Thank you! Means a lot! Ya we still try to do it properly even if it's a cheaper paint and we aren't fixing every tiny defect. Thanks for the sub and hope yo like our other videos so far. We are trying to upload every Friday

@@RustedRides Nice. I found the perfect channel then. Paint jobs are expensive especially on big cars like my Station Wagon. So I'm going to do it myself. Bought all the tools just looking for all the info and tips I can find. Luckily I have some spare parts and a Silverado to practice on before doing the one that matters.

Thus MACO is no better than a home garage weekend paint job

That's almost the color of blue that I want to paint my faded aquamarine 1996 Corolla wagon 👍☺️ Good job 👏✌️

Yes they did well but this is not 300 dollar paint job this is minimum of 800+ including all material, salary for time and also some profit for company

Thanks! Ya, it really is the better way. We didn't do door jambs, but I wasn't concerned with that as this is my daily that I will run till it's dead. Thanks for watching/commenting!

Lała..aa.a.a.a.a hello yellow mango. I’m on the back back back on the game. He comes back tomorrow.

I’m going to my birthday my job tomorrow why you make a way black man goes wrong please yellow blue red

Yeah the problem is the hours required to do that it's no longer $300 paint job at any garage

Just need a hat and a beard!

It looks Smurfing awesome!

Richard Petty would be proud as well. Maybe you could put #no 43 on the car!

Wow, thirty years! Well thank you, that means a lot from someone with your experience. I hope we continue to improve with both the paint and the videos!

Ah hey neighbour! Thank you very much, and for the firefighter comment too. I enjoy it and am happy to be part of a good group of people at my hall.

Ya you are probably right, don't want it looking to busy aesthetically

​@@RustedRides yes you dont want it to look like a ghetto cruiser.. keep it mild

Thank you very much. Ya we like working on stuff and like watching KZfaq car content so we decided to start making our own. Really happy people like it and wish we could upload more, but we work and have to do this on our free time. Really appreciate you watching and thank you for all the comments!

Haha thank you! ...ok now I have to go back and watch the video to see what wheel is on the wall

My thoughts exactly a gallon of cheap single stage would accomplish the same or better result

@@humanbeans7952 Spend an extra hundred or two for automotive paint if your gonna go through all that trouble. It'll hold up better, you could park it outside no problem, and get better resale value down the road. What is cheap isn't always cheapest in the end.

wouldn't the easiest be to use Tremclad Clear coat? That way it would all be the same system.

Ya I'm really happy with mine, and that's awabout the 2024 corolla! They look really cool!

I almost bought a Vibe, but found a low mileage Escort instead, in dark magenta so I won't have to paint it. I think your blue is a bit too pale for my taste, and also think your current black wheels are better than any of the colors you mentioned, though I like bright colors including on wheels, so matching blue? purple? orange? green? magenta? I also have a white Dodge pickup that I may be painting. Purple and yellow? The white is so bland. I was inspired when a friend bought a primer Metro with purple window tint, and painted it yellow.

Hard not to be a fan. There was a short period where you could buy decent vibes for 800-1000. Super cheap Toyota

Thanks, ya that is what we have found works for us, but I'm sure people have had good results using other methods. We are happy with this though

Thank very much for that comment! Any cars you messed around with that you wish you still had?

Ya, we'll have to do an update video at some point. We can also show some of the other trucks we did like this

I would love to see the other vehicles sprayed in a similar manner. I bet the Rustoleum holds up pretty well.

I did this with the Fire Red he showed early on. I used paint thinner to make it spray well then did clear. 6 years later, it's completely failed. Flaked off starting within 2 years of sunshine. I hope they have better luck. But I was using only materials that were free to me.

They are so good and reliable! (most reliable pontiac out there haha) my in-laws have a matrix, the reliability/gas mileage is what made me look for a matrix/vibe.

Haha yes, we've all done one of those paint jobs in the past

The way I see it, most cars are dirty 90 percent of the time. So they look good up close too, until they're washed.

Hey neighbor! Ya I really do like them. Very reliable and cheap to run. I plan on keeping mine for a long time!

That's awesome! I hope this paint stands up for a long time as I hope to get more out of this car! What kind of race cars were you building/racing?

Exactly the prep work lays the foundation for the end result. Good prep will save you time and headache.

Thank you! Thank you for noticing and commenting!

Haha, That's great! My dad used to tell me about how he and his brother would work on beetles swapping things back and forth to have a good running one!

@@RustedRides they so simple it's a joy to wrench on them, they are incredible on snow, mud, off-road, and so on. Without extreme mods either

Thanks! That is s wild! Orange rims, never thought of that!

At NAPA here in the states, not sure if they in Canada, they sell spray cans that replicate cast iron. I used that on some of my firebird parts. It;s a really nice looking paint. Might look good on the rims@@RustedRides

Very true, can't go wrong with that combo! Dang this is going to be hard to decide!

​​@@RustedRidesdefinitely a bronze or copper color wheels would look great with that blue. Also of would look more sporty with the grey plastic on the bumper and side trim painted blue to match.

got my vote

Bronze!

This is the combo but also depends on the rim design. Great job and will look good whatever goes on there now.

They are great aren't they! This one has over 300k... Roughly 340k I think. With regular maintenance it feels like these will go forever!

Thank you! Ya I was thinking about doing some of that as a spring clean up and get the alloy rims I have powder coated at the same time with summer tires.

Hey! Thank you! Ya we are happy with it, it definitely make it look like a much newer car. Best of luck with the Altima! Just make sure you have fun doing it!

Thanks! That sounds cool. I'd like to see that finished product!

Thank you! Yes we didn't want to see it react that way either haha, because it can! But we have found, for us at least, that we let it set up for long enough to stick, but not react when we do the clear. We could have waited longer and done a scuff before the clear, but we wanted it done haha

Ah thank you very much! I know the sprint, very cool! Just do a test mix and test spray maybe. We mixed the full quarts and got lucky. We probably should have tested smaller amounts haha

Thanks! We'll check them out!

@@RustedRides Strange Brew isn't required viewing??

Eh' take off!!!!

@@thebanjoman1963 oh, you hoser!

I found this mouse 🐁 in one of your beer bottles and I'm here to collect a free case of beer because of that mouse . . . 🍻 🇨🇦 🏒

Hey! Thank you! Ya a few people I told were a little skeptical, and when we were mixing it I wasn't sure how it would turn out haha. But I'm very happy with it now!

Ahh thanks haha. I have never heard that about sounding like Fry haha

I almost just commented the same thing!!!

Heck and that other guy gives me Norm MacDonald vibes 😂

I was thinking it was Stimpy doing car repair video.

Rustoleum recommends Acetone as a thinner.

@@floridaroadracerguythe older cans say mineral spirits… it will off gas for a month if you do it that way.

Thank you! Turned out pretty much where I was wanting to land the the shade of blue!

I'm just learning and I've seen alot of people say how it's very important to walk the side from end to end because that whole "spraying a half panel, then spraying a half door" will cause tiger striping and unprofessional looking results. I noticed in this video they sprayed small areas rather than entire panels from side to side. Is that not a problem? Ice scoured the comments and I can't find anyone saying it here. But in every other video I watch, seems like dozens of people say that walking it all the way down is the only way to go. 🤔?

Hey, yes for sure if you have the time and want to go that bit further it would make a difference. If we let the blue cure fully we would have had to sand before the clear or it wouldn't hold up. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment!

​@inthelandofmorethansmall7582 Using solid colors, "stripes" would appear from dry spray. Metallics may end up striping by doing that AND it's a single stage paint, like the rustoleum. If it's a metallic base coat color, this won't be a problem for a moderately experienced painter. The base coat would then need to be clear coated. If you spray a true candy or pearl coat (3 stage, pearl over the base coat color before clear) you would definitely want to walk the entire vehicle. But your overlap would contribute more to striping than anything. Consistent application (speed, distance, overlap) is crucial

That's enamel it will not dry enough in between coats to wet sand

The guy talking about sanding is right about everything he mentioned and should be applied if you want a decent looking paint job. Especially wet sanding the clear then cut and buff for the final. Also an inexperienced painter should be concerned about things such as runs, proper technique and body posture and maintaining the same distance from nozzle to surface being painted and air hose control while actually trying to paint or more importantly clearing the car( you don't want to be tripping over things and hose while trying to shoot clear) also when new striping of any kind regardless of color is something to watch and for different reasons but the two likely will be improper coverage and dry streaks in either base or clear due to how you have the gun set up and how you are overlap ing each pass. Pay attention to how much air flow your gun is using to throw the paint. If the air to paint ratio is high you will get dry spots vis versa and runs become a problem. Also prep good and pro tip always before you start working and sanding use dewaxer and degreaser every where you are working people don't think about how any wax or grease present at time of sanding will just embed all that into the work area and then wondering why the clear coat is fisheyed or something. If you don't walk the entire vehicle that's fine if you just use the body lines of the car and where they break/transition into another for where you start and stop. The difference in how the light gets reflected will hide where you start stop and even doing blends. Last thing is to pull tape and paper while wet because doing after everything dries increases the chances that you'll pull some of the paint and clear off while trying to remove tape from gaskets and trim.

Nice! What car was the convertible? I might give this a cut and polish in the spring and see how that turns out!

@@RustedRides It was a '77 MGB. I mixed Rustoleum Sail blue and white 50/50 for a color just a bit lighter than you ended up with here.

Thanks! We will have a new video on the 69 charger real soon! 🤘

Thank you! Ya in person it still catches my eye even though I'm driving it and seeing it all the time!

I did a truck in 2004 with rustoleum and mineral spirits in a garage. No clear, just three coats of paint. I didn’t even have a garage, the truck lived outside in central Ohio. I scrapped it in 2013, and the paint was just starting to let rust through. It was damn tough. Semi gloss black. I still have a quart of It, going to use it on the hood of my latest project.

@@DavidB-rx3km wow, you screwed it up… somehow. Not sure how you screwed up paint with rollers. I sprayed the one I mentioned above, but I’ve rolled one with amazing results (red) and have used their paint with a brush in non automotive applications. It always resulted in a high quality high shine (unless I used flat or semigloss) rock hard finish, that stuck to the surface like stink on shit, and wore like iron. Imagine not being able to figure out how to roll paint properly.

Thank you! Means a lot

Hahahaha that's fantastic!

Right! Soo good! Been watching for years! I use a few products based on that channel alone!

Haha nice! How did the Vette turn out? Still holding up?

@@RustedRides it looked great and I posted a video on my channel also with ls swapping it but I saw it listed on marketplace and looked like the clear started to delaminate

Oh awesome! That's good to know! I'll look into that for sure!

Definitely did. It's nice to get the extra help!

Thank you! I try to put effort into the videos when I can. Sometimes I'm on more of a deadline or working with less footage. But thank you for noticing!

Hey! Thank you very much glad you like the content! Thanks for watching/commenting and for the sub. We will try and keep the content rolling!

Thank you very much! Ya I think it should have been offered on this color!

Thank you! We are trying our best to grow this channel. Hope you like the content. Let us know if there is something particular you like!

Haha, ya it is nice to have friends to help out on this stuff to help save money! Thanks for the comment !

Thank you! Means a lot!

Hey, thank you very much! There was a moment when we were mixing that I wasn't sure I was going to like it haha. Thanks for eatchiand for commenting!

Thank you very much! We are happy with how it turned out

Thank you! Ya I do like the gold idea too, man I'm awful at making decisions haha

Haha thanks! Ya don't know why it's called Tremclad up here. There are a few products that have different names up here

Oh awesome! I was just looking at an AMC up that way. Glad you like the vid, Thanks for the sub!

@@RustedRides i should have added that I find the editing and video shots to be top notch, and music selection. Very professional.

right on! ya we spend a lot of time watching car content on youtube, so many great channels, kinda why we decided to start one. Thanks for commenting/watching and thanks for the sub! Hope you like our upcoming content!

SpeedoKote makes some fantastic products at very reasonable prices. Their SMR-42 High solids clear is a bargain. I use their reducer and Acme Finish 1 hardener in my Rustoleum jobs. SPI makes the best clear but it’s quite expensive compared to SpeedoKote’s. I have several projects that I’ve painted using various products that I leave outside to test durability and yet to be disappointed

I just got a photo the other day of mine parked next to the factory blue. Very close but the oem has metallic and slightly different shade

Thank you! Got to spend some time in the UK last May. Had a great time! Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Thank you very much for that comment. That really means a lot. We do put a lot of work into these videos, and the cars, so to get a comment like that is pretty cool. Thank you!

Haha no problem! When they have stats on how many toyotas from the 2000s are still on the road today, it should include the vibe count

Haha pretty much...just without the traction haha

Thank you very much!

Thank you !

Thank you very much. I do like the idea of a matte gunmetal. I already have alloy rims, but they aren't big. The car is all about MPGs for me. I have a small lightweight rim and will put a fuel efficient tire on it. But you are right, a bigger rim would be sick!

@@RustedRides i was thinking that being in Canada and that white crap all over you need a good style snow tire.

Thank you!

Thank you very much! And thanks for watching/commenting!

Ya, we have done two trucks like this previously, but not on the channel. They are holding up so far. We might do an update on this car in the future to show how it lasts.

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

Thank you! Really happy with it!

Thank you! Ya he is great at what he does!

A friend of mine had a 90s Integra, those are fun cars!

Thank you! Ya it always takes work, but nice when it turns out and transforms the car! Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Thank you! Ya we are happy with it!

Hey, thank you, glad you found the channel and glad you like the content. We posted a 69 charger video and a chevy vega video, but no paint in those vids. Our next video will be a paint video
