Painting A Metal Building 

Tip from a pro-spray one light mist coat. let it sit for 20-30 mins then spray a full coat. The mist coat will help the full coat "hang" better and not run.Keep it up!!

This is one of the best, most straight forward videos I've found since researching this subject. Thank you for uploading. Very helpful!

I painted my truck with the same paint over 2yrs ago a it still looks great.i found when wet sanding it for clear coat this paint is tuff as nails...great job

Excellent job excellent video sir ! Thank you I’ve gotta do this soon

That is A plus in my book good job 💪🏿💪🏿😎💯

I am researching all this to paint a metal shed (new not rusty) and this is the most detailed and helpful information. I felt overloaded before (never used oil based paint) but now I feel like I can tackle this. Thank you for showing us the details of the paint and the sprayer. That’s extremely helpful and I’m grateful to all RU-vidrs who do this to help people like me!!!!

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing what kind of paint to use.

thank you for sharing your knowledge.good job 👍

You made this look easy. It looks great!

Looks great! I have been pretty impressed with the rustoleum professional paints. The spray cans are pretty decent too

Thank you. We might be buying an older mobile and the underpinning is metal. It looks rough. This gives me and idea about repainting it to make it look nicer.

I’d mask it off, paint a 36” bottom strip wainscot in gloss black & the corner trim boards in gloss black. That would make it look super classy.

Enjoyed watching this (subscribed!) You made it look easy (and fun!). Thank you!

Really nice job, I'm inspired to do something like this

I liked the idea of not acting like your a professional. Honesty first. Great job and thanks

Looks good to me 😊

Nice job

Does your spray gun allow the tip/air nozzle to rotate 90 degrees? That would allow you to spray long vertical strokes and use the same amount of paint as each other side. Those short strokes chewed up a lot more paint.

You got a video of how the paint dried ? Is it really glossy . I ask because I was about to go with the same gray for my metal shop

Thanks. This is what we will be doing.

Rustolem 7769 primer. Oil base enamel by rustoleum. Rex beti electric spray gun, 500 watt motor. $60 Amazon. Use 3.0 nozzle for thicker paint. Mineral spirits to clean up afterwards. Take nozzle off and clean all components into bucket of mineral spirits.

Looks good

Other than doing a few rust paint spots how did you prep the building to hold the paint?

Okay! I think I can do it. I need to paint my metal building. I’m going to tell my husband I got this

Great job. I have a very similar application coming up. Did you spray or brush the rust primer?

I'm trying to paint over corrugated iron that is red in colour. Do you have any tips on how I can go about painting it.

the side you were spraying in long sweeping motions but the front you were making short quick strokes. I bet you were putting on quite a bit more paint with the over lap motion on the front with the quick strokes that were not as wide.Thats where the extra paint went, maybe? Looks good in the end though.

Can you use that electric sprayer about a foot away from building in case you are on a ladder spraying the side of your house because my house has metal siding

Looks good what a difference

Damn better then so called high priced pros! It's only a shed no need to pay thousands if it's oil based

Thank You! Great ideas and use of reclaimed siding. How did you seal the old nail holes?

How did you prep the rusty spots before you primed? Good job by the way!

Is that sprayer easy to clean get all tha oild base paint?

At 5:21 is how many feet is covered per gallon

How did you prep the metal for paint in the non primer areas?

Looks good a drop cloth might of helped a little

Could you use this same paint and technique on a metal roof?

Can you do an update video on how the paint job is holding up?

Looks great. How old was the old Paint?

A friend, contractor said to always clean metal with vinegar , will make the paint last much longer ??

Has there been any peeling or scratch off issues ? I have read that painting over galvanized metal without first using a bonding primer leads to to a lack of paint adhesion. I have a large machine shed that is galvanized metal siding ( built in the 50's ) that I would like to spray

How has it lasted? I really need to paint my shop but I'm so scared it won't stick well and will look worse!

Looks like while the paint was wet it was a blue/grey. Was that the case once it dried?

Sorry to get off subject, bit next time you service your FW15 could you please talk about/show all grease points etc. Found your channel a couple years ago because of your FW15. Enjoy the videos, thanks.

Did you paint the roof & if so did you paint it before or after the rest of the building?

Did you Sand the rust off and primer the spots

Would this work on a metal roof ?

Would you think you could do the roof

How much paint did you use

Bet you're happy you did this before the price of paint went insane...

Only thing I see is maybe wear a mask or respirator... looks great!

Looks good

Nice job
