I got a work van and need to paint it fast and cheap, I might try this method next.

I no longer have the car, but I work with the guy I sold it to, I will take a video of it sometime this coming week and post a link on the end of this video to give an update, (spoiler alert) it still looks great, I needs a wax though, I do not think my buddy has washed it since he bought it.
Noice!!!! :-)
too many HATERS and LOSERS in this comment section ... !
not professional as its still orange peely and has dull patches BUT that said its a roller job so not bad, good vid!
professional results? thats hilarious.
not worth it still hazy
