Cool idea with mixing the flakes and pearls. You might get a little better results spraying a flake and the spraying pearl over the top of that. The flakes are more dominant than pearls so the pearl would need to be more on top. I played with that a few years ago on a test panel just to see if I could get a pearl essent over flake and it turned out kinda cool but it did change up the color so that’s why I didn’t go with it
I like these vids, they're very motivating I was thinking about trying to paint my 1983 oldsmobile with rustoleum using a wagner turbine sprayer I used for dipping my cars years ago.
I've heard the new it's not that new anymore Mazda red. They put silver in with the red paint and then a black in the clear to give it that real deepness. Have you ever tried just using the rustolium with hardener? Cheers Graham
Yes they make a little can that you can get at tractor supply or you can also use automotive grade acrylic enamel hardener works well with Rustoleum Thanks for watching
Thanks for the videos you're right about Heather is not very many videos or painting cars with powder beside dipping them ive been looking all over UA-cam trying to find them because i recently purchased a truck that i was wanting to flip and my uncle had some left over red paint that he had from painting his tractors and gave me almost a gallon an was wanting to add little bit of pearl and flake to it anyway if it was you spraying it what color flakes an pearl what would you recommend. Thanks an great video...
Anything red silver or gold would look great over red or in the paint glad your enjoying the vids I'm all about finding cheaper ways to do custom paint and experimenting with new techniques that I'll be sure to share with you guys thanks for watching 😎👍
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS thanks for the reply back an recommendations an videos I think I'll mix a lil bit of the gold an see what it looks like an then lil of the silver an see which one I think would look best.. keep up the videos
You can get them at tractor supply and they sell a hardener you add to the gallon you don't thin the clear just add the hardener and your good to go thanks for watching
I would use Japan dryer in the base not in the clear and 2 bags 50g is recommended for most paint jobs to get good coverage for the least amount of coats thanks for watching
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS truly i appreciate ur knowledge all ur input has made me a more successful and better painter ,what's ur flash time with rustoleum base before u apply ur clear and pearl effects
@@lssleepers6464 depending on temp I generally wait 20 mins between coats of base 30 to 45 if it's a heavier coat then give everything an hr to settle before applying the clear I would wait a little longer on between coats with the clear and if your doing more than 3 coats of clear wait up to an hr between coats to be safe but generally you really just have to gauge the tack on everything touch the paper and make sure it's not coming off on your finger is a great indicator as well
Closest you can get to that in rustoleum paint would be navy blue in the quarts at Lowe's or home Depot if you want the Pearl effect you would have to get the deep sea blue pearl and add a clear coat or you can get an automotive paint that matches that color hope this helps and thanks for watching

All about contrast
Man. Thanks for your time and tips...

If you have been dipping then this would be like second nature thanks for watching 😎👍

How much pearl would you need to add to four litres or a gallon cheers Graham
50 g to a gallon Thanks for watching
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS thx mate
Where are you getting the gallons of clear from, and do you think the clear the same way
You can get them at tractor supply and they sell a hardener you add to the gallon you don't thin the clear just add the hardener and your good to go thanks for watching
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS thank you, I've been a fan of the rustoleum paint jobs for awhile now. Do they make the clears in a satin or semi-gloss
@@terrysibley9636 not that I'm aware of in the majic brand which is the tractor supply clear
So when putting it over base is 25 or 50 gram needed when im applying it in the clear and do u need japan dryer
I would use Japan dryer in the base not in the clear and 2 bags 50g is recommended for most paint jobs to get good coverage for the least amount of coats thanks for watching
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS so what all do u put in ur clear just the pearl and ur harder 4:1 ratio plus the bag pearl
@@lssleepers6464 exactly and I've found adding a little extra hardener doesn't hurt because the clear tends to harden slowly

Does rustoleum offer Deep sea blue ?

Have you ever sprayed one pearl color and then sprayed another pearl color over the top of it?
Yes stacking pearls I will be doing in a future vid so stay tuned
