that 2:1 ratio worked out great for me... primed up a big pontoon trailer and it went great... my first time doing it so thanks for the tips. Really impressed with the RustOleum primer too, I used 1/3 gallon for two coats of primer.

Love watching your painting thing happen! Your cinematography and tunes are great too! The bugs were a nice bonus! lol 👍😎

Two mysteries that astound, The science of the universe and the science of spray painting.

Thanks for the video! Excellent process and techniques shown to help others see how it's done right. Glad I found you. Will be watching many more of your vids.

Primed painted my 86 Toyota truck 10 years ago with rattle cans white from rust oleum . I just touch it up as needed looks brand new every year.

Nice job on the priming. I just watched your pain with flat black then this one. You are teaching me a lot. Thanks for sharing.👍😷

Retired from paint shop two years ago but miss doing this stuff, loved it after a couple of coats and good rub down how good it came up , nice vid thanks

YES!!!!!! Thank you for this! Great how to! You covered this very well!

Came out looking good homie cant wait for the next videos

I used this primer on a set of rims for my '56 Beetle and then painted Rustoleum Sand Beige on top with a spray can clear coat. They came out great. I wasn't sure how the dark brown would affect the final color of the lighter beige but I rally think it made it "pop" out even more. Great product. Keep the vids coming bro!

Nice! Makes me miss my 64 BigWindow. Keep em coming bro.

It's only primer? It's more that. This gentlemen that's doing the work and spraying, TAKES PRIDE IN THE WORK. If the priming and body work came like he's showing Us, than the finish paint job will come out looking great as well. That's pride at its best !!! I can't wait for the finished vehicle. Outstanding job!!! 🤓👍 A++++ work ethic!

I really enjoy watching your work man!!! Keep up the good work!!! God bless...

Look into Rustoleum's Hunter Green for that truck. My uncle had an old 55 Ford truck with that color and it looked great! A lot easier and less expensive than trying 2 stage paint. Great work!

I like how it hides a lot of the imperfections. Looks cool and that color actually is growing on me. 🙌🏼

You make everything so simple and peaceful without stress thank you for you’re hard work

Primer makes everything look better... lol....keep up the good work

Thanks for sharing. Fantastic info. I will eventually be using RUSTOLEUM to paint a very 'rough' 1940 Dodge pickup. Bad metal. Simply want it 'flat black' or brown PRIMER. You helped a LOT !!! Thanks from Canada !!!

That layed down better than I thought it would. Nice

I’m going to subscribe because I have watched like 80 videos trying to figure out a decent mixture ratio to use with the rustoleum and you say it within the first couple minutes. Instead of making some 30 minute long video that never really says how to mix or what ratio to use Thank you!!!

This summer 2024 I'm taking my jeep XJ to this primer color and slapping clear coat over top of it. This video made it look so easy

I don't restore cars but your video was very informative for a beginner using an air sprayer. I rehab old metal carts, cosco stools and any other mid century treasures i can find.

awesome sir looking forward to the next video

Nice job. Keep it up

Good video bro, hey you should do a review on your compressor. Nothing on KZfaq especially for painting. Been looking into getting one.

Subbed. It's satisfying to see old metal getting fresh paint How do you like that compressor? How well does it keep up with the gun? thanks

that primer holds back rust really good. The only thing to know is you need to let it dry for a very long time like about a month then recoat the primer with urethane primer before putting on automotive paint. If you dont do that you may have problems with fisheyes or wrinkling of the automotive paint.

The rusty metal primer works. I can vouch for it.

Thanks for the video I'm going to be painting my engine bay and this helps a lot. Question though how long should I let the primer dry before I spray the color?

I really like the way u added sound effects when u mixed and poured the paint. Lol. Nice vid bro. That primer color goes with the truck.

Great job man!!

In this day and time Rustoleum is about the only affordable paint anymore. Some of us can't afford to spend a hundred dollars for a gallon of automotive primer just for a daily driver.

It did work, I brushed mine on, no dilution, per the can’s instructions. Lil tough yet effective at n rust!!!

Looks good bud.

Great job! I have used rustoleom oaint on my truck. The only thing that bothers me is the sound of an oil less compresser. Thanks for the video.❤

What about an in-line dryer to dry the compressor air and filter oil out. What pressure are you regulating it to.

Nice job. My only comment would be you might have gone a bit heavy on the first primer coat. The first coat needs some restraint and should really only be a very light mist - what they call a tack coat. After 7 min or so you can do a little heavier second coat.

Parked at rest area @ Salado, Tx. Was about to leave then I noticed you just posted a video so had to watch it first. 👍

Got to love not having rusted out bolts on fenders makes a job soooooo much easier

💡thanks for the entertainment and knowledge

Could you post an update how well this primer held up over time. Did rust return? Thank you.

Nice video i feel like once metal gets rusty it’s never the same again no matter how clean it looks. Rusty metal primer probably is a good idea if rustoleum makes it you’d think it’d be something they do right. Never tried rustoleum in the regular cans but as far as the spray cans the rustoleum regular primer and filler primer spray cans from Home Depot worked surprisingly well for me and only $7 and 9$ each. The filler primer dries instantly pretty much and took metallic sherwin Williams atx auto paint really well and really stuck to the metal underneath compared to some Upol primer that chipped off easily. The regular rustoleum primer was good too just needs to dry for at least 2 days.

why wouldnt you do the entire rear of the panels for preventing rust from coming thru from backside?

did you use a hardener? most people say the rustoleoum reacts with a normal top coat automotive paint.

Im about to primer my project car. Using resto tractor primer, do i only need to reduce to make it sprayable? Or do i need to reduce it and add hardner?

Is this stuff considered sealer primer? Would like to prime my truck with it to stop it from rusting and then paint it in the future.

If you use an airless/electric sprayer like a graco 390pc you don’t have to cut it at all. I’ve sprayed tons of different paint only thing I’ve ever done is add water on top to keep some from drying in the bucket as I spray.

I'm planning on painting a horse trailer Rust-Oleum Almond Beige. Should I use this primer even though it's so dark?

Will you spray Rustoleum color over that primer? I think that when you put down that primer, your top coat options become limited. That's the issue I ran into.

Nice!! What size air compressor you are using?

Thank you for this video bro

What size air compressor and brand, also oil or non oil are you using?

Does white Rustoleum paint cover that color primer good, without making the white look darker?

Hey GT. IS IT NECESSARY TO PRIME WHEN USING RUSTOLEUM PAINT? THANKS FOR SHARING.🍁👍👍

Can this be brushed/rolled on right out of the can? No hardner or anything is needed?

Being that no bodywork was done, no dents pulled or filled, etc, I would argue that after the sanding it would look really good with just a satin UV clearcoat and nothing else. Also, why use the red rusty metal primer and not just the Rustoleum white metal primer since this metal looks really clean?

Why did you use a 2:1 ratio when the instructions on the directions say to add 15% acetone for spraying?

Do you use the same ratio for regular rustoleum paint?

Nice work

This foo! Haha that fly talking mess bro? 😂doing a good job bro keep the videos coming.

Will this work on a semi truck chassis? The black enamel on top? Will greatly appreciate your response.

Did you paint all in the video with just the amount you mixed?

Laid down nice, sent a few trinkets, hope you can use them. Maybe Fri delivery. I'll send tracking # when I get it.

How long after can you topcoat it with rustoleum low gloss enamel? Can I topcoat it within an hour or should I wait 24?...Wanna get it done.

And for a full car (Acura integra) how much primer and thinner should I use ??

Can I use it to spray on Bondo work before painting

Beautiful

What happened to the camaro ?

what product of theirs can be used for white top coat---im looking to DIY old vehicle

What do you use to remove all paint?

Can you paint lacquer over top of that oil based primer?

good video. do you spray only one coat, and do you sand before applying topcoat?

Does this primer hold up good

Hi GT, i’m from Canada, i have a Dodge D100 1957, it need to be bring back to bare métal and prime + paint. M’y questions: Between the primer coats you sand with wath grid : And thank’s for the videos it help me so much!

Why acetone instead of mineral spirits?

What spray tip is that?

Is this a top coat or a primer?

I paint under my car with it for years no rust, or holes in my floor pans my vehicle is 38

Spray gun?model?

What psi did you sprat at

How well does the rusty metal primer work on clean metal?

I wish they would always print "oil based paint" on the front like the gloss black I'm going to use on my wrought iron railings. I didn't realize it and tried for just a second to clean the brush in the sink. Not a big deal, but it seems like something all oil based paints would show. Guess I should have known or checked, but what with all the drinking, heavy drug use, and merriment I neglected to take that step. Oh well, that's life!

Every time I use this primer. Matte top coat runs brother. I do it right away or after 48 Hours makes no difference.

I THINK YOU NEED ANOTHER QUART ON THAT FENDER

Rusty metal can go on bare metal too?

A. Cuanto. Calibras. T. Tu. Pistola. Para. Pintar

En México no lo venden

u used a 2:1 ratio with 15 ounces of paint n 5 ounces of acetone.... ??

You had that to pretty clean metal , I’m not picking on you try etching primer , two light coats then clean your gun , and do primer filler.

Just curious why did you use a primer for heavily rusted metal on a parts with little to no rust. Was under the impression that rusted metal was needed for adhesion similar to Por 15.

would you recommend this over POR 15? i'm about to paint the whole bottom of a car

✌️

Looking food so far brother

hello I want you to know I was using a Harbor Freight spray gun but your Kobalt looks and sprays a lot better how much did you buy that for and how long have you had it and do you recommended for base coats

✌ 👍 👊 😎

Dents and all??

They make that stuff in a 24 oz can with the turbo nozzle.

Seems to have a narrow spray pattern.

✌️👋👍

Nice job ..for a ratrod...
