I used to buy this paint through the Mack Trucks parts department. It was made by Kirker. Was really cheap and held up pretty good. Now all the auto paints I price are crazy expensive. Last time I bought a gallon of Rustoleum it was under 40 bucks

I mean I painted my car with Rustoleum and the total cost was $250 including the price of the gun and tools. That’s pretty cheap.

Impressive isn't it! Huge difference in longevity with adding the clear coat!

That's impressive! Also great use for an old locker! We've definitely cut up a few old lockers and turned them into rocker panels haha

Very impressive! if you know how quick car bodies are rusted here in Alberta due to the absurd amount of salt they put on winter streeets. Not driven during winter is usually top selling over mileage.

Thanks! Ya I think the yellow looks good on it

Ya its pretty good! Didn't think we'd be this far along

Thank you, that's really cool. Glad that you like our videos. Really appreciate you watching and supporting!

Thank you very much, it's a tough truck to handle all it's been through! Thanks for watching your northern neighbors! 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for such a nice comment! We have been very surprised and happy with how fast our channel has grown. We hope it continues, it would be nice to be able to spend more time on the channel and upload more! Thanks again and we will try to keep the videos coming!

Thank yo very much! Ya its a good option to keep costs down

Thank you! We have some cool videos in the works!

Right on! 🇨🇦. Ya we have had good luck and results using this method. The clearcoat we used is called "Rouge". Should be able to get it at a paint and body supply shop. We get ours at Baseline Fender and Supply in Sutton

@@RustedRides I cant go go there...too many old girlfriends in that area!...lol...but yes we have a couple good body shop suppliers here in Barrie.

​@@cgindustrial1859haha, ok, steer clear! But ya I'm sure there is a shop in barrie that can get their hands on "Rouge"

Thank you! Appreciate you watching and commenting!

Thank you! Appreciate you watching the videos and hopefully we do keep going to 10k and beyond!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! 100k, man that woukd be something!

Cool small channel will become yet another sellout hahaha

Haha thank you! Thank you for the support!

Nice! Was it steel rims? Every few years the steel rims that our snow tires are on need to be sprayed. The road salt is so hard on them

@@RustedRides yep, steel. summer use only. hope they last a while - i didn't use a 2K clear - but if not it's ridiculously easy to respray. the paint is called CombiColor here.

You are not the first person to ask that, we will try and do another video with more explanation in the future!

Interesting, so the orange seems to fade the worst? That's great the yellowhas held up so well! We've had black fade out on us pretty bad in the past

Thank you so much!!

Thank you! It's holding up nicely!

Thank you! Ya a lot went into that truck, but he's had it a long time and knows it inside and out

Really! Thats awesome! Must need a lot of it!

@RustedRides not really man covers great been doing graffiti for over 25 years

Thank you very much for watching and for the comment!

Ya the body line is lined up and doesn't look out of place until it's pointed out. Turned out pretty good!

Good eyes, Have several GMT400 rigs, how was the mount ? Did it align with holes ?🤔

Thank you very much! It's a good technique that we've done a handfuof times and are happy with the results!

Happy to be your Guinea pig and your beer-o-clock reminder!

Haha maybe we'll find a bakery chain that we can get sponsored for each subscriber to get a piece of cake!

Thank goodness I just subscribed

Thank you! Did you find the full video for the vibe?

@@RustedRides Yes! Watched it all! : )

Thank you very much! Really appreciate it! We have some really cool videos/projects on the way!

Hey! Thank you very much! Glad you found our videos, and happy to have you as our neighbor! 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Thank you very much!

Ditto 😊

That's great👍🇨🇦. It would be awesome to see you there! We actually just did work on a pearl white ESV. Sorry to hear it wasn't a good experience though. It is expensive paint that's for sure. Thanks for watching Mike, and hope to see you at Autofest and can chat more!

Haha, nope, all Canadian! 🤘🇨🇦

@@RustedRides reminds me of a former Red Wings player - maybe Stevie Y? Nice job on the paint. I’m impressed.

I was thinking Tom Green.

They’re Canadian you tit. I hate when people say stuff like faking an accent. If it’s really coming out of your mouth it’s not fake. There is no such thing as a fake accent. The way you talk is how you talk. You can talk any way you want.

Road salt is the WORST! So bad up here in the great white north. Sounds like you had some fun with bondo!

We have +30 degrees Celsius in the summer and - 20 Celsius in the winter. Stored outside buy not on the road in the winter...the car sees the same weather, not garage kept and definitely on the road in the winter, but it was just don't this past February.

Oh right on, let us know how it goes if you do try it!

@@RustedRides I will try to remember - it will be sometime next year. I plan on using the smoke grey with the Van Sickle urethane hardener for gloss and durability

Haha they turned out pretty good! 👍

It really does!

3:30

It's the Canadian uniform!

He has had that truck blue and white, he had it red and black, he has had it falling apart too haha. The yellow does pop!

Thank you very much! Very nice of you to say! The 100k subs will be more than a cake and a buffet!

There’s tons of tractor paint videos on here. I just redone a 1981 c10 short bed 355 sbc cammed engine for my first ever full restore hell first ever anything with a car or truck. I use to pay for it and not want to do it. But the c10 brought it out of me somehow and how I done it in 90 days top to bottom was you tube lol. I mixed some rusoleum tractor paints to get an almost charcoal gray using the Massey gray and some rust oleum black n whites I had here at home. Didn’t let it flash anywhere near the 12 hours as I read in many post I’d be redoing it all if I went longer. But most vids said 30 min between coats and 1 hour after 3rd go ahead and start clear . Worked out great for me hardly any wet sanding at all. No Runs at all and painted it with Lvlp gun of Amazon and a 12 gallon compressor bahaha. In my front yard even. It’s been 1.5 years now and she still shining great. Actually showed her a few times and have had many questions as to which high end custom shop painted it lol. Actually enjoyed it and will be glad to get to do some more. Except the wife said as much time and money I spent in 90 days if I done it again I better do an rv because I wasn’t coming back home lol. I did paint it two times though because the first time something weird happened. Idk what ya call it but after spraying my color and clear, maybe 26 hours later the whole damn truck changed colors drastically lightened up. Idk if it were my hardener or time of day I painted or maybe even clearing to quickly ? Be glad to know the answer if anyone may have ideas lol . But good intel here with these guys except I’m from Alabama and yall talk weird lmao

Thank you very much! Really appreciate that comment and the encouragement! We will have a really cool video next week!

Thank you!

Thank you! That's very nice of you!

That's great! Good way of saving money! We've been planning on doing a Mazda on the channel actually. A few things to do first but we really want to try working on a rotary. Tha KS for watching and commenting! 🇨🇦👍

That would be a cool car to have now!

Haha yes! Cake and buffet!

I want cake too!! 10k lets goooooooo!

Hmm... Wondering what we could do in John Deere green now... Cams brother just sold an old jd tractor... But what car would pop in jd green?

Ya it really turned out good. And he put a lot of work into making it fit the way it does

Let's go!!

Amazing! See you then!

Just responded to your other comment, but yes we can do a bit more explaining on the patch panels and how we do them. Might be able to do that on the van video actually!

It's going to be great! Can't wait to bring our cars and see what everybody else brings

It's in the works! Video on the van coming soon!

Very viable option. It depends on the maccoas well for how it's going to turn out. Also the cheap macco job up here in Canada isn't cheap anymore. They have raised their prices big time

If you are just planning on selling it, you could skip the clear as it will look good at sale time. But might feel bad if it fades fast for the buyer? It's also a good opportunity just to try it out doing it with clear. Chance to practice so when you end up doing something you are keeping then you've already tried it. Even if you don't do a great job, it will look better than the car does now if you are saying the paint is shot. That's awesome you are planning on coming to Autofest, we are really looking forward to it!

@@RustedRides Yikes I would feel bad if it faded so scratch that. I am going to see if I can find some super cheap single stage 202. I cant imagine its too expensive, and I bet a gallon would cover a corolla that's already black.... so I am really hoping to make that. Wondering if I can squeeze in a family camping trip - have been wanting to check out the peninsula between Huron and the GB. From google maps street view thing it looks like of like the southern shores of Superior, which is amazing. Either way, Lord willing I make it, I will be sure to say hello if I see you guys

​@@DrewGarage if you can make it definitely say hi! But ya black single stage should cover real well. Bestof luck and hope to see you at Autofest!

@@RustedRides Thanks! See you there, Lord willing!

They are! One will be in a video real soon!

We used Nason reducer and proform universal catalyst hardener. We explain a bit more in the pontiac vibe video that we painted blue, might be worth a look if you are thinking about trying it! Thanks for watching and for the comment

@@RustedRides I've done it a bunch of times on work trucks and 10 wheel dumps we used on site jobs. It came out good. But there was a guy here a few years back with a Ford F-1 pickup he restored and he used red rustoleum. It was really nice. He told me he used a hardener, but I forget what he said it was. I right now have 2 trucks here that I painted with rustoleum but without hardener. One in 2009 and another in 2015. So far they both held up. A little dull now, but I think they would buff out fine

We used a clear coat from a brand "Rouge"

We are Canadian, from a town about an hour or so from Toronto 👍

It's a product called "Rouge". Bought it at Baseline Fender and Supply. It's a place in Ontario to get paint and body materials

It's when reversing and try and spin around and try and go straight. It's called other things but that's the nickname that we go by

I'd say better. At least around here. Macco has gotten expensive and they don't always put in much time on prep. And depending on it you get the new guy or the guy that's been doing it a while, you get runs and bad orange peel.

Can you imagine what the Mopar fanatics would do to us? ... We should probably do it. 😂

😂👍

Mix the paint 50/50 with Nason reducer

That's true.. If it goes too far you'd be scuffing down the whole truck again before clear

Oh yes! The clearcoat makes a huge difference. And the amount of prep work really depends on how much time someone wants to put into their project. But it's always good to do a good job with prep

Yes, without clear coat it would start to look dull in a year, start to get chalky in 2-3. Really depends on how much sun it gets

We are not in the risk area, thank you for the concern though

Really eh? We haven't had that in our experience. It does take a while to dry that is true, but 6 months? I have had other paint, for my front door to my house, it's been a year and it still feels weird.

Yes labor and skill is the majority of a professional paint job. This is for diy'ers and people can just put in as much effort as they want in prep. We've done tri-coat paint jobs and the paint alone cost $2000. But the rustoleum and clear and sandpaper and tape and masking paper, under $300 CAD for someone who just wants to spray in their backyard

Single stage is kit bad but it's still much more expensive than rustoleum and the clear we have used here. Single stage is approximately $185 CAD a quart, vs rustoleum at $30 CAD. Even with the clear, we are still spending less and will get a better glossy wet look

Single stage isn’t bad it’s been around forever for a reason this kind of work is garbage use good products get good results

@@jean-phillipegagnon2120 how was this not a good result? What don't you understand about saving a lot of money? You think people want to spend more money than necessary to paint a older vehicle? What makes you think that? How silly of you.

@@jean-phillipegagnon2120 I think that was a typo, I think that meant to say "Single stage isn't bad". They've done a single stage video before, check out some of the other videos!

Base coat is about 5 times the money 💀

This is an economical way for someone to get a good diy paint job without breaking the bank. Rustoleum costs way less

Hey, ya i see what you are saying, but this is more for diy'ers that want to save money and do the job themselves, the materials would coat less than $300 Canadian. If they have the time to put in, it's a viable option

Clearly you have a vested interest in people paying exorbitant rates to cover "warranty" and issues if customers return. This video has nothing to do with your market, this is for people that would never spend that kind of money for manual labor easy jobs

That's great! A bus would be a big job though!
