Back when the big 8 & 10 foot dish antennas were sprouting everywhere (70s & 80s?) I was building antenna mounts for them, along with other metal fab work. Rustoleum cut with Xylene was my go-to paint. Looked nice and, for reasons I can't explain, seemed more durable than when I cut it with paint thinner. Larry

RUSTOLIUM IS OIL BASED ENAMEL. YOU REALLY DONT WANT TO MIX ENAMEL WITH PAINT THINNER OR MINERAL SPIRITS. ACETONE IS BEST CUT. AND XY.

MY ZX6R I DID A BASE COAT METALIC SILVER AND THE THINNED OUT A BURNT ORANGE WITH CLEAR COAT SO IT WAS TRANSPARENT, THEN TOPPED IT WITH HARD AUTO CLEAR. BUFFED IT.

Rustoleum is an alkyd enamel and it’ll act like any other enamel when thinned, and if you add an enamel hardener it will catalyze like any other 2k paint. Just thinning it will make it dry faster but it won’t last and it will come off with chemicals like acetone.

Okbanyone who wants to do this here you go: Mix the rustoleum (alkyd enamel) with acetone to whatever consistency you like just don't go higher than a 50 - 50 ratio, then throw in an acrylic enamel hardener. Do not use urethane hardeners the chemistry is different. Using the enamel hardener catalyzes the paint, making it resistant to chemicals like gas and gives it UV protection so it won't go chalky like rustoleum right out of the can will. I offer this at my shop for cheap paint jobs as an alternative to certain chain store body shops like MAACO. Not that every Maaco is shit but a lot of them are

In our shop we tried 3 or 4 different clear over the rustoleum. Endura clear coat, PPG clear coat, industrial high performance clear coat, and even Rust-Oleum clear coat. All of them worked fine we never had an issue with the Rust-Oleum being clear-coated when we left enough time for the and elapsed time between clear coat. We did have occasion when we did not leave enough time and one or two areas created little bubblrs. I agree with you that proper preparation wipe down and pure common sense make a better job. Every instance when we had issues related to Rushing of speed because somebody wanted economical job. Moral of the story take a little extra time letting things set up pays dividends and not having to redo the job and spend that extra time and materials to redo it. A good quality masking tape and sandpaper make a huge difference also on an effective job. As for having Hi-Tech paint booths.

1 oz catalyst or japan drier should be mixed in to the paint and acetone mixture because rustoleum takes a week to fully dry without throughly

Absolutely agree - it works a lot better w/ hardener

Beautiful job that is what I am going to use on my old car and trucks. Do you recommend harder ? Can it be buffed out in a month. As always thanks for great video.

@LakesideAutobody

Yes - the hardener gives more durable paint, shine, and quicker dry time. Yes it can be buffed in a month or even earlier with the hardener. I'll try to do a video on that to see how early you can wheel it with hardener :)

Hi Nice vid Rustoleum is a great Paint and it works Well with Interlux 333 Brushing Thinner which is expansive but dam it works letting you use a term call Rolling and Tipping its all over KZread. I have used 333 with the 60 to 100 dollar a gallon Marine Paint for Topsides with great results but never tried it on good old Rustoleum until my contractor friend gave me 3 gallons of Gloss White Rustoleum and told me to me to paint my old boat it so ugly that it is scaring the fish. Dam it worked great now i just thinned it by eye but dam the end results looked like a very expensive spray job on my 20' Chris Craft i did for three gallons of Rustolleum a couple of foam rollers two packs of Beer and a Pizza.

What was your mixing ratio for rolling and tipping? I'm painting an old campervan, using rustoleum topside paint, mineral spirits, penetrol, and Valspar hardener. Dont have anywhere to spray it, so I've got to roll it. Thanks!

If u let it cure for 2 to 3 days you can wet sand and spray auto clear over the top

Hello Good video and lot of great information.Q: can i spray urethane clear coat on top of Rustoleum.

@LakesideAutobody

9 ай бұрын

I've heard of folks doing it but I have not. I would wait till the rustoleum completely dried - like a month or more then wet sand with 600 or finer. Then go ahead and clear it - can't really go wrong like that :)

Rustoleum used to be cheap it’s now 28$ a quart. Without hardener or acetone so it doesn’t make sense to use anymore. I’m better of with a single stage. But it’s more problematic. Thanks for the upload.

Thank you for making simple easy to understand videos! Can you give the approximate time between coats? I tried using Rust oleum before and it took hours to tack up. Does the acetone make it quicker between coats? Thanks again!

@LakesideAutobody

Acetone does help but Rustoleum likes warm temps - over 70 is best. That being said - wait till the last coat is dry or tacky. It could take 1/2 hour to hour sometimes. Use a hardener by MAJIC of similar - it will really make a difference for you.

Thanks, very good information. My temps were in the 50-60 range so probably where my issue of drying was. Your videos are the best on KZread. Too bad I didn't see them before I made all the mistakes. I also very much appreciate that you don't have all the loud obnoxious irritating music in yours. Thanks again.

Can you put clear coat on it, if so what kind would be used? Thanks, find your vids very useful.

I've heard of guys clearing it with various clears out there today like enamel or urethane and it looks great - I've seen it on youtube. Myself, I would wait for it to fully harden - then scuff it with the grey pad then clear it - I doubt you'll see the super fine scuffing under the clear and that way you'll be sure the clear sticks well.

I would let it dry for a long time - like days before clearing. I would try to find an enamel clear - maybe Paint For Cars Enamel Clear or something similar.

I need some advice... I am using Rustoleum to trim in a core support and grille brackets on my dad's 72 Chevy truck. I am going to use a 1K sealer over the factory LMC epoxy primer, then topcoat it with rustoleum. My gun says HVLP @29 PSI. what pressure would you recommend for the sealer and paint?

@LakesideAutobody

3 жыл бұрын

Around 20-30 psi - too much pressure and there will be excessive fumes and overspray. Too little pressure and you sense not enough paint or poor atomization. I'd say start at 25 +/- depending on how it sprays out. Let me know how it goes for you :)

Question for ya...I pulled my Monte's engine...now I am grinding and sanding and everything else to my engine compartment. Can I use my regular primer, a few coats, then regular base and clear? Gloss black is the result I'm looking for. Appreciate ya man.

I have a 84 K10 that needs paint and what you were able to achieve is plenty good for my purpose. I've got two questions; what is the timing between the coats, and would this work with flat finish paint? Thank you!

@LakesideAutobody

9 ай бұрын

Yes it would work fine with the satin or flat rustoleum - here's a video on that - kzread.info/dash/bejne/hoNnm7iNk8W0fdI.html Time between coats depends on the temperature you are painting in. Hot weather 70+ about 1/2 between coats. Colder temps and you'll need and hour - rustoleum dries pretty slow. Basically when any spray paint is dry or tacky dry you're ready for another coat. You just don't want to throw another coat over wet paint as it will likely run.

Lovely job, what was the drying time between coats and end drying time?

@LakesideAutobody

3 жыл бұрын

1/2 hour between coats or until tacky - it depend on the temperature too. The next day it was dry but still had to be careful - with hardener dry times and re coat times are shorter and the durability of the paint is increased. www.amazon.com/Valspar-4625-Enamel-Hardener-oz/dp/B000LNY1MY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
