im 67 years old been spraying my whole life from gel coat to driveway, paint jobs to spraying giant garbage bins in awesome booth i watch other guys spray makes me nervce when i watch you i can see you got it all under control not a million dollar paint job but not a million dollar car either its all good great video keep them coming
Best mixing ratio looks like glass 3 parts paint 1 part xylene 1oz penetrol 1 part clear coat oil base 1/2 oz hardener spray at 45 to 55 psi 3 turns out for fluid control wide-open fan and 80 percent overlap. People think it's a 2 stage and are blown away when they find out it's Rust-Oleum. Good job
I always knock a few holes in the rim of the can so it drains back inside . In the little valley where the lid locks in use a nail or a small screwdriver, it helps especially when putting the lid back on, it won't squirt across the room.
As talented as you are with cars and trucks, I think your biggest talent is being an incredible dad. Watching you do things with your son, and for him, gives this old man a major case of the warm and fuzzies. You are truly blessed and a blessing to your family.
Harbor freight has priced themselves out of the game for me I the last several years. About the time they did away with the mailers and coupons. I only shop there for equipment type stuff anymore. Hoists, engine stands, stuff like that. Theres several companies out there selling similar, if not the same items. Some of us are to blame (the guys using them for a loan a tool place) but their warranty has pretty much disappeared recently. The automotive "specialty" tools have a 90 day warranty now and require a receipt. The only thing with a lifetime warranty now is basic hand tools. If you enjoy shopping at tsc, youll love rural king.
Man, thank you Brother. I watched video while getting rolling this morning. Thought about my pops who passed couple years back the whole time. Nothing beats a great dad at work, Godspeed Sir.
My favorite part is the love he is showing it at the end. First car love for sure. My first car needed a quick and dirty paint job, but I loved that car. Two-tone from oxidation and dents in the roof from not enough clearance with a luggage carrier on.
The HVLP has a meaning...Hi Volume Paint at Low Pressure..most of your paint is in the air...as you're painting... Turn the pressure down, save on materials with Better coverage.
Thank you for a great tutorial on how to do a genuinely cheap paint job that looks better than it should. I won't ever do that myself, but I think you've taught me enough in just this one video that I would be willing to dive in if I had a car that needed cheap paint on it.
I remember my first car, a 1972 Ford Pinto. I bought it for 75.00 drove it home and stuffed a 351 Cleveland in it, with a Mustang 9 inch rear member 4.11 Detroit locker. I had it for 3 years until I got hit by a drunk driver. It was totaled... the only reason I didn't get hurt was the 12 point roll cage protecting me. It was baby powder blue.
Just what I needed. I've always wondered about the Rustoleum. We used to paint the sheet rock in the shop with it so one could throw a tool on the bench without worrying about denting the wall. I've been thinking about using it to paint my motorcycle. Heck, now I'm thinking about painting my truck.
I have a 58 Baja Bug. I painted it in 2008 in my driveway under a 10 x 20 tarp canopy with Home Depot painters drop cloth plastic film clamped on the sides. Hosed down the concrete before spraying. All the roll cage and bumpers is painted Rustoleum Sail Blue out of 1 quart cans from the local True Value. Thinned with Klean Strip mineral spirits. It was the real deal then. What they sell now just aint the same no matter WHICH "paint thinner" you get. Acetone seems to still be acetone. I thinned 1:1. No hardener. Sprayed with an HF old school style gun like an old Binks. Worked great. Sprayed sweet. Flowed very nice. Hardened up in a day. Still in good shape now 16 years later. Could use a buff and wax on the bumpers. But the cage is still shiny. Wish I had used Rustoleum on the bodywork insteas of machinery single stage. That has a couple of 1" blisters on the roof. So the body is about due for repaint. I plan for that to be Rustoleum Smoke Gray to go with the Sail Blue.
Hey buddy a little trick I learned on pouring gallon cans of paint or other things is take some good tape and start putting it around the edges of the gallon paint can on top with the lid off!! Start at the outer edges and work your way towards the middle ripping pieces off as you go!!! You can make like a circle in the middle with a point on one side of the circle in the middle!! Then on the point side you can take some pieces of the tape and work it out wards or upwards off of the flat part of the tape!! Kinda making a pour spout like a measuring cup!!! I have found by just spending about 5 minutes or less it has definitely helped me from not making a mess and from products from running down the side of the can!!! I’m not sure if you have seen this nice little trick but it definitely works well and keeps things much cleaner!!! Definitely give it a try!!!
Awesome job Hector!! It's not just about the paint job. You can see the love and care that went into something for your son. The pride you have for him when you tell he passed his driver's test just shines. Good family and friends always helping each other, that's the reason I love this channel. I can't wait to see you back on the Ford. Waiting on the next one. Keep on howling!!
The jeep is definitely like amazing for sure!!! Know I can’t wait to see the new wheels and tires and lift all setup and what it will look like all finished up!!! The wheels and tires will definitely change it even more!!!
Looks good. Don't have spend big money on paint for a driver as long as it looks good. Sweat equity by Tyler & his friend sanding it down makes it all worth it. Thanks for sharing.
Great job brother, I've got an old 1990 S10 4x4 that I really need to paint. If I had a place to do it myself, I'd do it just like you did this one. Watching you makes me believe that I could do it. Thanks for the encouragement. God bless!
I see why Rory and the Crew mesh so well with You and the Crew…good salt…sharers of knowledge not keepers..and that means giving of your time…the one thing you can not control or get back. 👊🇺🇸👊
I remember a time when there were a bunch of guys doing paint jobs like this. Just sprucing up old daily drivers. Thanks for showing it can still be done economically.
I did this to a beat Honda Civic I had about 10yrs ago. It was supposed to be a joke, I couldn't believe how good it came out for painting it in the driveway without a hardener.
Good job my brother. My wife had one exactly like that. Until our son son got T-Bone at the intersection that was the end of that ride. Good job man..🤟🏽🤙🏽👍🏼🖖🏽👏🏽😊😎🙋🏽♂️🙏🏽
I lived in GJ most my life, have seen you around a lot doing hot rod stuff. Currently live in OKC and gotta say it’s nice to see some of mesa county in your videos. I’ve only been painting cars for about two years and it’s one of the best things I have ever done with my life. Keep up the videos man, definitely fun to watch 👍
Westside Racing's Bondo Brothers Channel we dig your style Thank you for the info on the Buget paint I will have to try it How is the UV protection in the paint how long does it last in the sun keep up the great work
I have trucks I've painted 3 or 4 years ago, and they still look pretty good. But even high dollar paint will fade in the sun. It would probably do even better if you took care of it and waxed it with UV protection in it.
Thanks Hector. I think that you explain everything just fine brother. Now the unfortunate thing is that up here in Canada, we don't have Tractor Supply, and I have never heard of Magic brand. I work in a welding shop and we do a lot of painting, and our go to paint is usually Rustoleum
I’ve not got a lot of experience but I have painted a couple dozen vehicles and I appreciate your words of encouragement. Only way you’re gonna find out is jump in there and do it. Man that turned out super nice. Good job Sir.
When you add hardener to rustoleum it makes it a 2k product ! I would like to experiment adding some oil based clear to the last coat of paint and see how it shines.
I need a Howling Wolf paint job….. I have a daily driver Square Body just needs to be freshened up. Rock chips and daily scratches. Don’t need a show car paint job. Jeep turned out awesome. 👍 great job Hector!
If you plan on using a whole gallon that may work unless it kicks off too soon! IDK hot hot that mix is but if it kicks off in the gun you will wish it was different! Love your content.
Looks 100% better ! Im 66 yesterday And all ive painted was the inside of the bed & 4 wheels of my old 77 gmc pickup. My buddy helped me prep & i rattle canned it with hammeright brown paint alot of cans & match the color good. It was a work truck . I did it outside. That was in the 90s. Sold it 2012 got my 2005 fard ranger xlt. Saw my old truck in the junk yard dude got drunk hit a tree head on no insurance.
Dang Hector!!a couple bumper ends n maybe hit the window trims with the detail brush n thats a legit mint one owner low miles....lol... awesome job brother ❤️🇺🇸
I hope the sun is kind to your red paint. Out here in the desert it turns a powdery pink in a few years but it is excellent work you do. I too have a friend that used to paint cars and trucks outside
Yes, I have done that before. Now I have the painters soaked rags come in a little bucket, and they work great. Takes everything off with ease, and it doesn't bother my skin.
Nice job Wolf it looks great. and thanks for the shots of the XJ at the end I forgot how rough it was before you started!!! Thanks for all of the expertise and the detail on this budget paint job.I don't know if I am brave enough to paint my truck but my utility trailer or car trailer you bet I would.
just wanted to say that I have enjoyed whaching you channel. I used to paint cars for fun but haven't in along time. I have a few trucks that need painting and got a shock when I checked the price of automotive paint. I wanted to tell you that you can buy single stage paint off e bay for 100 bucks complete with hardener and reducer
Great job and Video. I have sprayed Rust Oleum on trailers. I have used the 5 second drip method with the paint stick. Works pretty well for me. Used the HF green gun,$20. Out of stock on the purple one like yours.
it looks good enough for me, I think my Excursion has an "Earl Shieb" type paint job on it, it used to be a Fire Truck, and it is obvious it got resprayed at one of the three Auction lots it when through.
That really turned out nice Hector. You wouldn't know it was the same vehicle. The '50 is going to be a cool ride when it is all finished. Keep it up brother!
