SINCE CLEARLY there are nothing but keyboard warriors. This is experimenting with this it’s not a guaranteed way to achieve a perfect paint job. People think I’m faking my videos and clearly if you watch you can see I show my screw ups and all. If you don’t like my videos DO NOT WATCH THEM! Simple so please go find a hobby other than hating on people doing something with their lives. If I hurt your feelings then go cry in your safe space.
Ignore all those haters. I do plan to do my own channel on car repairs. Im sure there going to tell me im not doing it right or something dumb. Tho all we are doing is trying to help others and give them a little guidance. I support your channel 100% and will continue doing so. Looking forward to your future content.👍👊
Alejandro Rodriguez Thank you 🙏🏻 people are claiming I’m faking my videos not showing things. Only don’t show the long process of wet sanding or something stupid like that. I show my screw ups and everything idk why people think I’m faking but whatever. They can stop hating and watching idc
Average car guy You would think but there are people who snort condoms and eat tide pods now days 😂
James, I hope you're not considering me a hater. Opposed to the elec gun the rattle cans are a no brainer. I'm GOING to use your technique on a beater 96 Corolla I picked up for 2 bills as a beach car to preserve my GOOD vehicles. It's ugly and won't be a break in target either here in Florida. Definitely like what you do and watching everything to give it a try. Keep it up
I think your videos have been great! These are exactly the kind of videos I look for. Everything I do is on a budget so please keep it up!
You might want to try mineral spirits to thin it. That acetone is going to make it dry fast and not give it a chance to lay down. Acetone is used as an accelerator in paints . Just an idea. Cool video for a cheap paint job👍
Don’t forget you can find a 20-30% off coupon for harbor freight almost any time....another rad video man!
I actually used a %20 off coupon when i bought it making the price like $17 after tax.
How??
J Espinoza just google harbor freight coupons I shop there all the time so I get them in emails. But you can just google it and there up to date catalogue is online.
I've never seen a 30% off coupon from HF.
Don Trend I have definitely used 30% off ones, but might have been 30% off an an item less than 10$ or something
Thanks you bro. It help me a lot with my project. I used it on my metal gate worked perfect.
Thank you for the video. been thinking about painting my F250 with some Rust-Oleum. It doesn't have to be perfect but this gives me hope that I can get it a little nicer looking than what I originally thought.
Great video as always bro. Nice work trying different ways to paint is awesome and helping others get an idea on how to try the electronic spray gun damn thats dope.👍
Alejandro Rodriguez Thanks still messing around with it.
My friend really great video some of us are less fortunate to spend thousands of dollars on professional paint jobs or really nice things but overall we small people can thank other small people for time and effort on how we could be proud of what we can accomplish in life good job you got a subscriber here ✌🏼
I've been following your videos for a month, your videos were awesome!
You have a great sense of humour, 12:17 you said the same thing in another video :D
The orange peel is crazy on it but like you said and show it can be knocked down and wow the result is super glossy!!! AMAZING BRO!! FUK THE HATERZ WHO DISLIKED THIS ALREADY
Seems like a good option for my jeep. Not looking for show room quality, just need to repaint after rust repair.
SuperCheese088 You can get even better results if you spent longer wet sanding. Also thin the paint a bit more and it won’t orange peel as bad
I got almost no orange peal i did base and clear and it looks amazing i found out for my use if you get closer and go a bit slower you get a real nice smooth even paint layer. I was using duplicolor ready to use clear gloss #3 and cut it down more with M.E.T. fast reducer like a third 3rd.
nice work on this one i do have 2 questions why Acetone instead of Spirits and do you know if the Rustoleum has a built in ultra violet blocker ? its been my understanding that is why the manufacturers use a clear coat years ago i lived in South Florida and my Dad rattlecanned a car in red and no clear coat that new paint dulled and faded to almost a orange in a few weeks so the car wound up looking worse than the factory sun damaged paint job the paint was a no brand name and was labeled as Acrylic Enamel ?
It's all about the wet sanding!!
Ive always wanted to try rusoleum in a airless sprayer exept with the one with the separate airpump.
I painted several cars with a Graco TrueCoat 360 DSP Electric paint gun, I was gonna buy one of these Harbor Freight cheapies a while back but ended up buying the Graco instead. Its the same however in that you just have to thin out the paint a lot and you get better results and less orange peel. If its only 20 bucks I might as well get one as a back up or for smaller projects, it looks like it works just fine to me.
Love the video! I have the same idea of painting my van. I plain on painting it with the Rustoleum 7771 Sand color. Since it's a lighter then the gray you used, do you think it the orange peel will show up less?
If I bought candy red already mix with hardner and use this gun would I have to thin it or it's good to go
Hey James! Thanks so much for the shoutout! ✊😎
I wonder what was happening to that electric spray gun. It could be an awesome solution for anyone who wants to start spraying, but doesn't have an air compressor.
Great job! 👍 even after all that orange peel, you left a nice surface with a high gloss finish. 💯💯
Thanks man and no problem! I was gonna message you but you got right on this video! Figured i would give you a plug you deserve more viewers.
hi awesome vid, just one question, instead of acetone can I use paint thinner? would it melt? and can I use anzahl paint?
I just bought same paint sprayer @ HF. The instruction pamphlet that came w/it were pretty lacking so I came looking for videos. Pretty Good Video - Thanks!
Mkd Happy to help!
Thinking about doing this to my Odyssey or Turbo black gloss still can decide. What would you recommend?
I’d love to see you do a video like this with the Dip Your Car sprayer. With its spray pattern and atomization I think you would get great results.
David L I will try to some time!!
I want to do this to my pt cruiser. I now have a garage to do it in. What's the glossier color without clear
That's exactly what I was asking about on that other video man awsome job and thanks for all the videos if your ever in dallas hmu I got some coronas for ya!!
There was a hell of a lot of orange peel! BUT....... its a really good and cheap option for beater cars. I really enjoyed the video actually, please do more of these! I'm interested to see how good a final finish you can get for the least amount of money.
I decided to go the rattle can route on my own car after trying the Rusto roller paint job on a beater work truck (not worth it imo...) but one thing I noticed from breaking open a can of Rustoleum that clogged somewhere and draining the paint out was the spraycan Rustoleum is actually super duper thin compared to the actual paint in a can like in this video. I use that Rustoleum in my trade for various things like painting metal heaters, doors, and that kind of thing. I noticed brushing on the spray can Rustoleum was that I had no brush marks with it, despite brushing it, because it was so thin and full of solvents. I think honestly instead of 1:1 paint and thinner you might be better off with a ratio of about 2:1 or 1.5:1, I think even 1:1 is too thick, though obviously at that ratio you'd be two or three coating anyway.
GilBatesLovesyou Yea my first coat was 1:1 my 2nd coat it was too thick I didn’t go 1:1. It actually sprayed a lot better thinned out. But I’m still experimenting with it.
Dude thanks for the help
Is this better than a spray can? Can you use the same spray for a clear coat...also for the primer?
I have a cheap electric gun, I only do small projects and no room in my tiny under 6’x6’ for a compressor. I’m really pleased with my results as I tend use: “a grinder and paint to make me the welder I ain't." What can I say? I'm a newbie apprentice weekend warrior.
I just wish we had Harbour Freight here in the U.K.
You Made My Year Brother! ill Shpw you Befores and Afters once i start painting within a few weeks
Infiniite - Awesome 😎
u even used the color im doin! wat are the odds! BEST DAY EVER
Infiniite - Haha epic!
How long does this method take the paint to dry?
Thanks again for your help
So that rustoleum gallon is high gloss even though is doesn't say high gloss on the package? the pints say gloss but the gallon doesnt, hmmm
God bless you. Not bad. You weren't trying to go to a show room or anything. many people dont understand that!
Do you know of any similar spray guns that are cordless/battery instead of plug in??
How many types of paints hoy can use whit this gun?
Can you use any single stage paint
Can you use this gun to spray bedliner
Can we use this gun for raptor liner?
Wow that's some nice gloss! I'm interested to see the final product when you get the mixture right and add a hardener and spend the time making sure the orange peel is taken care of... It'll look good I'm sure! I think I might stick with trying the spray can, seems like it might be less orange peel but if this turns out better then maybe I'll try it too haha
zachm611 Yes spray can has way less orange peel for sure. I’m going to be messing around with settings and experimenting so I can get the best results before doing it to the car. Most my issue with the paint being too thick. It needed thinned and hardener added
@@JamesDguy I imagine using an airgun might yield better results but I honestly wouldn't know lol. Thanks for sharing the videos, some of us are learning with/from you. You are pretty detailed in your videos compared to some others who just say do it like this or that so I appreciate it
zachm611 I’m till experimenting
I had one of those paint guns it stopped working not even an hour into painting ! I'm surprised it lasted long enough for one trunk lid !
Can i use that sprayer with plasti dip ?
Could i paint a chevy blazer with one gallon of rustoleum if i dilute like you did?? Thanks for the help.
Nice im about to do this soon same method to paint a front bumper on my truck glad i saw your vid
Where did you buy the paint
I’m surprised how it turned out. Wet sanding with a dual action polisher on large flat surfaces always helps. Sounds like a tattoo gun lol.
Slade The Original I thought the same thing 😂😂😂
I was thinking of using the spray can, but for me and correct me if I'm wrong, it would need alot of paint cans for my 93 300d Mercedes. So I was thinking of buying maybe a gallon and doing it with the electric gun. Don't care much about orange peel, because what the car looks like now compared to what it would look like with some orange peel my wife would love it😁😁
Great video like always 👍👍
Thanks!
If I wanted to apply clear coat would I wet sand the paint before using clear? Or apply clear over the orange peeled paint and wet sand the clear?
From what i have heard you can add a Urethane hardener and it acts like a clear coat making this UV protected and even more of a shine. Which is what im going to do when i do the whole car
Wet sand the base 600 grit then clearcoat...the paint will look flawless afterwards
What was the nozzle size of this gun?
I need help here... well we in europe or in my country - we dont have rustoleum paint and I just dont know what is that paint - is that that "old" way how they make paints - that paint who need like two days to dry ? We have some paint like that here - we call them "oil" based paint, also on nitro base (that one drys very fast).... if someone can tell me more about this I would be really happy ! :) Thanks in advance...
Uroš Petrović This paint is Rustoleum oil based paint. It didn’t take 2 days to dry it took a few hours in the sun but to be cured enough to buff I waited another day.
Electric spray guns are a lot of work with constant cleaning etc. Had one many years ago & it did work but complications during use were a recurring problem.
Nice job
Could I use it to spray clear?
Thanks!
So me shine. Have same buffer & compound. Did my Mirage but has hail stone damage but it shined Ok even in a so so effort.
That is the paint my dsm is painted with it looks pretty good after I wet sanded and buffed it and it is holding up well
Heck ya! I might do the car out of this gun or the harbor freight spray gun not sure yet but i know i have had more issues with the spray gun than this thing lol.
@@JamesDguy I used a pneumatic paint gun from harbor freight turned out great still a little orange peel though
That's awesome. What spray gun do you use that you get good finish??
I would use the bigger nozzles gives you a wider area too spray with and probably less orange peel too
You should hit up Rustoleum and maybe they'll hook you up with one of those new turbine type paint gun systems. Just a thought -- the worst they can say is no.
I have tried hitting them up they say "we are not sponsoring anyone at this time". I will try again though for sure!
@@JamesDguy Try Westwood, the company that makes the turbine paint systems directly.
Keep up the great work man. Word soon gets around to the corporate types and hopefully soon they'll be tripping over themselves to sponsor you 😉😉😉
looks nice
Not bad at all 👍 Nothing wet sanding cant handle. Harbor freight has a electric hvlp setup that I'd like to try out. Seen some pretty good results with it and also good results from the gun you're using
Dre M I wanna try that too. Maybe once I get money I’ll try with that!
Whats it called?
If you do this again bud try to look for a different gun. A slight upgrade to a $75 Wagner Home decor spray station would probably give a much better result. Loving the content !
roadsterguy79 Thanks. I am just doing what I can afford for the time being. Ima mess around with this gun before moving on that way I can say I tried my hardest before giving up on it.
I like your idea...
How long does it last? greetings from Argentina
Pretty interesting paint method. Loving the results tho
Thanks! With some more wet sanding and buffing it would look so good! I figured why not give it a go!
I preferred when you use the spray cans better. But is good you do this video so we can see the difference. Nice color choices.
Jocelyn Jossy Ayala Thanks I’m not done with spray cans so don’t worry! 😁
Can you do a video where you put a 2k clear coat on the trunk?
You have convinced me to buy the electric spray gun
I painted my Nissan Sentra with shame spray gun 3 years ago
What type of paint you can use whit this gun?
@@tonyvwmk3640 just get any spray can turn it upside down and open it up with a can opener. As that's the best paint.
@@Cookie.x.monsterr you've gotta be taking the piss
@@henrygreaves4962 no. That's what Ferrari do to there cars.
With that amount of orange peel, I would’ve started wet-sanding with a handful of jagged rocks! Lol
Wet sand with 1 grit 😂
Hi Guys,
Great video again.
Are you always meant to use the cutting compound after the spray and before the clear coat?
Sorry for my stupid question.
Cheers
Dublin Plumbing I only use the wet sanding when there is a lot of orange peel but I don’t buff/compound before clear coat but I have no intentions to clear this because it’s pretty strong.
@@JamesDguy thanks bro. Gonna try the bonnet on my truck today..
I just watched a little bit of the video and I wanted to ask do you prefer the spray can or the machine?
gary salas It’s a 50/50 for me I prefer can during winter time due to not drying as fast so the paint comes out flawless but in the summer I prefer this because it don’t dry fast but after it’s done and out in the sun it’s easy to dry it quickly and achieve a nice finish.
GT performance is a good channel.i can’t believe you got this with an electric sprayer.do you think if the paint was a lil thinner it would have layed better?
Yes with it thinned out some it would have been much smoother 100%
Can you go over this with a 2k clear coat? Would that remove the orange peel?
Chris Cardinale I won’t be doing 2k over this since single stage don’t require a clear coat. If I wet sand the paint better I can get rid of all the clear coat which I might do since it’s been requested. Single stage with hardener in it doesn’t require clear because it has a uv protected hardener.
Hey thanks for the video. Probably a stupid question but do you need a compressor to run this with or is it built in the gun?
@书中自有黄金屋 I'm sorry but where does it say "airless"? The noise sure sounds like a compressor that's why I was asking. Are you 100% there's no compressor involved?
@书中自有黄金屋 If you look at 9:21, is that a compressor in the floor (lower right of frame)?
Would you recommend using the gun for clear as well?
Xcentric Lithium I am still experimenting
Dont know why you wouldnt just use the cans so no clean up or mixing . Do know you did it just to try it . Would you clear it after the color coat and wet sand?
I would add the Urethane hardener which acts like a clear for this single stage making it even more shiny and proven to last 15 yrs.I personally have seen it with my own eyes when added with the hardener on a tractor and its still shiny to this day but used with a gun.
thanks
So would you prefer this gun or spray cans? If you do great prep work and stuff would spray can be better?
Bryce Peters I prefer spray can currently BUT I figured out why the orange peel was so bad 😂 the paint needed thinned out more it was too thick 🤦🏻♂️
So you gonna play with it alil more to see which is better for sure, love your videos and plan on painting my 2001 z71 white soon.
Does your friend with the Eclipse have a channel?
802 Garage he does but he don’t do videos or anything.
Ah. He should. :P
Damn... so that gun basically does a Jackson Pollock and pitches paint at stuff. Gnarly.... What is cure time... a year?
Great video thanks for taking the time to show us novice painters what's up
what type of clear coat did you use to its not scrachable ? where do they sell it at? if its not 2k clear
jesse flz This don’t have clear coat in it ^ it’s not required. When used with hadener it becomes uv resistant and won’t chip or fade. Single stage is awesome stuff.
Moore Motorsports James Dguy what harnerr? they sell jt at walmart?
jesse flz Tractor supply or paint shops. Oreillys should sell it in their paint shop. It’s urethane hardener
#SprayGunLikeDGuy
Hey what's up kool video what color are you using on the car again? The pad you used is from harbor freight as well. Hey what about hardener from the magic can.
Rudy Flores I’m going to be going Gloss smoke grey and the buffer pad is the yellow foam one from harbor freight. What is the magic can?
from Tractor supply they have clear and hardener you use with Rustoleum @@JamesDguy
Rudy Flores Yes they have it at tractor supply
Nice
Hey what gardener would you use on rustoleum paint to
Daniel Partida i use cheap tractor supply hardener
What's the name of the hardener I want to buy some this week to finish this car off. It's taking forever to do it the spray can way for me because I have to do it in sections. So I guess I will have half spray can and the other from a can
Harbor Freight always making it Harbor great.
Great job bro ! Really, unbolievable .... Do you even get that this look better than most cars - new cars ! wow after buffing.... And Im thinking to do like this: 1.paint. 2. wet sanding 1000, 1500, (maybe 2000) 3. clearcoat. 4. buffing... But I have to find out what paint I can use - that is really a big problem for me at this moment... well there is just one thing and way to find right one - to try... I already did try some water based (acrylic) but I tried to paint with roller - result was terrible because of bubbles ....
Uroš Petrović I would find a oil based paint. No clear would be required if you thin it with acetone and if you add enamel hardener because that makes the paint super strong
my comment is im going to harbor freight in the morning lol
Once again a great video my friend!! Wish it was done with gloss grey rustoleum spray paint because that’s what I want to do but great content man and I will definitely get the courage to paint my eg hatch!! Thanks man for yet another great vid!!
christian dayrit I will be painting with the gloss grey spray paint still don’t worry!
Moore Motorsports James Dguy yes!! Awesome my friend I can not wait again for this video. That’s what I want to see before I paint my hatch!!! You’re the best bro!
Thin it out more and grab a paint strainer it'll go on better,paint strainers are cheap too so bonus
Chris E For sure it did need more thinned out
whats orange peel?
Holy
Orange
Peel
!!!
Hey I really enjoy your paint can videos. Where you located? I’d love to have my car painted by you. Ima. Huge fan!
Kevin Andrade Near killeen texas
Moore Motorsports James Dguy awh! I’m all the way I’m NY. Shoot. I was really hopping you would be closer but keep up the good work man! Your videos and results are amazing!
Kevin Andrade Thanks. I have another one coming out hopefully tonight or tomorrow
So do you think it’s worth me trying to paint my car with an electric paint gun?
The spray can method seems cheaper, with less orange peel in my opinion, based on your other videos
Right yea less orange peel for sure. Still not sure which method im going to use. I know i wanna use the can under the hood because it would be harder to wet sand out the imperfections on that area.
@@JamesDguy true, seems like the best option, I'm considering painting and modifying the exterior of my red TL, because the car has too many things that need attention, so if im going to spend so much money making it run like new, I might as well go all the way in and make it look like new too before I sell it. That way the next person to get it wont have to do anything to it but enjoy it.
Man I remember your sentra videos and the green and black turbo civic videos, seem like so long ago lol
Duplicolor with 2K please!
Yea man!
I've done this before, but my HF electric is so damn noisy. This technique is great for construction, farm, fleet etc. equipment.
HF would make a ton of money if there was a top feed electric spray gun.
stephen hunter Right i am impressed with how it does. I have used these to paint houses before and it’s good stuff. I figured out if I dilute it a little more and add hardener it will actually spray a lot better with less orange peel. So ima do the entire civic using this method. I’m exited to see how it will turn out
@@JamesDguy can't wait to see those results!
