Just a FYI, when using Rustoleum paint you must/should use a catalyst. Yes you can buy and use a catalyst for almost any plain oil base paint. The 2 reasons are because the paint has NO UV protection in it AND the paint is weak and soft after drying...in other words the paint can easily be scratched off with a fingernail. The catalyst has the UV protection in it and the catalyst hardens the paint, plus the catalyst adds a glossier wet look to the final look if you use the Wet Look hardener. Plus the catalyst makes it safer and better to wet sand and buff. Most automotive paint stores sell the catalyst. It'l be around 40-50 bucks extra but well worth it. Oh, and the catalyst will keep the paint job lasting a lot longer. I've painted a lot of cars with it and it will last as long as a $200-$500 paint. Plus, you can use lacquer thinner to thin the paint instead of acetone if you want. Most paint is dumb. Acetone helps the paint kick faster. Never use paint thinner/mineral spirits...all you're doing is adding oil, runs, and a lot longer drying time plus it weakens the paint. If you're painting black Rustoleum don't paint over grey primer...use black primer. Rustoleum is slightly transparent and if you paint black over grey primer the black will turn to Mud-looking in any sunlight and look like crap. No matter how many coats you put on it. edit: If you don't have a good spray booth throw some water all around the car on the floor if you want a lot less dust particles floating around and landing on your paint. No such thing as too much water...but not enough won't help you. It really makes a big difference. Paint early in the morning to help avoid bugs because bugs are not flying around yet when it's cold out. Never paint at night because bugs will attract to your lights. Just my experience and .02. Oops another FYI lol...I personally DO NOT USE any kind of liquid grease/oil remover (spray and wipe) on the project before painting. I know the pro's always say to use it but don't. All that shit is, is just another way for them to make more money, plus if it is not done exactly right it can make your new paint wrinkle. What I do is this: On final sanding I make sure I never touch the surface with my skin or hands/fingers (because all of us have oils in our skin). Then I turn on the fan (the one that sucks out dust) and wipe down the entire project with a clean white cotton like a T-shirt and while I'm wiping I'm also blowing with an air nozzle at the same time. Then I wait a few minutes and come back and wipe the entire project down again with a clean tack cloth making sure I have rubber/latex etc. gloves on. Wait a few minutes (while the fan is sucking more dust out) and right before I paint (the paint is already mixed and in the gun) I wipe it down one more time with another clean tack cloth. I use the cheap hardware store tack clothes. The water is already on the floor (make sure you don't splash ANY water on the project surface!) Water will cause fish-eyes and all kinds of problems so be careful. by doing all this you are actually saving yourself a lot of work later...less wet sanding and buffing and if you're lucky NO wet sanding and buffing...maybe just buffing! My quote is this: "if you slow down and have patience you'll get done faster".

Acetone also levels the paint better. Since it evaporates, large looking orange peel dries much flatter than it looks when first sprayed. An axalta rep told me to always cut up to 5% in urethanes for a better bond and flatter finish. Enamels you can go up to 50% given how thick it is out of the can and how much pigment is in the paint. After doing so I'm sold and will always use acetone. Especially after a few fish eye paint jobs from solvent separation due to solvent separating from the paint taking to long long to dry.

Hi, I’ve got some questions for you. We currently prep and paint our trailer frames with a marine epoxy from Proline. It’s a primer then paint. It cost a lot! We’re looking to try something else but not sacrifice quality. Do you think this would be a good option? I’d love to hear your input on the subject. The trailer will be in the sun and put into water. Anything that’ll help or suggestions I’d appreciate very much. We mainly use black and white. Thanks!!!

@@RaceMentally I'm sure you're asking GT's...but IMO it's the prep (sanding, cleaning the metal surface) and the sealer/primer one uses that's the key...more important than the paint...plus making sure the sealer/primer is compatible with the paint used. Some paints will just sit on top of the primer and not "meld" into each other and that's why we see easy chips and scratches. Just my .02

I sprayed some Rust-Oleum last week, dark blue blended with white to make Richard Petty blue. Used acetone as thinner. Looks great, not sure what would happen to the paint if I mixed in a hardner like the MARSON WET LOOK? I sure miss Dupont Centari acrylic enamel was great paint.

Don't forget, you can use a standard enamel hardener in the paint. It really helps with the quality of the cut and buff. I've personally used the PPG hardener with Rust-Oleum black and it really toughens up the paint.

Beautiful job! Not sure why so many are surprised or astounded at painting vehicles with Rustoleum, many truck and several car models for years were painted with single-stage enamel. It wasn't until the mid/late 60's that paints started getting fancier.

Nice ! I've had good luck with rust-oleum . Thinning with acetone is the way to go . Don't know if you've tried valspar oil enamel hardener , it increases hardness and gloss . Tractor supply sells their own brand of hardener , it's the same stuff . Keep the great videos coming !

Yeah right...I'm sure the bodywork it top notch too.

Homes my 2 cents, thin your paint a bit more, like even a 1:1 so you'll have a bigger fan helps avoid the dry spot in the center of the roof, uses a touch less paint and a better/higher gloss reading. Also watch your speed and don't do that super quick go over thing you keep doing, it'll fog your final paint and cause more sanding.

Spray the inside of the trunk while you have it apart, semi gloss black. Will make it look like a very well taken car. You do very nice work. You have a good rhythm to your painting, and seem very patient.

Hey man.... looks good

I just cant bring myself to paint over a dent especialy when I have the knowledge and means to fix it. For me it would be like running a marathon race that is 24miles and then giving up a half mile from the finish line. 98% if u will. If Im gunna go through all that work to sand and paint the roof I would rather fix that small dent than explain to people why I painted over it. All that being said ....you did a great job it looks amazing.
