In this video we look at a 2003 Pontiac Vibe and a 1989 Chevy Pick Up C/K series GMT400), both of which got a $300 Rustomeum paint job. We used Tremclad, which is rust-oleum, but in Canada it is branded as Tremclad. Either way, this is a oil based enamel rust paint. For the Vibe we mixed two different blues to get the desired blue we were going for. The Yellow was off the shelf and not mixed with any other color. The paint was mixed 50/50 with reducer and a blob of hardener. Two coats of color, then 12 hours to partially cure, then 3 coats of automotive clear coat. We used a brand called Rouge for our clear coat. The end result was fantastic. If we had just used Rustoleum paint without the clear coat it would have gone foggy and chalky by now. We had a bunch of people asking how does it hold up and this video is to show what results we have and how the paint looks so far. We hope you enjoyed the video and consider subscribing!

A good quality clear-coat and adding hardener to both is really the key to making an alkyd enamel (Rustoleum) paint job hold up. Of course, your climate, how you store your car, and how you use your car will effect how long your paint job will last. Alkyd paints don’t have the UV protection that higher end, modern automotive paints offer. A good clear will somewhat make up for that, however. The bigger issue is that a gallon of Rustoleum isn’t significantly cheaper than the cost of some of the more common, older automotive paint lines available out there and, once you add in the price of hardener and clear that you need to strengthen up the Rustoleum to match the quality of a basic automotive paint, your only real savings might just be measured in convenience (buying your paint at your local hardware or big box store at 9:00 pm on Saturday night) rather than dollars. Rustoleum is likely as good as if not better than some of the cheaper automotive paints (like the quart cans available off the shelve at the box auto parts store) but definitely won’t flow, lay out, or last as well as some high end 2k paints. I say, as long as you at least add tractor paint hardener to alkyd, you’ll come out with some reasonably durable paint. If you only thin it and spray it with no hardener, it will take too long to dry, be too soft once it dries, and really won’t hold up well in “real world” environments so I wouldn’t bother using it unless you really just want some short term color and don’t care about much else.
I used to buy this paint through the Mack Trucks parts department. It was made by Kirker. Was really cheap and held up pretty good. Now all the auto paints I price are crazy expensive. Last time I bought a gallon of Rustoleum it was under 40 bucks
I mean I painted my car with Rustoleum and the total cost was $250 including the price of the gun and tools. That’s pretty cheap.
I still can't believe how shiny it is after 2 YEARS!
Impressive isn't it! Huge difference in longevity with adding the clear coat!
I had an old high school locker that I bought and painted with Tremclad about 6 years ago. I stopped using it in the garage and gave it to a friend. It's sits mounted to the underside of a welding truck exposed to the elements, road grime and salt for 4 years now in Alberta for at least 4 years and it still looks like the day I painted it. I didn't even bother with clear since it was gonna be in my garage. Plus it was red, one of the fadiest and likely to oxidise colours there is.
That's impressive! Also great use for an old locker! We've definitely cut up a few old lockers and turned them into rocker panels haha
Very impressive! if you know how quick car bodies are rusted here in Alberta due to the absurd amount of salt they put on winter streeets. Not driven during winter is usually top selling over mileage.
Thx for sharing - another Rustoleum Rig - I like the ol' Chevy in yellow
Thanks! Ya I think the yellow looks good on it
7 thousand subscribers in about 4 months is absolutely insane!!
Ya its pretty good! Didn't think we'd be this far along
I used Rustoleum yellow on my 1960 Ford pickup about 11 years ago. No clear. The yellow has not faded, dulled yes, but the color is good. Rustoleum orange faded to pink quickly. I used red, orange and yellow flames on my 1939 Ford truck and the orange completely faded away.
Interesting, so the orange seems to fade the worst? That's great the yellowhas held up so well! We've had black fade out on us pretty bad in the past
The old truck still looks sweet as hell nice job guys. all the way from the USA 💯✊👍👍
Thank you very much, it's a tough truck to handle all it's been through! Thanks for watching your northern neighbors! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
YES. the 2K automotive clearcoat makes all the difference in the world.
It really does!
When I hear that accent I think it’s time to drink beers. Thanks for being my Guinea pig boys. I have been using the rust oleum for 15 years, but never knew how clear would lay on it
Happy to be your Guinea pig and your beer-o-clock reminder!
Amazing paint job guys seem like it really works. I wish the tall guy explain more the work that he does.
You are not the first person to ask that, we will try and do another video with more explanation in the future!
I use rusto for painting trains. That shit is tough. Got stuff from 2016 not badly damaged
Really! Thats awesome! Must need a lot of it!
@RustedRides not really man covers great been doing graffiti for over 25 years
Looks good! Keep the silver wheels on the Vibe, they contrast well with the bright blue.
Keep up the good work guys, discovered your channel maybe six months ago, digging what I see!
Thank you, that's really cool. Glad that you like our videos. Really appreciate you watching and supporting!
Back in 1981, I recd my grandmas 67 Fury III sedan - white/blue, w/ a 383 4bbl… she had it for 10 yrs, after my uncle recd a new vehicle for his job and passed his prior work vehicle on to her - she lived in NE PA and suffice it to say the active use of road salt was detrimental to her lower quarter panels and doors - however, to me, this was a huge improvement over the 1972 Toyota Corolla station wagon I had inherited from my older sister as she had moved on the university - I did a 2x/yr white gloss rustolium paint job on it - spring after the winter thaw and during thanksgiving break…I was a master of fine arts w/ the bondo, and the gallon of gloss white - I even went all “midnight auto parts” and procured faux wire wheel covers, and always added the dual tape pinstripe (blue) on both sides… this was in Central NYS, from 1981-1985
Road salt is the WORST! So bad up here in the great white north. Sounds like you had some fun with bondo!
Good ol Canadian boys . I smell 100k in a year . Love the channel !
Thank you very much! 100k, man that woukd be something!
Cool small channel will become yet another sellout hahaha
Love your channel. It’s just a matter of time and your channel will blow up with subscribers. It’s one of the most real channels out there. There are tons of channels on CZcams with guys rebuilding cars with the best of equipment and parts where money is no object. You guys rebuild them with basic tools that most people already have and in a cluttered small shop, not an expensive dream shop. I loved how cam said he wasn’t spending $600 a piece for the charger rocker panels and built them out of old metal shelving. Now that’s craftsmanship. My only gripe with your channel is that I’m all caught up with the videos and I have to wait till you make more. lol awesome job. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much for such a nice comment! We have been very surprised and happy with how fast our channel has grown. We hope it continues, it would be nice to be able to spend more time on the channel and upload more! Thanks again and we will try to keep the videos coming!
I'm here for the buffet vlog. Glad to see you guys grow. Keep up the hard work!
Haha thank you! Thank you for the support!
Proof a superior top coat can be a real hero.
Killer job on the truck. If he hadn't pointed out it was a newer bed it would be tough to see that.
Ya the body line is lined up and doesn't look out of place until it's pointed out. Turned out pretty good!
Good eyes,
Have several GMT400
rigs, how was the mount ?
Did it align with holes ?🤔
Always look forward to seeing what you do next. Both those paint jobs look brilliant. Hope you can reach your 10.000 and beyond. 👍👍👍
Thank you! Appreciate you watching the videos and hopefully we do keep going to 10k and beyond!
Both look great, will keep it in mind.
Thank yo very much! Ya its a good option to keep costs down
recently painted a set of rims with rustoleum (local EU version). looks incredible, no complaints whatsoever.
Nice! Was it steel rims? Every few years the steel rims that our snow tires are on need to be sprayed. The road salt is so hard on them
@@RustedRides yep, steel. summer use only. hope they last a while - i didn't use a 2K clear - but if not it's ridiculously easy to respray. the paint is called CombiColor here.
I've used the tremclad on an older mazda that the paint was peeling i fixed some rust and fine lined it and left the old top silver and the lower half where it was peeling and had rust i did a black. And yes i did use hardener on it worked like a charm. Like the chanel and the content from your neighbor in Winnipeg😁👍
That's great! Good way of saving money! We've been planning on doing a Mazda on the channel actually. A few things to do first but we really want to try working on a rotary. Tha KS for watching and commenting! 🇨🇦👍
Excellent job guys !
Thank you very much!
Great work - heavy TPB feel to this video
Another great one guys
Thank you very much!
NICE LOOKING PAINT JOBS AAAAA WATCHING YOU FROM THE OLD 🇺🇸 USA NEIGHBOR
Hey! Thank you very much! Glad you found our videos, and happy to have you as our neighbor! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Those paint jobs look really nice!
Thank you very much! It's a good technique that we've done a handfuof times and are happy with the results!
Great job guys !
Thank you! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
It's booming. I'm betting 100k subscribers are just around the corner. If someone wanted to learn how to fix up their Rusted Rides this is the channel to follow.
Thank you very much! Very nice of you to say! The 100k subs will be more than a cake and a buffet!
Awesome dude! I am in Ontario so I obviously a Tremclad man...thanks for the insight...I'm gonna do my old Silverado 2500
Right on! 🇨🇦. Ya we have had good luck and results using this method. The clearcoat we used is called "Rouge". Should be able to get it at a paint and body supply shop. We get ours at Baseline Fender and Supply in Sutton
@@RustedRides I cant go go there...too many old girlfriends in that area!...lol...but yes we have a couple good body shop suppliers here in Barrie.
@@cgindustrial1859haha, ok, steer clear! But ya I'm sure there is a shop in barrie that can get their hands on "Rouge"
Looks awesome!
Thank you! It's holding up nicely!
Hell of a job.
very nice! thanks for sharing
Thank you very much for watching and for the comment!
Looks great! He did some good work.
Thank you! Ya a lot went into that truck, but he's had it a long time and knows it inside and out
I like that they have the same fashion sense
3:30
It's the Canadian uniform!
Nice and yellow
He has had that truck blue and white, he had it red and black, he has had it falling apart too haha. The yellow does pop!
Please tell me he’s not faking the accent. Its incredible.
Haha, nope, all Canadian! 🤘🇨🇦
@@RustedRides reminds me of a former Red Wings player - maybe Stevie Y? Nice job on the paint. I’m impressed.
I was thinking Tom Green.
They’re Canadian you tit. I hate when people say stuff like faking an accent. If it’s really coming out of your mouth it’s not fake. There is no such thing as a fake accent. The way you talk is how you talk. You can talk any way you want.
I'm investing in this channel. You guys are awesome.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it! We have some really cool videos/projects on the way!
Great video !!
Thank you so much!!
Love the channel and what you guys are doing. Keep it up boys!
Thank you! We have some cool videos in the works!
Impressive
Thank you!
LUVED that blue Vibe - subscribed !!!! : )
Thank you! Did you find the full video for the vibe?
@@RustedRides Yes! Watched it all! : )
Looks great, I once painted my old Ford Topaz with Tremclad & it lasted longer & better then I thought it would.
Did you say that at 10K you'd mail each subscriber a peace of cake? Good, I love cake!
Haha maybe we'll find a bakery chain that we can get sponsored for each subscriber to get a piece of cake!
Thank goodness I just subscribed
@Rustedrides fellow Canadian, and Ontarian. Niagara Region. I will be doing my best to make it to Autofest. Hope to see you guys there. I came across your channel, and im glad i did. I recently had bodywork done to my 2005 Escalade ESV. It was not a great experience at all. Ripped off is an understatement! I don't have the experience to attempt myself. But if you guys would be up for the job, i would definitely pay. Aside from that, i love watching your channel, and i am happy that you guys, are starting to get the recognition you deserve! Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Mike.
That's great👍🇨🇦. It would be awesome to see you there! We actually just did work on a pearl white ESV. Sorry to hear it wasn't a good experience though. It is expensive paint that's for sure. Thanks for watching Mike, and hope to see you at Autofest and can chat more!
Very, very, good....just wow.
Haha they turned out pretty good! 👍
Nice! I have been using rustoleom and Van sickle paints for years on engine parts and misc. Looking forward to painting a car with it.
Oh right on, let us know how it goes if you do try it!
@@RustedRides I will try to remember - it will be sometime next year. I plan on using the smoke grey with the Van Sickle urethane hardener for gloss and durability
Bro did an awesome job on that body work on that truck
Ya it really turned out good. And he put a lot of work into making it fit the way it does
You really need to discuss what weather it is subjected to and how it is stored when not in use. Im sure its a different story with 30+C days beating down on it, even with the clear being auto grade
We have +30 degrees Celsius in the summer and - 20 Celsius in the winter. Stored outside buy not on the road in the winter...the car sees the same weather, not garage kept and definitely on the road in the winter, but it was just don't this past February.
you guys are rad, just subscribed!
Thank you very much!
Ditto 😊
The only reason y’all only have 7k subscribers is because people haven’t caught on yet and CZcams hasn’t given you any push. This channel will blow up at some point. The quality of your videos and content is too good for it not to. Just keep doing what y’all do, it is just a matter of time!
Thank you very much! Really appreciate that comment and the encouragement! We will have a really cool video next week!
That’s great, now do a John Deere green paint job!
Hmm... Wondering what we could do in John Deere green now... Cams brother just sold an old jd tractor... But what car would pop in jd green?
It's the two part clear I know I've painted both ways before. Without the two part clear coat it will hold dirt in the paint and paint will rub off with alcohol
I hope your channel grows emencely. I'm going to tell everyone about it.
Thank you! That's very nice of you!
THE ROAD TO 10K! Let's go!
Let's go!!
We will be there and will stop by.
Amazing! See you then!
My first truck was a Datsun 720 lwb and it was sprayed Lemon Chrome from new . It looked brilliant.
That would be a cool car to have now!
Can't wait for Autofest!
It's going to be great! Can't wait to bring our cars and see what everybody else brings
Everyone needs to subscribe because I want cake and buffet!! Lol!! 😉♥️
Haha yes! Cake and buffet!
I want cake too!! 10k lets goooooooo!
Those vehicles look great. Im seriously going to try this style paint with hardner and then clear...awesome channel. Can you please also do a in depth video of welding in patch panels above hear wheels on trucks
Just responded to your other comment, but yes we can do a bit more explaining on the patch panels and how we do them. Might be able to do that on the van video actually!
I have done both Rustoleum job and had done cheapest macco paint job. I think going the macco route is much better. As long as you go with a solid color
Very viable option. It depends on the maccoas well for how it's going to turn out. Also the cheap macco job up here in Canada isn't cheap anymore. They have raised their prices big time
Ive had 3 PPG base clear jobs that died at 36 months. Top $ clear.
Please tell me your doing a video on that chrysler box minivan too...i grew up with that body style
It's in the works! Video on the van coming soon!
Am I the only one who thinks Rustoleum green would be sweet on the charger?
Can you imagine what the Mopar fanatics would do to us? ... We should probably do it. 😂
You guys are straight from the 90s with the flannel eh?
Can you remember what brand of hardener you used?
Tom Green sure looks different these days.
😂👍
What accent do you guys have? Sounds good
We are Canadian, from a town about an hour or so from Toronto 👍
Are them classic carvans in the back ground?
They are! One will be in a video real soon!
Should caution people that if the clear isn’t shot within that twelve hour window, y’all be waiting like a month for the enamel to fully cure, or “lifting” will result.
That's true.. If it goes too far you'd be scuffing down the whole truck again before clear
is this season 13?
I just got a black Corolla (toyota 203 sadly, not the plain 202) from Virginia. Paint is shot but car is rust free. I’m debating whether to sell cheaper cause of that or try this. Or just use thinned and hardened implement paint with no clear. What do you guys think of implement paint?
Ps I’m going to try to make that Autofest. Maybe in the 50 Chevy but probly in something JDM instead
If you are just planning on selling it, you could skip the clear as it will look good at sale time. But might feel bad if it fades fast for the buyer? It's also a good opportunity just to try it out doing it with clear. Chance to practice so when you end up doing something you are keeping then you've already tried it. Even if you don't do a great job, it will look better than the car does now if you are saying the paint is shot. That's awesome you are planning on coming to Autofest, we are really looking forward to it!
@@RustedRides Yikes I would feel bad if it faded so scratch that. I am going to see if I can find some super cheap single stage 202. I cant imagine its too expensive, and I bet a gallon would cover a corolla that's already black....
so I am really hoping to make that. Wondering if I can squeeze in a family camping trip - have been wanting to check out the peninsula between Huron and the GB. From google maps street view thing it looks like of like the southern shores of Superior, which is amazing. Either way, Lord willing I make it, I will be sure to say hello if I see you guys
@@DrewGarage if you can make it definitely say hi! But ya black single stage should cover real well. Bestof luck and hope to see you at Autofest!
@@RustedRides Thanks! See you there, Lord willing!
Would you tremclad my 05 f150 king ranch for me?
What brand of clear coat?
It's a product called "Rouge". Bought it at Baseline Fender and Supply. It's a place in Ontario to get paint and body materials
I think the automotive clear coat and hundreds of hours in prep is what made these work. Not the rust oleum.
Oh yes! The clearcoat makes a huge difference. And the amount of prep work really depends on how much time someone wants to put into their project. But it's always good to do a good job with prep
What reducer and what hardener did you use with the Rustoleum?
We used Nason reducer and proform universal catalyst hardener. We explain a bit more in the pontiac vibe video that we painted blue, might be worth a look if you are thinking about trying it! Thanks for watching and for the comment
@@RustedRides I've done it a bunch of times on work trucks and 10 wheel dumps we used on site jobs. It came out good. But there was a guy here a few years back with a Ford F-1 pickup he restored and he used red rustoleum. It was really nice. He told me he used a hardener, but I forget what he said it was. I right now have 2 trucks here that I painted with rustoleum but without hardener. One in 2009 and another in 2015. So far they both held up. A little dull now, but I think they would buff out fine
The paint doesn't matter if your clear coating it,
What is a Texas turnaround? Haven't heard that before...
It's when reversing and try and spin around and try and go straight. It's called other things but that's the nickname that we go by
What kind of clear. Base coat or an enamel clear
We used a clear coat from a brand "Rouge"
The clear coat is what makes them last, so saying its a rustoleum paint job is just click bait. The question is how long will rustoleum paint last WITHOUT clear?
I painted my trailer without clear and its badly faded, but the boat painted with same paint but cleared is still shiny.
Yes, without clear coat it would start to look dull in a year, start to get chalky in 2-3. Really depends on how much sun it gets
this about what you get from MACO?
I'd say better. At least around here. Macco has gotten expensive and they don't always put in much time on prep. And depending on it you get the new guy or the guy that's been doing it a while, you get runs and bad orange peel.
Mix 50/50 with what?
Mix the paint 50/50 with Nason reducer
I hope your not in the area that the fires are.
We are not in the risk area, thank you for the concern though
I really disliked Rustoleum because it takes forever to cure. I've painted many lawn furniture with it, and after 6 months of sitting in the sun, i can still make a easy imprint with my fingernail
Really eh? We haven't had that in our experience. It does take a while to dry that is true, but 6 months? I have had other paint, for my front door to my house, it's been a year and it still feels weird.
Calling them a $300 paint job is a little misleading.
It would be like saying a job with true professional paint is $500.
The cost in skilled labor, knowledge, and experience is the part that keeps cars rusty.
Yes labor and skill is the majority of a professional paint job. This is for diy'ers and people can just put in as much effort as they want in prep. We've done tri-coat paint jobs and the paint alone cost $2000. But the rustoleum and clear and sandpaper and tape and masking paper, under $300 CAD for someone who just wants to spray in their backyard
whats the difference between a $300 paint job & $3,000 paint job ???.....museum muscle cars are probably going to get a $3,000 paint job !! .... everything else can get a $300 paint job !!
Can't handle the accents you betcha,
Just buy a single stage it’s cheap 🤦🏼♂️😂😂
Single stage is kit bad but it's still much more expensive than rustoleum and the clear we have used here. Single stage is approximately $185 CAD a quart, vs rustoleum at $30 CAD. Even with the clear, we are still spending less and will get a better glossy wet look
Single stage isn’t bad it’s been around forever for a reason this kind of work is garbage use good products get good results
@@jean-phillipegagnon2120 how was this not a good result? What don't you understand about saving a lot of money? You think people want to spend more money than necessary to paint a older vehicle? What makes you think that? How silly of you.
@@jean-phillipegagnon2120 I think that was a typo, I think that meant to say "Single stage isn't bad". They've done a single stage video before, check out some of the other videos!
How clueless, why wouldnt you just use the proper base, if youre going to clear it anyhow.
Base coat is about 5 times the money 💀
This is an economical way for someone to get a good diy paint job without breaking the bank. Rustoleum costs way less
stop making this type of video. saying it cost this little of money!!!!!! there's a reason that even the cheapest painter. would charge 2000.
Hey, ya i see what you are saying, but this is more for diy'ers that want to save money and do the job themselves, the materials would coat less than $300 Canadian. If they have the time to put in, it's a viable option
Clearly you have a vested interest in people paying exorbitant rates to cover "warranty" and issues if customers return. This video has nothing to do with your market, this is for people that would never spend that kind of money for manual labor easy jobs
work great i have paint like 5 or more truck car and a 35 foot bus with this stuff tractor paint and rusto. paint all about the same love the stuff works and last
That's great! A bus would be a big job though!
