Very informative video. Thanks. I have a suggestion, if you put the lid to the tumbler in a plastic sandwich bag and tuck all the excess under the lid, it makes a great seal for the top when painting.
Great video! I've fallen in love with the Ozark Trail tumblers. The first one I bought, i'm leaving as is but I just bought 2 more and will be painting them.
I love your videos it comes with some imperfections but it's unique and not fake like some videos I've seen some that tries so hard deleted some oops. Thanks for the information bro!👍
would it work the same if you didn't want the matte finish and just wanted a gloss finish? would just like an input because I am thinking that I will make these for my bridal party(:
A lot of people think stainless steel never rusts but in fact it’s just rust resistant due to the chromium in it that forms a oxide layer on the surface to protect it. If scratched it will quickly fill in the gap with a new oxide layer to protect it but if you scratch it with normal steel exposing it to iron it will rust much faster. Steel wool, harsh chemicals such as chlorides and other things are not safe for it. Wiping it with a soap and water is best
Good video,,,,, years ago i took my ss squirrel hunting thermos painted it OD and took a wolf print rubber stamp and put black paw prints on that,,,,made coffee taste better 😃
I doubt it lasted very long. Stainless doesn’t hold paint well and the rattle can paints chip very easily. If you want a lasting finish then powder coat it.
Bought my wife a Yeti for work and it disappeared very quickly. Bought her a new one and personalized it with my dremel. Been 2 years and she still has it. : ) also engraved my cell number on the bottom of it.
You have to be careful with what you use on stainless as it can rust if exposed to certain things. Stainless does rust eventually it just takes much longer then other steels. Steel wool is not good for it as he used. I’m not sure if lighter fluid is okay but harsh chemicals are not good for it. Soap and water is best
The ozarktrail actually performs better in a few trials I've seen online. Although most believe they're made by the same company. All their measurements are identical, even the degree of the angle where it gets smaller for the cup holder.
We sell stencils that are used primarily for Cerakote, but would work fine for rattle can. All you'd need to do is let the first coat dry completely, apply the stencil, paint the over coat, dry, then peel the stencil off before clear coat.
After applying the coats of paint and before applying the final top coat, could you spray paint glitter to make it more "girly"? I'm thinking you can, since you are applying the top coats, but I'm not sure & would like your input. Great video & thank you for sharing.
I painted several cups with the paint and top coat, but did not use the oven. Now my bottoms of the cups are scratched up. The sides are mostly fine. I saw another video that a women sells cups and she uses epoxy clear coat as a final coat. Does the oven treatment 'replace' the epoxy?
Miranda Scott Use a high gloss paint and let it dry for 24hrs. Lightly sand with 1200 grit sand paper and wipe it clean with alcohol. Than use a 2k clear coat and let it dry for 24hrs. Than enjoy...
I just want to add names to the already colored Ozark trail tumblers. I've applied the names with an oil-based paint. Do you recommend that I bake the Tumblers to ensure the names don't come off? If so do I need to do it in stages like bake them three times like you did on here? I just want to make sure that all of my detailed work does not wash off after the first use. Also do you recommend that I apply a finishing coat of some sort? Any input would be very appreciated. As these will be Christmas gifts for my employees and need to be done ASAP.
Might want to consider leaving a larger unpainted lip if you are not using a food safe clear top coat. Especially if you are selling them or giving them to others as gifts. Lets face the facts if one person gets sick from the paint it could be very costly.
Most important question about your process, I took notes as I watched and I am confused as to how many actual coats of paint do you use? Do you paint with color then matt and oven bake a total of 3 times?? Thank you!
On the cooking part, does it need to be 100%\24 hours dry? I did a first coat, dried 24 hours, cooked for 45 min at 200. My second coat is a different color, just an over-spray in spots, not a total covering. Do I have to let that dry all the way before putting it in the oven, or will about an hour suffice? I'm putting another clear coat on after this one.
Um, you need to scratch the surface of the stainless for anything to stick. You also need a metal etching primer as a base coat. How long is this paint lasting for you?
+Mid-America Prep You painted and baked the first time, then you scuffed with steel wool. What did you clean with or how did you clean the tumbler after scuffing?
I am planning on getting a 64 oz rambler, from YETI, i'm getting a great deal, and if I wanted to do this, which I kind of do, my biggest fear is it exploding in the oven, is that something that I need to worry about at all?
+Cassidy Wallace Oven might have been too hot? I let them cool down in the oven completely. Klean Strip paint stripper works well to remove it. Try again if you have time!
+ScienceFoundation You can buy powder coated tumblers directly from yeti and companies alike. Baking it assures adhesion. You don't have to bake it if you're not comfortable.
We bake them in our shop at 200 for 2 hours, and have never had any issues. We've sold somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 of these things, and have never had a reported issue. We also have a cabinet full of them, and use them daily.
Every Stainless Tumbler you buy will tell you not to microwave. NEVER PUT ANY METAL INTO A MICROWAVE! That has nothing to do with the heat. The dishwasher statement is because some of the more abrasive detergents can pit the metal over time. The guys that powder coat these put them in the oven for extended periods of time. 200 deg or less and it should be fine.
+Mid-America Prep awesome job man is not if yeti sales those cups already colored is about to get our mind and ppls ass to get to work and find cheap ways to get good stuff at a cheap price thank u for sharing ur video mid-america prep!! i will work soon on my ozark cup the way u r doing it on your video brother!
+bassist1217 yes but still he is not talking about go to the store and buy it cheap he is talking about get ur ass up the chair and be creative and crafty!! dummie
Dude don't be a A$$ about it. You said something about putting them in the dishwasher. We were just making a statement to let those who don't know that your not supposed to put in dishwasher. You have a great video very informative but why the attitude?? We were just stating what's on the instructions.
The ozarktrails small cup will keep coffee hot enough to drink for about 4 hours. I wonder how long yeti does. I would like to tell you the probable reason you have so many negative thumbs down is the video is so hard to watch. At 8 mins in you're just now taping the top! No one wants to set and watch that much. You made a 6 min video into 20+ mins. Unfortunately, that gets thumbs down. 😏😖
Dude, if you like, look at the date, it’s almost like this video was made WELL before yeti, rtic, or OT offered any colored tumblers. Also, they don’t offer every color an individual may want one to be. Shocking
