Re: rustoleum paint jobs
I am wondering the same thing. Got my truck bed close to prepped and I am gonna prime/rust converter some other areas before attempting to paint. It is pretty cold where I am and even in my garage, which gets some heat, it is still only about 40 degrees. Should I paint or try to heat up the garage with a propane or electric heater? Got an air compressor and the cheapest of guns but have never tried to put rustolium/acetoner/mineral spirits through it. Any hints on that would be sweet. I brushed my car with the stuff and it looks great for the cost of supplies and the lack of time spent, I think I can do much better spraying with more time spent wetsanding. Any advice will be utilized...

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
If you do that just make sure to turn if off before opening the paint cans, mixing, or spraying anything. Having an open flame in a room full of explosive vapors can produce undesirable results.

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
I like that, undesireable! Theres a thread on page two I started on spraying rustoleum, and actually youll do alot less wet sanding when you spray then when you roll..

For spraying tips, you might want to take a look at posts number 51 & 80 on this thread, which explains the techniques I used to paint my truck. Although I used John Deere Blitz Black, it’s also just air dry enamel, so the same methods would apply to Rustoleum paint: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ht=blitz+black Last edited by markeb01; 12-10-2010 at 03:09 PM. |

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
Well I've used rustoleum a few times but now I'm in the process of pai t my 84 chevy c10 I heard you guys talking about mixing pearls with the paint has it been successful for anyone? I have a gallon of gloss Leather brown rustoleum paint and I would like to give it a rootbeer brown look does anyone have any ideas? This car was painted 2 years ago with rustoleum.

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
To you guys out there adding hardener to your enamel I have some words of caution...Hardener contains cyanurates (google it) which are extremely toxic. You are supposed to be using a fresh air supplied respirator with that stuff. Keep it cheap, but keep it safe. Know what you are spraying. Having said that, I'll get down from my soapbox now. Here's my Rusto Rig....done without hardener, but with a real respirator, not one o' them paper bra cups with a string type things.

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
Just my 2¢...
Ive used rustoleum for years, brush on the chassis full strength, spray everything else with a Harbor freight gun, 50%acetone 50% paint. Temps around 70 + . Even my carport got this treatment aith zero sanding, prep, or primer. Pressure washed, dried it, and shot the paint.

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
I'm sorry but I don't understand your question? Who is Cole? If you mean the color's name...it's a mix of Hunter Green, Royal Blue and Gloss White.

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
Ha, guess we'll name it Cole Blue. Seriously though, mixing your own color works fine, but if you needed to reshoot a panel for some reason and tried to mix it up again....you've heard the expression, "Lighting never strikes the same place twice". Here's a quick snapshot of one I just did in Gloss Almond....

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
AcampoDave: I really like that color green, similar to 518 med green. Do you remember approximately what proportion of Hunter Green, Royal Blue and White?

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
Sorry, I was trying to match the original paint on the firewall. All I remember is that it took more white than I expected.

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
Thanks,
My 72 GMC is med green and white (pretty much the same color combo as yours but still wearing its original paint). It is pretty rough but I wouldn't mind improving the looks of it until (or if) I have the time to really fix it up right. I might get some small cans and start mixing to see if I can come close to matching the color. Doesn't have to be a perfect match but it sure would look better than having the inside of the cab etc be a completely different color if I went with one of the off the shelf colors to paint the outside.

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
Yep, the small can trials is what I did first too. After making this color, it kinda got me wondering as to what other ones i could make.
I've always been drawn to "Jade Green" /"Gloss Olive" type of colors too. I'd combine that with a "Canvas White" trim, Softray glass over a "Fawn" interior....awesome. They make some of those funky little Euro cars in those kind of classic color schemes now. Why not post up a pic of your truck so we can get a better idea of what you're scheming on?

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
This picture is from when I first got it. I’ve since replaced the missing trim but it pretty much still looks like this. The truck is wet in the photo so it is not so shiny! What bugs me most is the hood, way beyond a CLR bath.

Tailgate is a mess. I’ll try to get a better picture or two

Re: rustoleum paint jobs
Taken today. This was all prompted by the need to reseal drip rails. I was gonna just repaint the roof. But? Maybe mix up my own Rustoleum, do some basic body work and shoot it
