Rustoleum paint job?!?!

[River Beast]

My neigbor just did his 76 Scout with it...WOW!!! :eek:

The top is white as all heck!!! like a factory paintjob finish!!!

I LOVE IT!!! Rustproof and all!!! cost him $30 for the gallon and whatever the thiner cost. 5 to 1 mix and looks like glass!!! Hasn't even buffed it out yet!!

I think this is the route I will be taking after Ouray. ;) The same guy that sprayed his said he will do mine for me... I do all the prep work and the bay is $50

I didn't believe he was doing this... but once I saw the finished product I was astonished!!!

maybe I can do that to my car before I sell it. I doubt I can sell my camouflage car for more then a few hundred.

[River Beast]

He is color sanding it and buffing it out as we speak!!!

THEN EVERYBODY WOULD BE PAINTING WITH IT...FOR UNDER 60.00???.... ..THAT'S A GOOD DEAL!!!.......... ....NOW!!!!! DON'T BE MAD AT ME!!!...IF THAT WORKS IT'S NEWS TO ME!!!...WITH OUT ACRYLIC IN THE PAINT..YOU'LL BURN THE PAINT WHEN YOU BUFF IT.... smile.gif smile.gif

GARY.... iIM NOT PULLING YOUR LEG... I WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS...

THE WHITE ROOF IS FLAWLESS AND NEEDS NO BUFFING AT ALL... SMOOTH AS SILK... NO KIDDING.

I WILL FIND OUT WHAT (IF ANYTHING) THEY PUT INOT THE PAINT FOR A HARDENER.

LIKE I SAID... I WILL TAKE PICS WHEN IT'S DONE

Todd , I too have witnessed a "smooth as silk" rustoleum finish, My buddy did this with a CJ in gloss black.. Now I dont have an eye for show room finishes, but it looked immaculate to me.. He did use an expensive spayer with proper filters..

[River Beast]

Yes.. I will take pics when it is complete

[Simontrips]

I must agree with GEM.I would not recommend this to anyone.I was ASE certified in automotive paint and body,RM certified and PPG certified among others, blah blah blah.I just don`t see how this will look like you say and hold a shine,oh and buffing ,is the paint even hard?
I COULD BE WRONG !!!!!!It has happened before.

Guys, I have to chime in w/ the naysayers. I did a Ford Van in a chocolate brown Rustoleum industrial grade paint. Sounds good huh? One summer in the not too hot Wyo sun and it looked like chalk. A nice quick fix but it isn't going to last. J20

I painted my truck a little over three years ago with enamel tractor paint. Still looks pretty good for a paint job done in the garage with a 3 horse compressor and a $30 paint gun. Uses naptha as a thinner, so wear a good respirator. Cost about $20 a gallon and you can get the same paint in a spray can for touch ups. Not a lot of color choices. John Deere green, Kubota orange, IH white, etc.
