Love seeing people put the time and effort into the older 90s box style trucks regardless of its a Ford, Chevy or dodge. I find it a bit cooler when it’s a old school restoration paint project in the backyard! Awesome job for what you had going on considering it was a outside but it still came out pretty great for what it’s worth. Hopefully she gives you a couple more solid years!
The coolest thing is you did something some of us would never attempt. Your final product looks awesome man👍👏
Screw the haters young man you did good. You have motivation and you projects will continues to get better.
Good job, the prep work is what everyone hates, but it's what makes or breaks any paint job.

FYI - Valspar makes a product called Anti Rust Armor that is very similar to Rust-oleum, but the Valspar paint can be tinted any color you want, just like normal paint. You're not stuck with the stock colors Rust-oleum makes. I used it to paint a trailer, and matched the color to my truck. Worked great. It used to be at Lowe's, but they recently (May '23) discontinued it. You can probably find it at a paint store that sells Valspar.
I'm more excited that you have the inline six than it being clean of rust

I'm in California and there is way too much rust on that truck. ;-) I grew up in Michigan and I have welded bits of support back on when the frame rusted through or zip screwed some plywood on to keep the water from splashing into holes in the interior. Climate makes a huge difference in the life of your car. There are still disadvantages though, I do overheat my engines on older cars running the A/C while going up hill, just have to deal with the 100F california heat when that happens.

Considering what cash you invested, and doing the work outdoors, your result is nothing short of splendid! I never considered using Rustoleum as a vehicle top coat! It makes sense, as their enamel is a really tough coating once it dries well. Sounds like the "go to" paint on your other projects, and it will stop the surface rust! WELL DONE!
Great job I did the same thing to my 89 f150 machine grey with a roller and still turned out great
Fantastic job! I'm impressed! My son painted his Chevy with that roll on black truck bed liner paint stuff, I wasnt to positive about it at first but after he got started it was so easy, and looks great!! New head lights and chrome it looks great! I had a Ford just like this one and had flashbacks when you opened the door to show the interior!😜😂😊
Great low cost paint job for your daily driver, Love the 4.9 big 6 I had a 1976, 3 on tree, was 5 years old 30,000 miles on IT when I bought it,kept it 14 years motor was still running perfect when I sold it .

That’s such a good job. Damn man for $128 too. Love that body style too.
That came out fantastic. She’s a good looking truck. I’d be proud to drive her!
The paint job turned out to looking really nice for the kind of paint used. The back seat area looked like it was hardly used and the rest of the interior is immaculate for a 30 year old truck. Coming from Texas, depending on the part of the state as well can also guarantee little to no rust, so this was a good little investment.
I'd be proud to drive that truck! Great looking paint job! Thanks for sharing.
Good job I have a 1994 F150 ready for your handy work. You made it look easy enough for me to try it myself. Good job and keep up the good work.
Nice job! I use rustoleum a lot. Wait a couple weeks for it to fully cure (ask me how I know), then wet sand and buff, and it will look like you clear coated it. If you keep wax on it, the paint will look new forever, if you don't, it starts fading and discoloring pretty quick compared to urethane paint.
This was fun to watch and you did a great job for what you had to work with and you gave the truck some life back.
Nice work. I had the 300 in my first pickup. 92 F150 XL 2wd. emerald green metallic. Great truck. Great motor. One Bosch oxygen sensor. If your gas mileage is around 13 mpg, change the O2 sensor. It will go right back up to 17 mpg. Looking forward to my next truck. It will be white and light blue two tone. Someday...
I’d like to see it with the new headlights and definitely more videos from you going forward!

Working on finishing up a 87 F150 and using Rustoleum with hardener but using acetone for my thinner. Also using the HF gun that I got on sale for $10. Wish mine was as un-rusty as yours. Got to love panel replacement on rust belt trucks. Yours looks pretty good.
Awesome job, i like that body style of truck.

Those guns spray good for a few times but they are made from cheap parts so after a few jobs and cleaning they become garbage. Plus cheap guns use more materials. If you are doing something like this they are great but if you are doing it for a living then invest in a good gun is worth it in the long run. They atomize the paint better allowing better coverage so you use less which saves money. Plus they are made from better parts so with proper cleaning they will spray the same for years
Looks pretty good. I want to do the same with my '96 F-150. Just have to finish a few other projects first.
Good job! I have a 91 f250 that I need to do this too. You gotta love white. It hides a lot of imperfections. Looks great!
It really does come out good! I did 2 trucks now and there still holding up!
Its good to know, that still people out there that have love for those old model trucks,,by the way nice job man, God bless

That’s a perfect truck. When I did mine on the channel it took me about 3-4 hours. I’m jealous of your extended cab.
I'd like to see it with the new lights and all the details finished out. Good job!
I used to paint bikes with custom jobs using spray can paint , extract the paint into Mason jars , let it breath for a day to expel out the propellents , mixed custom colors , metallics , chameleon , etc . used an inexpensive shop gun or an old Devilbliss , and it played down beautifully !! That was over 15 years ago . and those jobs are still showroom today !! 😎
Very nice! I don't know what I expected, but you did a damn good job!
Nice job! A cheap Rustoleum paint job, applied outdoors, won't make your old truck look like a new vehicle that just rolled off the showroom floor, but it will make your 1990 truck look like a really nice 1990 truck. You will also avoid the "second look" from every cop that you pass. Mission accomplished!

Had my 87 f150 painted with equipment white. Used it for a work trunk anyway.
hell yeah, turned out great, nice work!
Awesome results! Painting outdoors is risky but in some climates it works, obviously it works in your area. Funny car painting story - in the mid-50s a neighbors wife wanted her car painted to match her favorite bright red nail polish. She ranted about it for years. Her husband finally said 'if I do it will you finally stop nagging me about it?'. She agreed. He actually bought hundreds of bottles of her fav color nail polish and stood in their front yard using the tiny brush in the lid to apply nail polish on her car hood - during the peak of Georgia's pollen season! It was a nasty mess and she became irate. He was an attorney so they had both signed an agreement. The agreement did not mention conditions that might negatively impact the end product. That huge Cadillac had a great engine, it was an awesome beast that lasted almost 2 decades with a bright red hood and bright green everywhere else. Note to self: be careful what you ask for!
Gorgeous can't beat it!

Hiya Griff, the truck looks great - way back i bought a fleet of small vans, gave each ones a rubbing down, masked up and sprayed them with house paint, Brilliant white gloss as it was the cheapest, but added a small touch of black or blue just to give it a hint of colour, mixed it with cheap grade petrol (gas) mixed well and sprayed it on, and like yours just ended up shiny.. My neighbour saw a van for sale, it got sold, i done another so neighbour asked - Why did it come back / nooo was just another for sale then another, all looking the same.. LOL. you have to do what you have to do eh.. great Video Thank you - Ian - UK.

All in All it looks great. I have a HVLP Cap Sprayer. It runs off 15-20 psi pressure. The abbreviation is High Volume, Low Pressure. Try turning the air pressure down a few notches to control the overspray. But heck for a $15 Harbour Freight gun you certainly got 'er done! I had a '95 F150 with dual fuel tanks like yours. I never could figure out why Ford put 2, 12gal fuel cells? It would've been nice to have a 24 gal plus the 12 for emergencies. Anyway good job, your attention to detail and the way you plotted the job out are commendable!

Wow good job! And great budget!
Slapper spoon would have helped ease that crease out. The hood has pins on top of the perimeter of the core support that adjust up and down to lift the front into alignment w/ the fender. All in all, its way better than it was and not prone to go to rust from under the primer. She'll hold up nicely for as long as you need her. A farm truck is born.

Just a plain hammer and block to flatten the crease out. I've even used a hammer and the plastic handle of a screwdriver to knock out some hard dents... But it's on a beater car.
Reminds me of my first truck. When I was in college I got bored in welding class and made my own badges with a plasma torch, then welded them to the tailgate. Wish I would have pulled them off and kept them.
Look like a whole new truck 🔥
