Looks great Glenn. I'm prepping to paint my old club car ds and came across your video. I'm a house painter by trade and was planning to use my airless with a urethane enamel, but i think i will try the rustoleum after seeing your success ! I do have a decent automotive spray gun, and I never get to use it, so it should be a fun project. You mentioned a hardener, that you decided not to use here, if you were to use a hardener with rustoleum what would you use ? I'm in Manitoba Canada so hopefully would have access to the same product if i decide to add hardener
@@GlennsSpeedShop I may just go without hardener, especially since a plastic golf cart experiences more flex. May be better off without it. I have been thinking about adding some Japan dryer though. I’m a house painter by trade and that stuff really helps alkyd paints set up much faster !
I have a collection of Spray Guns, I collect JGA Devilvis, and Binks Model 7, I have like 15 spray guns... My JGA copy I used here my Dad gave me about 42 years ago, was purchased from my Uncle Tom's Auto Parts Store. It has painted more than 100 cars in my hands and works perfect still and i have NO reason to replace it. You need to understand that the spray pattern on a spray gun is fully adjustable as it the paint volume, but painting outside carries many challenges. If you choose a wide spray pattern outside much of the paint is going I to the air and off onto the neighbors house and a small curvy piece like this is best covered in a smaller spray pattern. The paint job turned out great, why complain about my spray gun?
Clear is a great idea if you don't plan to beat it up. I plan to haul stuff, loan it out to everyone and it will get beat up. If you clear it, it's hard to touch up. If you dont, put lots of paint on it so skuffs can sand and polish scratches away or touch up paint if needed
@@GlennsSpeedShop i painted mine 2 years ago with rustoleum the same way you have done this one and mine is just as shiny today as it was the day i painted it. No clear applied. Only thing i done was applied plastic paint promoter. Does your paint chip off easy with just the rustoleum primer.
Nice! Any recommendation on a basic, affordable spray gun I could use for this job with my 2.5 gal. Bostitch (Tank is 150 psi, and the attachments capability is 2.0 SCFM @ 90 psi)
For the money, the cheapest HVLP gun at Harbor Freight may be the best option. Your compressor is too small for most painting projects however. It will run forever and never keep up causing the compressor to run hot in turn will condense moisture and push water with the air and ruin the paint job. To help, run a box fan over your compressor to cool it. Paint smaller items, a HVLP is a High Volume Low Pressure gun, the lower pressure also helps. And give the Lil compressor breaks to cool off and use a water filter and an in line point of use water filter at the gun. Good luck Glenn
I did not want serious orange peel, but a little body to the paint will half hide the not so perfect bodywork! I accidentally left the rear of the golf cart outside after I painted it and messed up the finish so I ended up wet sanding both body pieces and polishing them out, smooth as silk now.
