I have videos in a Playlist for a 1988 clubcar golf cart where I did cut and buff this same paint. This cart came out so nice, I did not buff it. I sold this cart in August for $5k. Rustolium makes a clear coat but is not carried locally but can get it on line. I did paint a Honda Reflex also on my channel with Rustolium spray cans and did clear coat it looks awesome!
2 cans of paint cost me $20, not counting DA pads, sandpaper, cleaning supplies, paper, masking tape and about a dozen other things. may as well say 20 cent spray job if you're going to mislead people.
It's really up to you. Rustolium is a single stage paint, and will last for many years without a clear. They sell a clear and it will look better and last longer with it. If you scratch it, you would be able to spot paint it without clear, with clear you would have to repaint the panel for best results. Good luck! Glenn
Did you go through the entire qt? I'm asking as I'm about to paint a txt and want to do the top and bottom of the roof as well and wondering if a qt will do the entire cart with roof.
I think I used a bit over half a quart, but I recommend having an additional quart on hand just in case. Keep the receipt and return it if you don't end up needing it.
I know next to nothing about painting. What kind of inexpensive paint gun would you recommend? Also I have a Rigid twin tank contractor compressor. Would that be sufficient to use? Thanks.
So I have a collection of vintage Binks and Devilvis Spray guns and it's all I have used. Harbor Freight sells HVLP Guns... High Volume Low Pressure. There cheapest one, Purple, I think is like 15 bucks, and I have heard nothing but good from everyone about it. I, too, have a twin tank for taking with me and I used it to paint the backup generator at work many years ago, and it was fine. just don't be in a hurry. It will run warm so you will need a good water separator.
The body was factory red coated plastic, not really paint. It had been rattlel can painted previously. The roof is a softer plastic and the same color all the way through the plastic. I have seen people paint roofs, it takes a bit of prep to pull that off.
I did not.... I have cleared other projects, and it will add depth and gloss and look great, but repairing and repainting becomes a bigger job. Good luck with yours. Glenn
Thanks for a great video. It's just what I needed, and very instructive. It' just perfect for me, as the old Yamaha G2 we bought for my wife's "run-around-the property-cart", so like yours, it doesn't have to be perfect. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. It's early April here in central Arizona, then temps are just starting to hit the 60's-70's, so perfect time for me to get 'er done! Thanks again
You might see many youtubers that skip the mask while filming as it muffels the voice and makes for poor audio. Your point is well taken, a mask should be worn when sanding.
The under side of this cart was excellent, nothing like the top side.. thankfully... We used it on our trip, performed flawlessly, went into the pit area before and after each race, around camp, drove it to town twice, we had power one night so it only got charged one night the whole 10 day trip.
Around 10%. In my video I talk about how many seconds it takes when you pull the stir stick out and the stream of paint starts to drip. 6 to 7 seconds. Rewatch that part of the video.
Looks real nice
LOOKS AWESOME, IF YOU SAND the 🍊 peel DISAPPEARS ?
THANKS
Yes, you can cut and buff the finish to show quality. Just put enough paint on so you can sand some off.
@@GlennsSpeedShop THANKS
Very nice job I have never used acetone as a paint thinner but I like the results. And primer from harbor fright wow my hat of to u sir
Sir that's an awesome job. Imma get ready to do mine. Thank you so much for the video!!!🏆🏆🏆
I didn't notice a clear coat or a final buff for orange peel. When would you recommend a clear coat and a final buff for orange peel?

Thanks for this video. I’m motivated especially right now that the weather is nice in AZ.

You can paint 2 golf carts with 1 quart of paint, about 15 Bucks for a quart, use about 8 dollars worth...
Great job it was like watching Bob Ross. Got thinking about painting mine myself. Thanks for the insight.
Go for it!
Mask?
What?
I'm doing a golf cart too. Was wondering if you needed a clear top coat, and if so. High gloss oil base?
It's really up to you. Rustolium is a single stage paint, and will last for many years without a clear. They sell a clear and it will look better and last longer with it.

Glenn
What sander did you use?
Just a DA Sander. Dual Action, an electric sander will work fine too, fine paper ..
Glenn
Thank you, what grit?
Looks good! Getting ready to do the same to mine

From red to red that was a bit unclematic.... But still a good video to know how to paint it.

Nice paint job👍I recently found your channel and im enjoying it very much
Thanks for watching
Glenn
If the golf cart has a plastic roof, is it painted the same way as the body or is there a different process?
The body was factory red coated plastic, not really paint. It had been rattlel can painted previously. The roof is a softer plastic and the same color all the way through the plastic. I have seen people paint roofs, it takes a bit of prep to pull that off.
HI Babe,
Looks awesome! We’re painting a friends cart too… Did you clear coat it after you painted it? Just wondering? Thanks!
I did not.... I have cleared other projects, and it will add depth and gloss and look great, but repairing and repainting becomes a bigger job. Good luck with yours.
Glenn
Nice work. Just finished my first attempt refinishing and painting my cart. Thanks for the video.

Glad it was helpful!
Good job .. thank you for sharing
Did a wonderful job I’m doing mine the same color
Why the gloves? And nothing for the sanding dust?

Looks great bud ! 👍
Beautiful job.
Nice work Glenn looks great!
Great video
I plan on doing the same thing to my golf cart !!!
Let me know how it turns out!
Glenn
You just gave me the motivation and encouragement to do my own. I mean you did it in one day! Beautiful results honestly.
Great... I sold that cart last month for 5 grand...
Nice job.... Hey question, with is the width, and length of your lift table?
The center is about 2 ft by 9 ft with 2 12 inch side extensions. 1500 lb rated
Nice job, how does the frame look, doing any rust cleanup?
The under side of this cart was excellent, nothing like the top side.. thankfully... We used it on our trip, performed flawlessly, went into the pit area before and after each race, around camp, drove it to town twice, we had power one night so it only got charged one night the whole 10 day trip.
What is the ratio of acetone to full quart of rustoleum?Thanks God Bless!
Around 10%. In my video I talk about how many seconds it takes when you pull the stir stick out and the stream of paint starts to drip. 6 to 7 seconds. Rewatch that part of the video.
This supposed to lay bumpy looking?
No... smooth and slick, just like this. If you want bumpy, try bed liner ..
I must not be mixing it right.. Coming out not smooth and glossy.. More like orange peel
@@GlennsSpeedShop
What grit did you use? I didn't hear you say :P
Shoot for 360 grit, then primer, then 600 grit before paint. Good Luck.
Glenn
Damn. Great work.
How long are you waiting between each coat?
It's really weather dependant, you want the first coat tacky, not wet and not dry... tacky
Worked like a charm from 20 feet away looks like a show car lol@@GlennsSpeedShop
Looks awesome! Nice work sir
Great video, and great work!
Good luck with your fixer upper!
Glenn
You spent at least 4 times longer masking it than taking the body off, it takes five minutes…
Whats time between coats
Depends on temp and humidity, 15 min ot till tacky...
Good luck
Glenn
Did you shoot clear on it also?
No, but Rustolium makes a clear, and you can. Touchups are way easier without a clear coat and still looks great. I just sold that golf cart for $5k.
Great job showing and explaining all the steps, you make it look easy! Turned out awesome! Thank you for sharing your video! Very clear quality 😃👍
What kind of detail spray gun did you use
Nothing Special. Auto parts store purchase decades ago.
