Your granma loves you alot. There aren't many like her, try to help her as much as possible, cut the grass, wash her car, even wash the dishes, she deserves it. I wish I had a granma like her. Tell her I love her, because she is what I didn't have . God bless. Also your little bro. was helping you without complaining .You are blessed and highly favored.
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.
I repainted my entire 2003 Nissan Pathfinder LE with Rustoleum black glossy. I used 4 inch wool mini rollers and the outcome was better than any Maaco paint job I’ve had with a longer warranty as well.
@@jeromemalveaux3790 basically in short I thought it’d be an awful idea, needless to say the outcome was 10/10. Highly recommend this to anyone as broke as I was at the time 😂
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 he spoke. Grandma in the background was a nice touch. She appears ready to spring into action if asked. 👵🏻 👍🏻
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.
I painted my firebird with a four inch roller and it was shiny and looked better then a spray can job and I didn’t have to worry about my neighbors bitching about getting over spray on there cars parked down the street.
All I'm trying to do after multiple coates is to get my plastic pathfinder front bumper smooth. 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.
this is actualy a house hold tip: ceep the roller in a plastic bag and the roller is good to use the next day!. i cant say this works with car paint but wall paint is 100% good to go the next day!
+otto leeverink it will work with this paint, its just rust metal paint, I keep mine in any grocery bag, seal it up best i can, and put it in the old fridge. never dries out that way, no need to clean it, i would never clean a oil based roller lol!
Wouldn't work here so much. He used spirits to dilute the paint which will dissolve plastic bags. The stuff even dissolved a pair of rubber gloves off my hands
I have painted lots of old cars and trucks this way bro . With skills it totally legit and comes up really good . I appreciate your courage in putting your self out their bro 😊stay strong and fuck those haters 😂
Only people that pay $2,500 for paint job and still have runs, orange peel and bugs and dirt embedded in the paint hate this video. This guy is a genius car painted for less than $50. I’ve painted cars like this before too.
Getting ready to repaint my '08 Honda Element, and wanted a reliable DIY method... loooove the Rustoleum plan! Thanks for your tips on rollers, # coats, etc. I'm off-grid, no garage, so I may have some leaves and pine needles sticking... haaaaaa!
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
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.
Fill a pringles can with paint, hole in the lid for the metal rod, put it on before the roller. When you are done, dip it and stick in the can, or even better, fill the can with enough paint to keep it submerged.
i am a paint and body school grad and i have always wanted to try the roller paint job, don't get me wrong i love spraying paint but i believe there are many ways to get a nice paint job. i am planing to use tractor paint on my upcoming project '''an 81' toyota pickup that is going john deere yellow''' and i don't care if people don't like it, i think people will be impressed with how good it looks and how well it holds up outside.
I did this years ago using both spray and roller. I didn't thin the paint, I added Penetrol and it worked GREAT! Also, never reuse a roller when you can afford a new, clean one. Just sayin. Car turned out so good that I had request to paint other people's junkers! LOL
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.
If using a roller is an approved method of painting airplane panels than its more than good enough for cars as long as you're not looking for something too smooth, its gonna have a slight rough texture to it, but its way better and not to mention easier than using a can of spray paint, trust me
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.
good video, I'm doing my 79 soon. thanks for showing the rustoleum professional. I was worried because the cure time is different than the traditional "rust stops". (comes in the white can). I am probably going to do 50/50 on the mix, I don't mind re painting a few extra coats. good video, keep them coming kudos to all your friends helping... very cool bro!
At American Airlines I started as a painter,we used polyurethane 2-part paint it looked pretty good.Some buffoons always applied a good squirt of accelerator in a paint tray,1-2 drops or it dries as you are painting.Little hairs grow off the paint.
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?
+Jim P You're absolutely correct. Unfortunately, I ran out of elbow grease, so it's going to a shop...haha. But it can be done for sure! Thanks for the awesome comment!
Jim P I have a black 99 Chevy Cavalier and the paint and clearcoat have come off but I’ve thought about getting some exterior glossy black paint and just using a brush or roller and painting it. It couldn’t look any worse than it does now. What do you think about that?
When removing a hood or in Britain, bonnet. I always (try) to sink a self tapping screw in the both arms as well as the hood crash framework. This way it takes all of the guesswork out of remounting. Just My thoughts.
He can he uses me every day to get the nut stain out his pants and sheets I work good on nut stains fuck detergent if anyone sees tide tell him I want my fucking money
No matter water or oil based paint just put them in a plastic shopping bag and tie the end to seal the bag and good to go next day or in a few days time.
So how did using roller to paint hood come out? Have you done another video on second phase of what this video tutorial is about. I never saw this before...I didn't think a house wall painting roller could be used for a vehicle....that is why I keep an open mind to things in the world....things are at a constant in respect to evolution and evolving practices of doing most things....perfect it n pitch it young man god speed...
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
I roller cars. Been doing it for years. After every coat I wetsand it with 800 grit wipe it off dry and apply another coat. After 4 or 5 coats I start with 1500 sanding sponge 2000 sanding sponge 2500 sanding sponge then higher grade papers or buff depending on level of shine. I don't have access to a paint booth or compressor
I've seen allot of successful roller jobs... Best results and easy was to avoid "dry brushing" is to pour some paint directly on the panel and draw it out with a paint primed roller
Guy told me I ordered paint on eBay said use a 1/4 nap gonna get one at Lowe's on Saturday. Probably be better than using spray paint or a spray gun when all the paint fumes be in the air. I should of used a roller in the first place it seems better to me.
I did my truck a little bit ago in half hunter green/half white it's a sort of mint that changes more lime when light hits it. It came out sort a cool satin. Everyone including me likes it! I don't want to clear coat it, I'm afraid to mess around with the finish. You would have to see it, it looks really cool! Does anyone know if waxing will protect it?
Loved your video, I used dulux polyurethane orange on a datsun back in the 1970s that was rolled and it looked dam good I did have a problem with small bits of the roller stuck in the paint but from about 20 feet you thought it was a professional spray job. Just subbed regards from the uk.
Might help a little but if you're not worried about roller texture which I don't think you are you can buy sponge disposable roller 9" down to 4" you don't have to clean them they're cheaper than nylon and you don't get the little hairs from your roller in the paint.
A DIY how to video that doesn't show a finished product. Glad I watched this video! I should do a video on how to paint your car with a roller/ how to paint your bathroom with a spray gun....
Your math is right, but your measuring IS wrong. You said you need to put 4.8oz of thinner and 7.2oz of paint, but actually put around 5.8oz of thinner, because it was waay closer to 6 in the mixing cup... so you ended up mixing around 5.8 thinner and 6.2 paint, which kinda makes it almost 50:50 again. :D well done, plus you gained a subscriber
I painted a 79 Cutlass with a roller and a few quarts of baby blue Rustoleum gloss enamel Came out perfect Still looking for a photo of it from the late 80’s😅
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
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)))
@@Kanjo_Retired can you in theory thin out the pit a lot and dip small objects in the paint to coat them? If the paint is thin enough, wont it drip off evenly via gravity prior to drying? Thanks!
i laughed when you also had the plastidip problem. PO plastidipped the entire damn truck with what must have been 2 small coats. still trying to pick it all off before I paint it.
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.
This is low quality paint for cars, it's a simple alkyd with zero urethane and it's been thinned beyond the products capability to be a coating which will last longer 3 months.
Nice finish, amazing! 1. Did you use a mohair roller? 2. What is the wet sanding grit and do you use a machine or by hand? 3. What sort of paint did you use - a link would be helpful. Is this automotive paint?'
+Clint Chapel This is a rolled on Rustoleum finish: www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/photopost/data/1096/medium/Spirit_For_Sale_0071.jpg You can achieve a good finish with any application technique if you take your time and make sure it goes on smooth, then follow up with the proper finishing techniques. So take your insults somewhere else, because they've got no knowledgeable backing.

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
I roller cars. Been doing it for years. After every coat I wetsand it with 800 grit wipe it off dry and apply another coat. After 4 or 5 coats I start with 1500 sanding sponge 2000 sanding sponge 2500 sanding sponge then higher grade papers or buff depending on level of shine. I don't have access to a paint booth or compressor
I've seen allot of successful roller jobs... Best results and easy was to avoid "dry brushing" is to pour some paint directly on the panel and draw it out with a paint primed roller
I once had an orange cat and a can of rustoleum and when I woke up from a heavy night of drinking I now have a leopard, wife was like wtf
Mike Mike haha hahahahaaaa hahahaaaahahhohshit hahahaaaaha hahahaaaaa I need air hahahaha
Mike Mike 😂😂😂😂
Guy told me I ordered paint on eBay said use a 1/4 nap gonna get one at Lowe's on Saturday. Probably be better than using spray paint or a spray gun when all the paint fumes be in the air. I should of used a roller in the first place it seems better to me.
Did it to my Camaro and it wasn't bad. I can't wait to do it again on something else.
I did my truck a little bit ago in half hunter green/half white it's a sort of mint that changes more lime when light hits it.
It came out sort a cool satin. Everyone including me likes it!
I don't want to clear coat it, I'm afraid to mess around with the finish. You would have to see it, it looks really cool! Does anyone know if waxing will protect it?
this is what I am going to be doing to my car in a couple weeks. I'm planning on it turning out better than how it looks right now lol
How did it go

You are awesome!!!! Thank you for sharing your project!!!
I'm doing this too need to save money lol good stuff my friend
@Lorelei Schwarzwald absolutely my friend
Nice ! Wonder if I could use flat black!
grandma goals foreal
Loved your video, I used dulux polyurethane orange on a datsun back in the 1970s that was rolled and it looked dam good I did have a problem with small bits of the roller stuck in the paint but from about 20 feet you thought it was a professional spray job. Just subbed regards from the uk.
That's great!!! Glad to know how to do this!!!
Might help a little but if you're not worried about roller texture which I don't think you are you can buy sponge disposable roller 9" down to 4" you don't have to clean them they're cheaper than nylon and you don't get the little hairs from your roller in the paint.
If you put the roller in a sealed bag it will be fine to use as long as the air doesn’t fleet at it. Or ceran wrap it.
Turns roller over the get paint off the other side! lol.
Actually, so I didn't drag the metal handle against the raised portion of the hood
*bro love your honda bro SQUAAAAAD*
What do you wet sand, cut, and buff with? Be specific with grits, compounds, and sanders, please. Thanks!
Hi where is the 2nd video want to see wet sanding and clear coat
love it bro me and my gramma refinished her door
A DIY how to video that doesn't show a finished product. Glad I watched this video! I should do a video on how to paint your car with a roller/ how to paint your bathroom with a spray gun....
Jay M lol
LMFAO!!!
Throw that roller away and buy another ! A pack of roller brushes are not worth the dry paint trapped in the roller .
Your math is right, but your measuring IS wrong. You said you need to put 4.8oz of thinner and 7.2oz of paint, but actually put around 5.8oz of thinner, because it was waay closer to 6 in the mixing cup... so you ended up mixing around 5.8 thinner and 6.2 paint, which kinda makes it almost 50:50 again. :D well done, plus you gained a subscriber
I painted a 79 Cutlass with a roller and a few quarts of baby blue Rustoleum gloss enamel
Came out perfect
Still looking for a photo of it from the late 80’s😅
Do you think you can clearcoat with this method?
VOLKSWAGEN Rules, your Grandma rules. Best Regards from God Old Germany😉
The finish looks like raptor paint. A bit of sanding after and will look mat, ready for some clear
I think you would have achieved a better black finish by simply setting fire to it..!
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
Looks ok to me. Seen sprayjobs that looked worse...and he has the satisfaction of saving money and doing it himself. Can do at its best
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
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)))
Looks like fun
his grandma's got in to help that was cool
I've painted for 15 years every way imaginable and I've never thinned out paint that much way way to much use like 2 light pours
id have gone 80/20 paint/thinner if anything... that viscosity is still too thin even for a gun!
@@Kanjo_Retired can you in theory thin out the pit a lot and dip small objects in the paint to coat them? If the paint is thin enough, wont it drip off evenly via gravity prior to drying? Thanks!
i laughed when you also had the plastidip problem. PO plastidipped the entire damn truck with what must have been 2 small coats. still trying to pick it all off before I paint it.
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.
wow lovely
Thanks great video I know it's old but how long did you wait between coats ? I plan on doing my hood this Saturday
I did my mud truck this way. In all honesty if you use some really fine grit after and wet sand, then add clear coat it comes out pretty nice looking
Elevate the hood at one end and put some paint on your roller. The elevation will help the paint to smooth out and not pool up.
Use a mohair roller cover and ad penatrol to the paint, it will make it lay out nice and look like a spray job
Bee Enn The kid is on a budget do you have any idea how much a mohair roller skin is, penatrol alone will probably break him.
Bro got Grams helping lol 😆 nice
I don't think is stupid at all, it has its application. Race cars or beater cars, for example.
Earned a sub from me, just because of grandma!!
if you turn the roller around you get differnt light shades at differnt angles
The final result looked great... oh hang on wait you didn't show that, thanks
Thank you
Im gunna do this to my car.
So it's been a while, how is the paint holding up?
This is low quality paint for cars, it's a simple alkyd with zero urethane and it's been thinned beyond the products capability to be a coating which will last longer 3 months.
hi grandma....
Tried this and the paint bubbled up like you said so thought I'd leave it see if it flattens itself but it dried bubbly?
Thanks good job.greetings from netherlands
Nice finish, amazing!
1. Did you use a mohair roller?
2. What is the wet sanding grit and do you use a machine or by hand?
3. What sort of paint did you use - a link would be helpful. Is this automotive paint?'
All the answers are in the video. DID you watch it?
You suggest this for a lanai aluminum? Not gonna put that thinner in it though
No job this big can be done without Arizona green tea!
Way to show how it turned out at the end too. Great job 😒
+Carlos Diaz lol was thinking the same thing
+Carlos Diaz I can tell you how it looked. It looked like you painted your car with a roller........ like an idiot.
+Clint Chapel This is a rolled on Rustoleum finish:

You can achieve a good finish with any application technique if you take your time and make sure it goes on smooth, then follow up with the proper finishing techniques. So take your insults somewhere else, because they've got no knowledgeable backing.
I mean this is how they used to paint cars way back in the day. It's just a very old method, nothing wrong with it.
You're better off buying a gallon of DTM from PPG. No need for thinning.
wow, High School Econ: clean an $.89 roller with $12 a gallon lac. thinner.Skipped that Class 'Dude' , wtg.
I already had both of them, so cleaning it prevented me from spending more money than I already had. There's your economics.
@@BradenCarlsonAutos 😂😂😂😂😂
nice the grand even put in work
question: i got an all black 98 chevy, is it possible just to buy a gallon of glossy black then just roll it without any other materials?
I always a roller to avoid the brush marks....
This was a good one
