    I painted my entire life and always laughed at foam rollers. Now I'm the biggest fan. I never paint cabinets except with foam rollers. I'm fixing to paint my truck with a foam roller and I know I can do a better job than spraying after wet sanding.

    Tip for wet rollers and brushes - just get excess drip paint off then put in air tight plastic bag twisting the bag then around the handles = wet, steady to go in the morning without washing, throwing away and never ending cleaning. Keeps the roller / brushes wet and fresh.

    🏆🖌 This is one of the better DIY vehicle roller paint job videos out
    there. When you see the before and after shots you have to agree: it's
    100% better-- and the metal is now protected. I especially like that
    there was no annoying-- and often crappy-- background music playing as

    Hi I think painting an old car with a brush or roller is the best way to preserve a car that still has a lot of life in it. My dad painted both his cars with a brush and rust-o-leum and he hardly ever washed them ever again and both cars never rusted ever again. "NEVER PUT MONEY IN THE BODY OF A CAR - IT'S MONEY YOU NEVER GET BACK OUT OF IT". Thanks. Sincerely, JAMES.

      From a distance ,it looks good, but up close you can see imperfections.
      I'm using same spray paint that was made for plastic and pre primed,so I think I will spray small roller then apply.

    In 1987 I painted my VW camper in black hammerite, it had prevoiusy been done badly in silver with heavy runs in places, which I flattened out. I used a 9" gloss roller and a 2" gloss brush and the finish was perfect, even had a couple of people ask me where I had it done and they were suprised when I told then how I did it.

    ONCE YOU APPLY THE PAINT.........if it has been more than just a few seconds....DO....NOT........ROLL ( or brush) ...BACK ....OVER..... THAT ....AREA........ until after the paint has significantly firmed up.
    Even though it LOOKS like orange peel..... DONT TOUCH IT...... it will somewhat " lay down" or " self level"...
    but...
    If you re-roll or rebrush over paint that is more than a "minute old"....
    VERY shortly after paint is initially laid down, it starts to dry, first by skinning over.
    The top most molecules start to cure and harden...THEN...if you brush or roll back over that curing/hardening paint... YOU....WILL.... disturb and distort that " skin"....
    rolling or brushing over freshly laid paint is what CAUSES brush strokes or orange peel.
    like it or not..... lay down a coat.... and move on... if its been more than a minute DO NOT GO BACK AND TOUCH IT UP ... if it HAS been only a few seconds...myou might be able to add more paint but make sure that you fully " re-wet" the whole area with fresh wet paint which help all of it lay back down.

    First thing you need to use self leveling paint if your expecting no Oregon peal. The best place to find the self leveling paint is at a farm supply store. It’s called Tractor 🚜 paint. It cost around 35 bucks a gallon. But you don’t need primer or reducer you just clean the serfs and then roller it on with a sponge roller put 1 cot on what 15 to 24 hours thin apply a second cot wait about four days then you can put decals or pinstripes or spray paint over it. You can also wet sand and buff it too

    @MzGFunk 7 років тому +7

    Just soak your roller in the paint then put plastic over top and seal around it tightly with tape. Good to go the next day. I think it'd be better to go one good pass with the roller and to do more coats than to keep going over one coat with the roller bc it starts to disrupt the paint more than cover it.

    • @smallfrey47
      @smallfrey47 6 років тому +1

      Penetrol is a paint additive that can extend oil-based paint without thinning it. The dry time is longer, but the finish tends to be smoother. By extending the dry time, you can go back and touch up within a longer period without dragging the paint. Takes longer to get tacky. Floetrol is their product for latex paints, and is helpful when painting on warm days.

    I'm wanting to try roll and tipping, run a 4" roller for even disbursement of paint in one direction and barely drag a quality paint brush in the opposite direction over small sections rolled out, to remove air pockets and bubbles caused by the roller. I want to try penetrol instead of thinner in order to remove most all brush marks, and add a couple % of enamel hardener for harder most luster finish. It supposed to lay as flat as spray and equal the shine. The extra supplies needed would likely only cost as much as the extra sandpaper you need.

    It's kinda funny how people seem to think the One and Only way to paint a car is by spraying (preferably in a mucho expensive paint booth); and that using rattle-cans, or a roller, or a brush just means you're going to get a crap result.
    Well, as you prove, it doesn't have to be that way; sure, it takes a bit more elbow-grease but you can still have a damn nice paint-job at the end of it.
    Guess that goes to show what "Everybody knows you can't..." is worth, eh?

    when done with the first coat, you can just wrap your roller up in a plastic shopping bag or a small trash bag and just keep it air tight. I like to roll it in the paint first before sticking in a bag that way it's nice and juicy and it stays usable right away when pulling it out of the bag just make sure you don't leave it in direct sunlight or enough to flow through because it can tack up and dry, but between it should be just fine wrapped up in the bag if you get a little bit wet with the paint you were using and then just store it in there while you wait to do the second coat. Shoot, I've had a roller wrapped up for a couple weeks and I still pulled it out and it was ready to roll so they last a while if they're not exposed to heat or air I mean, they have actual roller canisters that are like the size of Pringle Can that you stick your roller in while it's wet and it'll keep it ready to use

      World War 2 America has no painting equipment everything went to the war. We have to use what we had lying around painters use roll on paint. he have to wet sand and polish. after that can tell no difference. between spray-on and rolling on. that's how who won the war World War 2 ingenuity

    One year ago I knew nothing about painting but I wanted to fill\prime\paint my car by myself. I read about painting a car with rustoleum and watched some videos and I thought it is a very good idea and cheap. Now I'm sure it is a very bad idea! Look at the video, he sanding a car with 400 grit sand paper. You know what does it mean? 1) It has to be many many layers of paint (means extra money + extra time). Because 400 grit will leave huge marks. 2) To make paint glossy you will need to increase grit very slightly: 400-600-800-1000-1200-1500 (usually it requires 1-2 more extra steps with 2000 or 3000) .So it is very time consuming! Polishing a whole car take about 14 hours if you have good experience\good tools. Polishing a car with a normal paint job which doesn't require 400 grit! Don't forget that sanding by hand leaves more marks than random orbital polisher with the same grit. Bad abrasives leave scratches even if you do everything correctly. If a paint job is bad, it will be very difficult to make it look smooth in difficult areas such as areas near handles etc.
    For a small car, with a good spray gun it is enough 1L of base coat and 1L of clear coat. The price for this is not much higher than 4 L of rustoleum. You can get a cheap compressor and than sell it. The same with a spray gun. If you paint your car with a spray gun with good 2K basecoat\clear coat you won't need to sand it = saves your time and money you spend on abrasives\cutting compound\pads etc. Your car will look glossy just after you painted it. You spend 10 times (I don't exaggerate) less time and you have a better result. You probably will need to spend 2 times more money than on rustoleum plus brushes\abrasives\cutting compounds etc

      Very rarely can you just spray on paint and clear and be done with it. Most respectable paint shops will go through the same process that I used. Wet sand and buff to smooth high gloss

    • @ТайбенайПрисуд
      @ТайбенайПрисуд 8 років тому

      Which type of paint do the modern cars use? 2K paint: base coat plus clear coat. You never buff the base coat. And you sand base coat only if the were some problems like runs, insects, dust etc. After you sand, you spray it again. Then you put a clear coat.
      I'll give you an example from my life. I had a set of spray guns from an automotive store. They looked ok, I though they spray ok. But I had a horrible orange peel which required 600 grit to remove. Then I bought a good gun, sprayed base coat and cc. Here is the result.
      i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee409/tim8310/20160413_190248_zpseeuyss9k.jpg
      It is not perfect because I used the gun first time. and the gun is not a professional model, plus cheap clear coat and base coat. But it is not too bad. And I didn't buff. sand or polish it. Even with what I got (gun and components), I can get better results. I just need more practice. Pro with a pro equipment can get even much better results.
      I believe any normal person would like to spend less time but get a good result. If you spend a lot of time, it should pay off. If you are preparing a car for show and you spend a lot of time I can understand it. But if you just want to fix your old car, then it is so stupid to spend so much time! Spraying a detail properly, will make a look of a new car. Do new cars need sanding or buffing? No! I'm sanding my whole car now. Not to fix a faulty paint job. Factory paint has a lot of scratches and I want to remove it. It is very time consuming if you do it properly.
      I could believe in all this rust oleum bullshit before I tried spraying, sanding etc etc
      But not now)))

      Next time instead of picking it off try using a heavy duty degreaser and a brush. Easier And faster. A buddy of mine used PD on his whole pickup. Looked nice but he decided after two years he wanted the original factory paint back so we washed and used degreaser on it and it went from PD black to the factory super white in a couple hours.
