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".

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.

Getting ready to paint my 89 Dodge Dakota. You vids really help. Keep up the great knowledge sharing!! Kudos my friend!!

Gonna have to try that rustoleum on my Elco. Probably next summer though. Wish I had shop like yours bro. Great footage. Great work. Always look forward to your videos. I gotta say as I work on my car I always go to youtube to learn. Your teachin me alot bro. I rely on a few channels here on the tube & yours is one of them. Stay up GT! THANK YOU!

Nice job with foldable paint keep the good work and content coming 👌 👍 😀 👏

I truly am impressed with your attention to detail. Well done. Peace and prayers

This looks dope boss! I'm glad you went with the gloss black. It pulls it together. Even before a cut and buff this is looking shiny!

My brother used to paint he's cars with rustoleum only. If done right they look awesome. Looks great man.👍🏻

Good information and detail mate, good to know from a novices perspective... Cheers from London England 👍

Going to paint my hood, roof, and trunk with that same paint. Great job Man! That really looks nice!! ✌

Your work speaks volumes!!! Great job. 🧐🌲👍

That is awesome. When it gets cut and polished, it's going to be spectacular. ¡Saludos desde Costa Rica!

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.

Buen trabajo bro 👍 keep doing it estoy loco por verlo ya terminado

Looking good! I don't think anyone will believe this was rustoleum paint after it is finished.

Nice work... and groovy music.

Definitely a good idea to go with the Gloss black. Looks good man

I really liked the music choice for watching you paint this.

Keep it rolling...saving cash!!

fantastic job mate loved the video and music ,blessed .

Hey GT. That is looking killer so far. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍

You remind me if my friend Sergio Vidrio. He was first my employee many years ago. He became one of my best friends honest as the day is long and a hard worker.

Good job keeping it simple and a good three coats gives cut depth for wet and clear and desert sunfor two weeks looks like a pro

Bro keep up the great work! It looks clean, nice setup too!!!

I like this guy he’s honest and nice and took his time to film and edit a video for us to learn 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came out great with them 6 coats!! Looks awesome bro

Damn man that looks good, I bought a can of that jet black Duplicolor today but I’m going to take that shit back and buy the rustoleum.

Dude it looks great you just gave me an idea for my pickup truck.

Many people don't know rustolem has. Been making paint formeny years,,prep and being able to lay it down gives you a quality job,,,,you got the touchbtother

Very impressive. I'm going to try it on my 55 chevy. It will look better, and not break the bank! Thanks.

That had me in a trance, you’re talented man

Excellent job and we have the key to success, I have painted two cars with rattle can rustoleum and nobody can tell. My part 4 of 5 series shows my technique using rattle can.

Great work looks great

Looks awesome 🤙🏼

Looks good maybe do the whole car in gloss black

Who needs bondo. When 32 coats of paint is just as good.

Man, that looks awesome! Good job!

Saludos yo también soy de Puerto rico sería buena idea la del amigo 😃. Pero tengo que decirte que se ve brutal el carrito me gusta 👍🔥🔥👊.

Very impressive work. Thanks for sharing. Saludos.

Rustoleum acrylic lacquer spraycan is one of the best out of the can spraypaints out there for full gloss .. Hichem paints are also near identical to Rustoleum just diffrent labelling

Awesome effort 👌🏽 . Give LVLP SPRAY Guns a try 1.3 or 1.2 mm tip. It levels out more and it suits for a small compressor.much less overspray ,more paint on the job 🙂👍🏽

Looking good bro. Greetings from Oklahoma

Easy to use for beginners and very good durability nothing like old classic enamel

Looks good fella keep up the great content enjoy your work

Nice video. Now i know what to do with my car. Thanks ! 😊

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 !

Excellente buddy.. Love it, even though you didn't fix little dents. 100% better..

Great job! Looks awesome

A master at work Very nice job

lookin good man👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Good job like you said it is an old car no car is perfect but for sure it does look better then it did before.

I used white rustoleum on my 99 dodge, it matches perfectly, and its better paint, looks good too.

Hey man I did a 97 Dodge ram truck with rustolium maroon painted it let it set for 3 days wet sanded it with 800 grit sprayed it with clear coat looks like a 5000 paint job great video 👍

You've got skills sir that looks great

Looks AWSOME!

How long do you let it fully dry? I know the rattle can version of Rustoleum takes a long time. Thanks.

Your technique is perfect!

Very nice paint job, I painted my sprinter van silver Rustoleum paint and flat black 3 years ago, but after 1 year paint lose it’s luster and looked faded, question do you use clear coat on top of paint or no

Looking good

Are there properties of Rustoleum paint other than cost that have benefits over other types and brands such as durability? Does clearcoat stick better when applied etc. Thanks

I painted my 2003 Chevy van four years ago with white rustoleum. I’m doing it again. This time in acrylic urethane single stage. The rustoleum looked great and if your not going to hang on to the car go for it

I think you do a great job brother, I like doing it to keep up the good work God Bless

How long do you let a coat dry before spraying again? Also how long do you let it dry before adding clear coat?

Shes looking damn good brother that combo works great together

Question: Do you not need to add clear to this paint? I want to paint my custom truck bed and I’m using PW7 paint to match and bought Diamond clear. Just not sure if I need to add clear or not.

What do you use for wax and grease remover?? Thanks for the videos

So from what I am seeing you lay the paint down a good amount on your first coat and then lighten up the more you go?

Awesome job I'm watching as many videos on rustoleum as I can to do my transporter T4 next year,far to cold and wet now in the uk , would you say the mix off 2-1 is better than 3-1

Hey man.... looks good

Hey Man. I'm painting my boat with same paint. Do I need any hardener? Weather here is 90 degrees. Also what clear coat you recommend for Rust oleum paint? I'm using a spray gun.

hey man, im liking the paint job. im gonna do the same with my BRZ. i wanted to know what's all that you put in the spray gun? was it just the gloss black paint or was there something else add in the spray gun? thanks

Just did my roof gloss black and got some dust what do u recommend using to get it off, tried a tack rag but it scratched it

Looks good

Looks good brother,keep up the good works.

For the second coat, how long did you wait between the first coat and starting the second. You also said for the second coat you would put it on a little wet. What does that mean. Im about to start tomorrow for first time

Looks really good man!!!!

Te quedo perron un buen trabajo 👍

Those were more than 10 coats.😂🤣 Thanks for the video. 👍🏿

Tape skills are dope!

Looks great

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.

I bought one of those kobalt guns but have been nervous to use it. Seems like you do just fine with it.

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.

🇨🇦👍 Licorice All-sorts!

Awesome last year during the pandemic i did my 89 mustang gt the same way.

Really nice job sir

Awesome job bro.im doing my cts4 this weekend same paint but semi gloss.one question ..should I use a enamel hardner.....how long did it take for your roof to dry

Wow that came out nice !

It's so satisfying

Looks great! What are you using to keep water from compressor mixing with your paint? Please show what you have and the model number of your paint gun.🙏🏻

I’ve been watching your channel for a while and you have a lot of really good information. If you’re spraying rust oleum out of a spray can, how long should you wait and let it dry before you spray it with clearcoat? Thinking a rattle canning my truck.

That's a nice shop.

Sweet work homie 💯

Does it cause any orange peel once you're done spraying the paint on?

Nice job bro im about to do this with tremclad mix to do you add hardener or japan dryer

It came out great

Hey bro how long does that rustoleum paint take to dry after three coats

@Gt performance I used the same acetone restulm paint but I did 3:1 I let it dry a week I sand buff it looks nasty it’s all haze white all over can u tell me what did ido wrong and this was on hood

Ficou maravilhoso , Belo trabalho Parabéns.

what would be the ratio of hardener if you want to use some?
