I highly encourage everyone to go thoroughly read through the comments and replies in the original Short Edit video. So many great stories and experienced tips! Video is linked in comments or at the end of this video. Thanks, everyone, for a great year of community on The Joy of Fixing. ❤

Instant thumbs up because you actually interact with the audience and your painting project is actually affordable for a cheap daily driver ~person/cargo hauler 😊 The cost of maintenance for the timing belt, water pump, valve adjustment and new plugs is more than the paint job RiP Honda Van 😢

Thanks for a great video. Very timely. About to start painting about twelve (round tube) pasture fences. It's tricky painting round stuff . Hope this works as good as your project did. Getting tired of painting fences over and over.

Funny to see this video today. I'm actually rolling my truck today. Been prepping for two days . Lots of sanding. Thank you. This van video was my inspiration.

Just painted my girlfriend's old car using all of your "tips and tricks". The car runs great, but not worth an expensive paint job. It came out beautiful. I did not thin the paint; it rolled out just fine without thinning. I did do 2 days worth of prep and final sanded the whole car with 400 grit wet sandpaper. Thanks for the video series!! Hope you feel better soon.

You're going to work , errands and events . As long as you are not taking it to the car show. Life is a journey. 😊

One of the best things about this is you didn't throw away 25 spray cans!

Wow😮wow that’s amazing, happy to know y’all walked away from that and are safe

😢I’m sad ol blue is gone…BUT! I’m loving your videos!!!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!!!

hope you're feeling better man! great update. ive painted a few cars with this method, along with rattle cans, and also monster liner (look it up if you haven't heard of that... great stuff!) im a small one man shop up here in nd, after about 9 years as a Toyota dealer tech, im thinking of using this farm paint on my old mountaineer, its super clean and almost completely rust free,(brought up from Utah) two Little Rock chips bubbled a bit and its time to redo it all, the paint is cooked.... ive always used a 2 part like, spraymax 2k clear over my rust oleum paints because they fade with uv....but im kinda thinking with the farm paint I wouldn't have too, give it a good buff and wax and call it a day!

My 99 Jeep Cherokee was painted with white rustoleum 5 years ago and it still looks fine. It's a jeep so it didn't need to look pretty. I use 303 protectant on the entire jeep every 6 months and it keeps it clean. Most times I can wipe it down with a dry microfiber cloth to clean.

Best your health brother 😊

I recently did this on a loader for my tractor. A learned a few things I thought I’d share. -these paints settle on the shelves quickly. When you buy it, ask for it to be shaken. Stir it again when you get ready to paint. -expect to throw out the roller tray and roller. This stuff doesn’t come out easy so get the cheap disposable liners. - tractor paint will fade over time. You can polish it back with cutting compound though. Tractor dealers stock the same colors at a similar price, a gallon of rustoleum is about 70 anymore and dealer paint is about 100-110. A little pricier, but the color retention is miles ahead. -Some people like to add a hardener, if you do then you really need to do it outside and while wearing a good respirator. It can destroy your lungs very quickly. -I found that I could roll on a coat of primer, sand it with 120 to smooth out any edges, and then go over with a color coat and it would hide defects better that way.

RIP pretty blue van. I’m glad everyone is okay

i like your musical choice too.

Pan the Organizer on KZfaq covers a lot of car detailing work. Penetrol Flood is also good as a cheap $10 clear coat (don't let moisture condensate on it before it dries or it will show wipe marks that become white and opaque). I then use Turtle Wax (ceramic) Hybrid Solutions Pro Flex Wax, Graphene Spray Wax that only needs two sprays per panel. The non-graphene version was tested on Project Farm for chemicals and durability. The graphene will give UV protection for the Penetrol, let alone the benefits of a ceramic coat. It's so nice to paint or clear coat without spray cans, compressor, or severely toxic fumes. Ceramics work on everything including plastic, glass, chrome toasters, etc. It's so easy to deal with snow and ice once you get the ceramic coat on. It sprays on and wipes off even easier than wax and lasts a lot longer. Thanks for using the Farm & Implement paint. I've always wondered how well a tractor paint would apply or hold up on a car. That was a nice color. I expected it to be red or green, which are the only colors I've seen. :P

Just saw your short version of the original van repaint. Was cool to see the 1-year update (other than the wrecked condition, of course). I like the new truck and, of course, I want to ask whether you're going to repaint it in similar fashion. Anyway, new to your channel and figured i'd give it some up-thumb and comment love. Cheers!

Always look on the bright side of life.

Painted my diy party bus black and it looks great, people don’t think I painted , especially with a 4” roller

How long did it take to dry?? I did the lower rockers on my truck and it’s still tacky to the touch after 24 hours. It doesn’t come off on my finger or anything, but it’s still tacky.

About to roll paint my frame, any regrets on not priming first? I dont wanna prime and then paint 🤣

What kind of wax do you used to keep it looking good?

I like the quality of your videos. You do a great job filming and editing. Do you do it through your phone (what kind) or? How do you edit, use a lap to or? editing software type? How do you get it (transmit) from recording device (phone?) to editing device? I never did it, so have basic questions.

Fun report. Get better. ❤ Dad

What is a comparable paint to the Rust oleum? I live in CA and can't buy it here. Any suggestions?

I am about to do it to my 4 runner. You can’t buy Rust-Oleum farm and implement or have delivered to store in California. I bought on eBay from China and is in the mail. I have a few question. Do you think it would benefit tho not necessary to add a small amount of hardener ? I want to go all out on this cheap paint job for can’t see myself spending for professional job when I do go off-road with it. Would it benefit me to use thinner and do more coats. I have black car and painting black. I want to do the best job possible and won’t be in a hurry to get vehicle on the road.

Looks like it held up perfect. What is your opinion on the Rust-Oleum professional?

Did you keep the van in a garage or was it out in the elements for the last year. Good job.

Did someone buy the van to repair it or did it get crushed at the junkyard?

Have a great night!

My Van is 20 years old and I was wondering what colors are available for this paint? I want to paint it something that stands out from the sea of boring white vans. Also would I (a no talent wonder) be able to stencil on this paint with other colors?

I just did 2 coats of White paint and keep getting streaks. Any help?

White SUVs had a hit out on that man lol

🇺🇸👍 Bottom Line a car, truck, what ever is to get from point A to point B Safely. So if mechanical and physical are good, what’s left is visual and that falls under Pride, but unless you live in the sticks and don’t go far you can’t have anything nice. I have in my life (69 years) have bought 3 brand new vehicles all 3 within 1 year have been hit by careless drivers the last happening last week $10,000 in damage and it’s only 6 months old. My 68,74,75,76,77, and 80 they run drive but don’t get hit they all need paint but why ? So they look and I feel better about them yes, but that cell phone talking or distracted person is waiting to get you. So the do paint is a great answer and no matter how it turns out it’s one color. At least for awhile because they are waiting to get you no matter how defensive you drive. Sorry about your Van it did turn out to be a good 20 footer. 👍

To bad you couldn't fix the van. It looked good with that paint

Such a disappointment for the accident after all that work and great results.

A good brush and roller paint job is better than a shitty spray job .

Do you have long covid? I've felt like HELL ever since I got it the first time. Vitamins, staying hydrated, and decent nutrition are the only things that help me. Hope you get well.

Has anyone made the required comment about _"Why worry about Flotrol? I just get my wife and her friends to sit/lean on the fenders/hood/trunk/roof and I get a nice, consistent orange-peel texture all over."_ ? If not, I'll tell my friend to make that comment.
