👍🏾 Great job it looks great!
Great info and response from you sir. Got a new sub. Keep up the great content.
Thank you!
Thanks for making this video.
I’m glad you appreciated it. Sub to show support
That wide fan from a HF gun was insane. Great vid.
Thanks!!
i had be wondering about this. i painted my truck couple years ago using rustoleum then i sanded it and gave it patina look. this time around i have a more time / space to actually base coat clear coat it. after seeing this i def. thanks for info..
No problem! Best of luck on the project!
Been waiting for a quality video like this. Thanks man! Been watching your vids on repeat for my job I am doing this evening!
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate the feedback! Goodluck on your project.
Always dampen/ wet the ground/floor in the garage before spraying to reduce dust contamination as you walk around and/or a breeze whistles through the garage.
Is rustoleum a lacquer?
Enamel
Been doing this with a spray bottle before painting for a few years ,and I've definitely noticed a difference even with spray cans.
Usually I'm doing small parts that are large enough to see that stupid dirt speck right in the middle. 😂
I painted a fiberglass boat with krylon fusion 5x adhesion and waited 2 days i thought it was enough time to dry and dulled it with 600 grit wet sand. I put on a urethane 2 part clear coat and within 5 minutes it started to wrinkle...i was extremely sadened.
Now i understand that some base coat paints such as this krylon and Rust-Oleum spray can paints need at least 30 days to fully cure...hard lesson learned.
Ouch. Yah these things take forever to really dry. Did you end up respecting it again?
@@BulliKid Just wet sanded it down with 320 grit and i wil wait till spring 2023. Thanks for sharing you inputs!
@@BulliKid The only reason i used this Krylon fusion because of how well it adheres to most surfaces and the yellow sunbeam color is awesome.
Thank you for the information..👍👍

Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Always use the SLOWEST hardener, and reducer, that you can get away with. Even if it means it takes a little longer for it to flash between coats, the slower the reducer/hardener, the more time the paint has to "flow" and settle leaving a much flatter surface. Also, in the event you are painting with the gun too far away from the surface, a slower reducer/hardener can help reduce the orange peel and dry spot issues... to a degree. It is AWESOME that you were able to clear coat the Rustoleum paint. I'd be interested to see how long it will last on a daily driver that is exposed to the sun every day.. Only one way to know for sure-I gotta try it!
Try it and let us know. Just make sure the rustoleum fully dries before adding clear. Seems like at times it can take for ever to fully dry. May be weeks.
yah for a booth. outside or garage its kinda dirty and you might want to go faster
This is good stuff! I have some testing I will need to do myself with a few products I have. Plan to do rustoleum clean metal primer, then their farm and implement paint mixed with some acrylic catalyst. I'd like to 2K clear over that. I'm hoping I don't run into too many different reactions or paint peel. I also have some epoxy primer I may try instead of the rustoleum clean metal primer.
I am thinking about doing this with the catalyst and rusty metal primer. How did your tests come out?
very nice and shiny
:) indeed
Thanks for the answer
Thanks! Like the video to show support.
I just want to say thank you!! I went for it and prepped and. Painted my crv rustoleum glossy grey. I went with 3:1 ratio and I did get a lot orange peel but over all i love the way it came out. Hopefully i can remove some of the orange peel with wet sand but if not its ko.
Awesome!!!! Glad to hear that. Watch my buffing video. It made the paint look much better. Did you clear coat your or just the paint?
@@BulliKid Im following your advice of waiting some time before throwing the clear, and i will be wet sanding before clear.
You should definitely sand it. The clear on the unsanded side will peel for sure. Single stage urethanes can be clear coated when still fresh without sanding, the recommended flash times vary but its anywhere from 1 to 3 hours afer spraying the single stage. Single stage enamels like rustoleum can be clear coated but must be fully cured and must be scuffed to get proper adhesion
Thanks boss!
Well also you could tell there was more clear coming out with the part on it's side, but the part laying down you could see less spray coming out. The clear was not coming out of the canister when he angled the gun, but with it up straight there was more to come out. Ronnie.
@@brdnsky6417 that doesnt matter with what I'm talking about. Even if the clear looks good on both sides, the side thats unsanded will start to peel. Clear coat needs something to grip in to.
@@stax6057 I agree you should always sand before put down any paint. Ronnie.
What grids of sand paper do you use to sand the single stage enamel rust oleum before applying the 2k clear coat .
Don't forget the destructive adhesion test after reading cure. Give it a month then do the test.
Nice job

This video help alot thanks
You welcome!
Watching you paint makes me crazy🤦♂️😂
great job my ? is answer.thanks.
Perfect!
Paused halfway - I don't see the clear wrinkling (blisteing) at all! I bought some color change out the spray bomb from Walmart. Last night, I cut my trunk jam in... Went to look this morning and it looks crazy good! Looking straight on it's a heavy metallic blue. Look down across and it turns into a deep purple. Only thing is it's super super thin and you have to fog it on basically.... It's wild because being so thin one pass looks covered! You have to use a black base... My base isn't even paint. It's flat black primer! I'm going to let the aerosol out the cans and punch a hole in it and pour into the spray gun... I'll let it dry completely. Scuff the car with a scotch bright pad and use a universal clear... Because being I have to fog it on, it's not having a shine. It dries super fast and it's been 90-100⁰ this week so you can imagine... But I'm going outside now to tape off everything so I can do a test run on the trunk lid...... But I could not believe how much of a shift it does for it being a spray can paint from Walmart! 6 cans should complete it so that's about $70 and then I think the clear kit is $150 PPG Acme
Thanks for sharing
No problem thanks for the comment
What grids should i sand after primer, after rustoleum to get ready for clear? Thanks for the info
Nice 👌
Great video kiddo
Thanks !!
good job boss thanks
hey thanks!
Hard to believe how we learned anything before CZcams!
Exactly!!
In the 1960s. Dad, learned all his autobody work from reading hot rod magazines.
ty!
No prob!
What about the “oil based Professional” Rustoluem primer?
Yeah but how’s the adhesion? That’s why you rough up glossy surfaces, for adhesion!
U can avoid wrinkles with these thinner clears as u dnt need to add any reducer to thin it out...the reducers are why causes alot of the reactions in these enamels
Good tip. Thank you.
I agree,,depending on clearcoat if it can be shot without adding anything it will save you tons of issues,,been painting 40 years,,,so much new out there now but even 40 years ago we tried to keep additives at a minimum unless it was very cold and we needed paint to cure quickly
Hi bulli - I have 4 wheels primed and lastly sprayed with rustoleum high performance enamel but they've been sitting at the shop for almost a week now, If I sprayed 2k on it --- think I won't get a weird reaction? -Enjoyed the video thank you!
I would give it some more time 1 week may be pushing it.
So I just did the roof of my car, had some paint peeling off. Sanded it down with 320 grit than applied the primer and let it dry. Applied 3 coats of base and wet sanded it down just to remove rough patches. My question is could you apply a couple of coats of Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2x ultra cover gloss clear and than the 2k clear for a final coat ? On a budget is, there reason I am asking.
Yes I can. Just wait a few days before the 2k clear. Otherwise you will have a bonding reaction.
Thank you for this demonstration. Had some questions in mind. Biggest of all is how long does the gloss last on the car if the car sits in the exposed sun all year long? And did the paint stick on the nonsanded surface or did it flake over time?
I can tell you that the Rustoleum safety red will fade in the sun in a few months, but it'll shine right up again when you wax it. I've painted 3 vehicles with it, and same result.
Maybe putting a 2k clear over it will make it last a lot longer.
You put a bigger fluid nozzle and air cap on that gun but you didnt put the needle to match. Small needle big hole can be a problem.
It’s the same size needle and cap. 1.4
FYI the Harbor Freight $15.99 purple gun is NOT the same as the $29.99 Harbor Freight purple gun that comes with a regulator, different stats on the box the $15.99 is 6cfm at 40psi but the $29.99 one is 12cfm at 45psi, they look just alike until you look very close but they are not so maybe that is why your guns are different? My $29.99 one with the regulator has all the extra holes like your new one.
Hmm interesting. Thanks for that information. New one is much better. I also have the silver one from HF but have not used it.
My understanding is you should spray the clear soon after painting the rustoleum. Sometimes if you wait too long it will react. This is just what I've learned from another channel that has painted several cars with rustoleum and put 2k clear over it
sinformant hmm. I think that’s a bad idea. I spoke with youtuber barbas life and he had wrinkles and a reaction after painting 2k clear over Rustoleum Shortly after. Rustoleum takes a long time to flash off and those solvents need time to escape from the oil based paint. Unless it all depends on the 2k clear coat someone uses.
@@BulliKid I myself haven't had luck with rustoleum. I've done clear right after basecoat and had it wrinkle up. I've also let it cure for over a week and sprayed the clear and as soon as the clear hit it the basecoat wrinkled up. Did it the same way again and it worked just fine, but ypu could just flake the paint off with your fingernails. I removed all the paint with a blowgun on a compressor and just went the krylon route and it worked.
Hmm interesting. What solvent were you using with the Rustoleum to thin it out?
@@BulliKid it was just out of a rattle can. That majic brand I had zero issues with it reacting
I just had this issue the other day I was spraying 2k clear over my rustoleum gloss black paint and it wrinkled up almost immediately. Really don’t know what caused the issue. I let the black paint dry for 3-4 days
Thanks for your content. I’m painting a small bmx bike with rustoleum spray cans (primer and color) and using a spraymax 2k clear. I just shot 2 coats primer with about 2 minutes in between and then 3 color coats with about 2 minutes in between. I think I’ll wait about a week before trying the 2k and what grit sandpaper should I use on the color coat?
Longhorn84 thanks for watching. I would use 600-800 and then clear.
i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Ahmad Zayn Instablaster ;)
@Guillermo Brett Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Guillermo Brett it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
Great video. I recently shot rusto metallic (primed first) then 2k clear all from rattle can and had 3 different results lol no idea how. One section came out perfect one section bubbled and peeled like plastic and another had white haze how could I get these using the same technique and timing
That is weird you got 3 different results. Did you paint on same day same weather?
I did the same thing, I believe the videos showing 2k over rustoleum metallic state about 10 minutes drying between coats. It's not enough time. I believe the peeling is from the paint still gassing. I have shot 2k clear with mixed metal flake over rustoleum topside marine paint (shot with 2:1 acetone and 6% hardener) after 24 hours drying, no problems at all and came out beautiful!!!
I always wet sand my paint before clear coat
Hello i have a question i just sprayed turbo paint on a project i was working on was planning on adding 2k high gloss not sure if i should wet sand base coat then add clear or let it sit for a few days then add clear or just respray base again and add clear 45 after spraying what would you do ? I just don’t want to add clear and for it to wrinkle up
I would wait few weeks. Make sure it’s bone dry. And then wetsand. And then clear.
I plan on painting a car with rust oleum and using a hardener/ catalyst should I still wait a week to clear it or clear it after the paint
Yes I would wait
Hows the life on that upol clear? Is it any good as far as durable shine any die back? NICE VIDEO 🤘
Well it’s not bad. However 2 headlight restorations I did , it’s started to yellow and chip. About 2-3 years.
I wish I’d used Rustoleum on my project cuz a quart with hardener and the other stuff I can’t remember were $180!!
Did you go single stage?
@@BulliKid Right. Turned out good
glad to hear. Painting a entire car with Rustoleum would be pain because it takes so long to dry between coats letting much contamination from environment to settle into the paint.
@@BulliKid Right I was doing fiberglass body parts for a formula Ford race car
so one has the orange peel effect the other was sanded to remove orange peel, and with the clearcoat it didn't matter at the end?
The main point was to see if 2k clear coat will stick to a non sanded surface. And results were that it sticks
I'd love to see you bend and flex the panel to really see
great video. So does the 2K clear will give the Rustoleum UV protection?
Thank you. Yes it will! Also much more durable to the outdoor environment.
Rustoleum topside marine paint ($16 a quart) is supposedly UV safe, also the professional ($11 quart) is supposed to be like the marine just rebadged (what I read).
I found this video just in time. Have you had any issues with upol over Rust-Oleum in the past year?
I have only used it over Rustoleum in this video. But went on well and no reaction.
@@BulliKid thank you brother that clears up my question on it.
And the orange peel ? You can wet sand on top de 2k clear coat and polish and that will be it ?
Yes I have a video of polishing the rustoleum.
What size compressor do you have? I only have a pancake 6 gallon myself and I'm wondering if that's enough to spray a bumper cover.
I believe this was a gallon
I recently painted my plastic center caps with dupli-color paint and than used dupli-color clear coat. I didn't get the shine I wanted, so can I use the spray max 2k clear coat in a can over the dupli-color clear coat or should i have to remove the dupli-color clear off first.
I would sand the hubs with 600 ~800 first. Then 2k clear
@@BulliKid Wouldn't that leave scratches in the paint ?
Yes but once you clear it, the clear coat fills the scratches.
I bought the spectrum hte pro and had the same problem with the fan adjustment.
What was your problem exactly
@@BulliKid The fan adjust is max pattern and no adjusting does anything.
I would take it back.
With rustoleum spray paint am I able to spray on my clear onto 1 week old paint? Or do I have to sand the week old base coatdown with 600 grit reapply a coat of base over top then spray on the clear coat?
I would wait way longer then 1 week.
When setting your HVLP spray gun aside for 20 minutes that's filled with Rustoleum...... Is there anything special i should do to keep the gun from clogging while sitting?
Nothing that I know off!
After done spraying the first coat hold trigger to spray just air through the tip to help clean the paint out between coats wipe spray tip with rag and thinner
How much should I let the clear coat cure if you know by any chance 😅
It’s like 10 min between coats and. It’s cured to the touch in like 30 mins after last coat on a hot day.
what compressor are you using ? i want to get a home set up but i dont know what compressor to buy or specs i need
Vic M I have a video on picking the right compressor on myplaylist. I think that video will answer all your questions I have been getting great feedback from that video. Thanks
@@BulliKid the compressor kicked on so early . For a small job there should have been enough pressure to do the entire job without much compressor drain. Given you have a 40 Gal. Don't keep the compressor inside the garage, It is the cause of dust particles. Also the two fans at the bottom of the door, I imagine are sucking away the paint fumes and blowing toward street. Sanded vs unsanded: sanding give the clear coat more grip. not sanding may be affected by hail and sun, chipping away and flake on a vehicle. May not matter if not exposed to elements.
Get one atlest min24 gallon heavy duty but higher will be better im using now 60 gallon .its just perfect for painting and for changing wheels
Your videos are very informative. I'm looking into using the SprayMax 2K for a project I am doing. Can I use Dupli Color jet black as a base coat and spray the 2 k over without any issues? I believe the Dupli Color is a lacquer. Also looking at the Rust-Oleum Studio Color Black, Interior + Primer Eggshell Finish. I would appreciate your input on this fam.
It’s worth a shot. Just give it a few mins before you spray the clear to limit any potential negative reactions between clear and base
@@BulliKid thanks for responding fam.....Which base are you referring to, the Dupli Color, or the Rust-Oleum? 🤔
I meant to say weeks not mins. Haha
Either one as long as you give it enough time to air out. On rustoleum especially.
@BULLI KID Perfect! Thanks fam!!
One last question fam. Can I spray 2k clear over acrylic paint?
I’m not working on a car, I’m actually restoring a tool. Can I put some more enamel over the piece that already has clearcoat on it? I don’t like the way it looks, it’s not bubbling, so is it safe to paint over the clearcoat with some more Rustoleum enamel?
If you sand it a bit first. Allow the pint tot stick.
What grit did you sand the top coat with? Wet or dry?
I believe it was 800
What happens if I add the urethane clear coat like 1 hour after I apply the rustoleum paint??
Will probably lift the paint.
Do you get over spray on everything in garage? You must have same compressor I do. Ear splitting.
yes i do
I don't see any different. They are equally good.
Correct. But the sanded part will last longer most likely.
I just painted a truck with acylic enamel single stage . Do I need to wet sand it before using a 2k clear coat ? It’s been about 3 days since I painted it . It’s a metallic blue paint and it’s not very glossy . Was very hot that day
It would be best practice to sand it down for the 2k to stick the best.
@@BulliKid thank you for the quick response ! Your vids are always very helpful
@@crazee6821 thank you and best of luck on the project.
Nice 👍. Just sub
Thanks
How has this held up over time??
well the bumper just sat so it held up good,
What brand & model spray gun are U using? LPLV guns?
Harbor freight hvlp 1.4 tip
Anyone know if Spray Max 2k clear is safe for Rustoleum enamel color paint? I've had issues that with paint cracking. Even if I went back over it days later with another color coat of the same paint. I only use that paint because it had a particular color I needed. Otherwise, I'll never use it again.
I would make sure it’s dry dry. Like few weeks at least. To be safe you can wet sand the paint and then use the spray max 2k
@@BulliKid This Rustoleum Husqvarna orange enamel is the worst paint I've ever used. I had painted it on my main project, and I think I went a little too thick. Went back out 4 days later and noticed the paint was soft and accidently scratched it. So I sprayed another coating and it all wrinkled.
So had to strip it all off and I unbolted the part so I could lift it up so I could spray thinner coats as I could get to it easier. And that's been several weeks now. But I decided that I should probably clear it. Did research and got some Duplicolor wheel enamel clear matte.
Then with that Rustoleum Husqvarna orange, I painted some test metal pieces and let it sit for a week. Then sprayed a thin coat of clear. Then sprayed a 2nd thin coat and it cracked the paint on my test pieces.
So I thought either just not clear coating my project piece, or getting some 2k clear and testing it on a painted test piece to see if it cracks the color coat.
@@colt5189 I spray painted an engine bay and had some similar problems. The next time I used Rustoleum I did it in a spray gun with a catalyst hardener, that came out look much better with no wrinkle problems and was dry enough to comfortably handle by the next morning. Also, I had a problem with the paint cracking in the engine bay as well. I think this was due to the temp I was painting in.
Can you use alcohol instead of wax and grease remover ?
Good question. Some people use it. Some use windex. But be careful because it’s the most critical step before the first coat.
Thanks for the information 😊
No problem. Thanks for watching
I use 15 o/o 91 alcohol and the rest water. Works well for me.
👍👍👍👍✌
More air flow so it will atomize
tighten the csrew on the adjustment. the screw did not move when u turned it bro.
It didn’t work with the set up. I was using parts from different guns and adjustment didn’t work.
@@BulliKid i just checked one off mine in the garbage. Cheap ons cant get parts for them . i think iam gonna get a devibliss
Has it held up?
I don’t use this part.
If you paint with oil based paint, you HAVE TO use a oil based clear.
what paper grade did you you to sant prior to apply the clear coat please?
600-800
@@BulliKid I have another important, general question: when you sand paint it takes the shine away; does the clear coat automatically bring it back? thanks
Yes.
Was that oil based paint?
Yes
I want to paint my motorcycle frame, gas tank and fenders at home. What compressor are you using in these videos?
Cheap old 8 gallon
Do you think a 6 gallon pancake would be too little for motorcycle parts? I know the cfm isn't anywhere close. Thanks man
@@theWacoKid1 one way to find out. I think you are ok. Since you are painting small pieces.
@@BulliKidthanks alot for the replies man.
No problem! Best of luck.
I have done it many times.
Any tips?
@@BulliKid Put the rustoleum on thinn cause the clear going to make it shine, first coat of clear put on dry to seal the rustoleum let dry. And than add clear the clear you can wet sand and buff to get awesome shine can't go to fast cause it what's to lift the rustoleum.
Thanks. What clear do you use over it.
thats the way to use a golf caddy lol
Is that oil based or non oil based
Oil based
Spray water on floor. It’ll trap all the debris floating around
your adjustment knob is no longer connected lol the simple explanation is usually correct the cheapest great paint gun you can buy that is high quality is devilbiss flg 5 you wouldnt have these problems lol you must purchase from england but will never have a problem with parts look up sprayguns direct your work will be so much higher quality without effort loved the video comes in multiple tips
Thank you sir. Yes you get what you pay for!
They are different models THAT is why it did not work properly, the older one sells at Harbor Freight for $15.99 the new one for $29.99 but comes with a regulator you can attach if you want, they look just alike until you look very close, they are not 100% interchangeable, on the box they have different requirements for CFM.
Very Good!... 186 🐄🦉🏴☠✝
if you dont sand cured paint the clear will flake off, sanding gives it a bond,
Best practice to sand. Unless it’s a base coat right?
Do you have to buff after sanding it before adding the clear?
The video was about adhesion and if a reaction would occur.
We won't know the first unless another video is made to test and I saw no reaction which starts at drying.
It wasn't about his garage guns or painting capabilities.
Armchair painters always criticize.
WOW nostrainer and that mixing cup holly cow you shoul;d always strain your clear before going into the gun if a piece of hard catalizer gets in yoy cup it might clock it up in the middle of a job not good and alway7 s do a dust coat at first.
Thanks. This piece was for demonstration purposes only so I didn’t mind. But yes always should strain

It should be in the link below.
If your going to use quality clear it makes no since to not buy a cheap urethane based basecoat or a cheap 2k single stage
but if he told you it was automotive paint you'd believe it
best way is to wet down the garage floor bro.
I have heard this trick works really well from some other sources.
@@ColoradoStreaming yeah my dad owned a few shop one he had had booth with a hailon fire supresion system. . kinda off subject butvon at the Same time it had 4, 200 gallon tanls.

To inspect it 1 a year they have to setcthe system off and if i remeber my dad said it wasnt cheap to get rhem refilled well icer a grand a tamk and four tanks . kinda dumb but it works. Lol
Strange, because Rustoleum is oil-based paint and clearcoating over it should give you a lot of fish eyes. The clearcoat is solvent-based and the Rustoleum is oil-based and they shouldn't work together at all.
I clear coat it all the time and never had any issues
It was fish eyed BAD. LOL
Oil based is the same as solvent based lol
@@Adam-fl5wm You realize you just made yourself ass-stupid right?
What do i mix the clear coat with
andre wilson hardener.
Can i use acetone or paint thinner if i dont have any hardener
andre wilson no. Hardener hardens. Acetone or mineral spirits is a reduced. The clear coat will never harden.
So i just add hardener to the clear coat whats the mixing ratio
Depends on the clear coat. Mine was 4:1
Some may be 2:1
Rustolium requires 24 hours between coats.
You mean between clear coat and rustoleum or just between Rustoleum costs
You held the gun way too far and went way too fast and got dry spray.
Well who's going to wait 1yr to finish a job? This doesn't help
rustoleum is enamel, no clear needed
Enamel is nowhere near as durable as a 2k clear over it.
If you were that cheap that you want to clear over Rust-Oleum you need to get a better job
Lol ok
How is this for some crazy shit ,if you are doing cob (clear over base) follow the fucking instructions.
I've seen a lot of replies so I thought I'd throw my two cents in. I have used Rustoleum Professional High Performance oil based Gloss black paint and I mixed it 4 -1 -1 The last being a hardener I let it cure 1 day And shot a very good 2 K Automotive clear coat over it and it came out great and did not wrinkle or have any reactions. I did it before on some Rustoleum Sealer without hardener. And just an hour or so later and it wrinkled and lifted. THE Hardener and One day is the trick.
Why would you do this? Okay you could save a couple of hundred on a gallon of base coat color, but you spent the bucks on automotive clear. And how long is this going to last? Yeah, you can spray it, but should you? NO!!!!
A guy once told me that the paint on the top is no better than the paint underneath.
Budget job. Not ideal.
Your spraying scared..you need to be closer you need min 50%75% over lap your making orange peel from the start cus you moving to fast you a med wet coat... not spray scarced...
Still learning and don’t want it to run. But you are right. Lack of confidence.
@@BulliKid i understand we all where there all are there at one time..
Pro tip... clear coats love higher psi.. also get a good gun....
a amazing gun in amatures hands will make him look like a good painter.
Get a ws400..gun it mists on paint or clear coat amazing... make your clear coat med wet...and dont touch it up untill its flashed and ready for next coat.. golden rule for no runs.
Keep your gun 6"-8"away from your work... or you get orange peeel if your toooooo far.
In the cold weather i mix med and fast reduce for my frist coat of clear... the fast reduce helps tack up..
Secound coat i use med or slow reducer .. so it lay down like glass...
Yes a good gun helps a lot. The fine mist is the key. Out of my budget now and I am not doing any real work but in the future I will def get a better gun and compressor and filter.
never do this real clear will come off in big sheets in about one year lol
Still holding up good. I think if you sand too fine you will have this issue.
@@BulliKid dont let it sit in the sun painted some tractor parts thats what happen with the same 2 products
@@thedevil5544 all the cars I painted last year see sun daily and so far no issues.
I tried this a year ago paint job came out beautiful, but I needed to change some parts on my flip up headlights and I use masking tape (low adhesive autobody tape) and when I pulloff tape sheets of clear coat came off!!! I would not recommend doings this!!!
Did you sand the rustoleum?
