- For the hood, I decided to employ the "Rustoleum Roller" method I've seen done so many times. (I have done it before, with just a hood, as well). The result is not quite stunning yet, but with a lot of elbow grease and time, it's going to be wonderful!

Your granma loves you alot. There aren't many like her, try to help her as much as possible, cut the grass, wash her car, even wash the dishes, she deserves it. I wish I had a granma like her. Tell her I love her, because she is what I didn't have . God bless. Also your little bro. was helping you without complaining .You are blessed and highly favored.
love that grandma is helping
🏆🖌 This is one of the better DIY vehicle roller paint job videos out
there. When you see the before and after shots you have to agree: it's
100% better-- and the metal is now protected. I especially like that
there was no annoying-- and often crappy-- background music playing as
he spoke. Grandma in the background was a nice touch. She appears ready to spring into action if asked. 👵🏻 👍🏻
I thought it was awesome that the woman was helping you. Im sure she had better things to do but, she loves you and, just wanted to be involved.

Hi I think painting an old car with a brush or roller is the best way to preserve a car that still has a lot of life in it. My dad painted both his cars with a brush and rust-o-leum and he hardly ever washed them ever again and both cars never rusted ever again. "NEVER PUT MONEY IN THE BODY OF A CAR - IT'S MONEY YOU NEVER GET BACK OUT OF IT". Thanks. Sincerely, JAMES.
What a great family you have everyone helping out. Thanks for sharing.
I repainted my entire 2003 Nissan Pathfinder LE with Rustoleum black glossy. I used 4 inch wool mini rollers and the outcome was better than any Maaco paint job I’ve had with a longer warranty as well.
Tell me more
@@jeromemalveaux3790 basically in short I thought it’d be an awful idea, needless to say the outcome was 10/10. Highly recommend this to anyone as broke as I was at the time 😂
May I ask how much you thinned it?
I doubt that....
@@TOMVUTHEPIMP all facts
Loved the family and young friend dynamics. Thanks for the video :)
In 1987 I painted my VW camper in black hammerite, it had prevoiusy been done badly in silver with heavy runs in places, which I flattened out. I used a 9" gloss roller and a 2" gloss brush and the finish was perfect, even had a couple of people ask me where I had it done and they were suprised when I told then how I did it.
I have painted lots of old cars and trucks this way bro . With skills it totally legit and comes up really good . I appreciate your courage in putting your self out their bro 😊stay strong and fuck those haters 😂
What type of paint did you use? I’m looking to paint my van a baby blue!
@@caliwooddetail awwwww😍😍😍
Only people that pay $2,500 for paint job and still have runs, orange peel and bugs and dirt embedded in the paint hate this video. This guy is a genius car painted for less than $50. I’ve painted cars like this before too.
Keep up the good work dude
Ive done it 3 times. Always white satin. Nobody has ever noticed. Saved thousands on paint jobs
Grandma is helping also, to cool...
I love these videos lol. Everyone does it a little bit differently. Thanks
Excellent use of editing! I hate watching videos with long drawn out monotonous segments. You got your info clear and sped up other crab. Awsome!!
Good stuff. It's an effective method for those that want to try the faux patina look. Lay down a few different colours and sand through.
good video, I'm doing my 79 soon. thanks for showing the rustoleum professional. I was worried because the cure time is different than the traditional "rust stops". (comes in the white can). I am probably going to do 50/50 on the mix, I don't mind re painting a few extra coats. good video, keep them coming
kudos to all your friends helping... very cool bro!
I just put way to much money into my old dodge truck so this would be the way I'm going to end up painting it. great video thank you!
+Kurt Wilson Right on! There's a video on youtube somewhere of a guy roll painting his whole truck and it comes out pretty nice!
Yes!!! I’ve been wanting to do this too. Did you ever do it?
That looks complete FUN
wow you have quick reflexes never seen anyone stir paint so fast like superman
Getting ready to repaint my '08 Honda Element, and wanted a reliable DIY method... loooove the Rustoleum plan! Thanks for your tips on rollers, # coats, etc. I'm off-grid, no garage, so I may have some leaves and pine needles sticking... haaaaaa!
That's great!!! Glad to know how to do this!!!
I painted my firebird with a four inch roller and it was shiny and looked better then a spray can job and I didn’t have to worry about my neighbors bitching about getting over spray on there cars parked down the street.
All I'm trying to do after multiple coates is to get my plastic pathfinder front bumper smooth.
From a distance ,it looks good, but up close you can see imperfections.
I'm using same spray paint that was made for plastic and pre primed,so I think I will spray small roller then apply.
Yep, that is typical bored neighbors.
Thanks great video I know it's old but how long did you wait between coats ? I plan on doing my hood this Saturday
I wish I had a grandma like that.
You are awesome!!!! Thank you for sharing your project!!!
I did my truck a little bit ago in half hunter green/half white it's a sort of mint that changes more lime when light hits it.
It came out sort a cool satin. Everyone including me likes it!
I don't want to clear coat it, I'm afraid to mess around with the finish. You would have to see it, it looks really cool! Does anyone know if waxing will protect it?
Thanks good job.greetings from netherlands
this is actualy a house hold tip: ceep the roller in a plastic bag and the roller is good to use the next day!. i cant say this works with car paint but wall paint is 100% good to go the next day!
+otto leeverink it will work with this paint, its just rust metal paint, I keep mine in any grocery bag, seal it up best i can, and put it in the old fridge. never dries out that way, no need to clean it, i would never clean a oil based roller lol!
Wouldn't work here so much. He used spirits to dilute the paint which will dissolve plastic bags. The stuff even dissolved a pair of rubber gloves off my hands
Also wrap in foil, seal in baggie then place in freezer
Thank you
Im gunna do this to my car.
What do you wet sand, cut, and buff with? Be specific with grits, compounds, and sanders, please. Thanks!
Just soak your roller in the paint then put plastic over top and seal around it tightly with tape. Good to go the next day. I think it'd be better to go one good pass with the roller and to do more coats than to keep going over one coat with the roller bc it starts to disrupt the paint more than cover it.
if you do it again you may want to add a hardener... bird droppings will break rustoleum down.
Loved your video, I used dulux polyurethane orange on a datsun back in the 1970s that was rolled and it looked dam good I did have a problem with small bits of the roller stuck in the paint but from about 20 feet you thought it was a professional spray job. Just subbed regards from the uk.
At American Airlines I started as a painter,we used polyurethane 2-part paint it looked pretty good.Some buffoons always applied a good squirt of accelerator in a paint tray,1-2 drops or it dries as you are painting.Little hairs grow off the paint.
Tried this and the paint bubbled up like you said so thought I'd leave it see if it flattens itself but it dried bubbly?
Looks like fun
love it bro me and my gramma refinished her door
When removing a hood or in Britain, bonnet. I always (try) to sink a self tapping screw in the both arms as well as the hood crash framework. This way it takes all of the guesswork out of remounting. Just My thoughts.
Thank you very much for the information.
grandma goals foreal
*bro love your honda bro SQUAAAAAD*
I'm wanting to try roll and tipping, run a 4" roller for even disbursement of paint in one direction and barely drag a quality paint brush in the opposite direction over small sections rolled out, to remove air pockets and bubbles caused by the roller. I want to try penetrol instead of thinner in order to remove most all brush marks, and add a couple % of enamel hardener for harder most luster finish. It supposed to lay as flat as spray and equal the shine. The extra supplies needed would likely only cost as much as the extra sandpaper you need.
First thing you need to use self leveling paint if your expecting no Oregon peal. The best place to find the self leveling paint is at a farm supply store. It’s called Tractor 🚜 paint. It cost around 35 bucks a gallon. But you don’t need primer or reducer you just clean the serfs and then roller it on with a sponge roller put 1 cot on what 15 to 24 hours thin apply a second cot wait about four days then you can put decals or pinstripes or spray paint over it. You can also wet sand and buff it too
So how did using roller to paint hood come out? Have you done another video on second phase of what this video tutorial is about. I never saw this before...I didn't think a house wall painting roller could be used for a vehicle....that is why I keep an open mind to things in the world....things are at a constant in respect to evolution and evolving practices of doing most things....perfect it n pitch it young man god speed...
Going to try something similar.
wow lovely
nice the grand even put in work
when done with the first coat, you can just wrap your roller up in a plastic shopping bag or a small trash bag and just keep it air tight. I like to roll it in the paint first before sticking in a bag that way it's nice and juicy and it stays usable right away when pulling it out of the bag just make sure you don't leave it in direct sunlight or enough to flow through because it can tack up and dry, but between it should be just fine wrapped up in the bag if you get a little bit wet with the paint you were using and then just store it in there while you wait to do the second coat. Shoot, I've had a roller wrapped up for a couple weeks and I still pulled it out and it was ready to roll so they last a while if they're not exposed to heat or air I mean, they have actual roller canisters that are like the size of Pringle Can that you stick your roller in while it's wet and it'll keep it ready to use
his grandma's got in to help that was cool
Nice ! Wonder if I could use flat black!
Great job
I painted a 79 Cutlass with a roller and a few quarts of baby blue Rustoleum gloss enamel
Came out perfect
Still looking for a photo of it from the late 80’s😅
question: i got an all black 98 chevy, is it possible just to buy a gallon of glossy black then just roll it without any other materials?
damn! he had grandma and the neighbors kids she was baby sitting for the day too.
lol
shoot, he's a bad man.
Hi where is the 2nd video want to see wet sanding and clear coat
Do you think you can clearcoat with this method?
If using a roller is an approved method of painting airplane panels than its more than good enough for cars as long as you're not looking for something too smooth, its gonna have a slight rough texture to it, but its way better and not to mention easier than using a can of spray paint, trust me
This was a good one
Didn’t even get to see the final product. Way to go genius.
Do it yourself and take a look
I know Rust-Oleum is cheaper then Auto factory paint but is that the reason for using Rust-Oleum because it's cheaper? Does chrysler white roll same as rust o leum?
VOLKSWAGEN Rules, your Grandma rules. Best Regards from God Old Germany😉
Very creative
You suggest this for a lanai aluminum? Not gonna put that thinner in it though
Did it to my Camaro and it wasn't bad. I can't wait to do it again on something else.
Bro got Grams helping lol 😆 nice
Might help a little but if you're not worried about roller texture which I don't think you are you can buy sponge disposable roller 9" down to 4" you don't have to clean them they're cheaper than nylon and you don't get the little hairs from your roller in the paint.
Good Job😉 Hey, it saves money.. I've heard various recommendations, ie using oil based vs enamel. I know oil can be a bitch to work with😨. What do you think? Thanks for the post.
If you put the roller in a sealed bag it will be fine to use as long as the air doesn’t fleet at it. Or ceran wrap it.
ONCE YOU APPLY THE PAINT.........if it has been more than just a few seconds....DO....NOT........ROLL ( or brush) ...BACK ....OVER..... THAT ....AREA........ until after the paint has significantly firmed up.
Even though it LOOKS like orange peel..... DONT TOUCH IT...... it will somewhat " lay down" or " self level"...
but...
If you re-roll or rebrush over paint that is more than a "minute old"....
VERY shortly after paint is initially laid down, it starts to dry, first by skinning over.
The top most molecules start to cure and harden...THEN...if you brush or roll back over that curing/hardening paint... YOU....WILL.... disturb and distort that " skin"....
rolling or brushing over freshly laid paint is what CAUSES brush strokes or orange peel.
like it or not..... lay down a coat.... and move on... if its been more than a minute DO NOT GO BACK AND TOUCH IT UP ... if it HAS been only a few seconds...myou might be able to add more paint but make sure that you fully " re-wet" the whole area with fresh wet paint which help all of it lay back down.
Good advise!
SOLDbyYOU YES!!! Hello quick question. I plan on doing this on Saturday long should I wait beetween coats ?
Quick question ... I want to use regular wood varnish (poly) to do the clear coat on the hood of my jeep. Is there any reason you can think of that that wouldn't be a good idea?
Very bad idea! I use Varathane Oil Based Clear Interior Satin Polyurethane on furniture all the time. If I use it outdoors, it cannot handle UV rays and breaks down fast. Its a very tough interior finish, love it on wood furniture, but never outdoors. For outdoors wood use Spar Varnish (not Urethane. Varnish is more UV resistant). For your Jeep, consider using Durabak18, a bedliner paint, which is a form of Urethane. Don't use Epoxy paints like Upol Raptor paints which are Epoxy and crack with vibration. Durabank dries hard, but remains flexible for vibrations. It also comes in a textured (with crumb rubber) and Smooth and can be roller brushed on with mohair rollers. Uses Xylene as solvent and brush cleaner. Xylene is not available in CA but you can work around that. Durabak also makes a clear version but not the same as the slick gel coatings in auto industry. For your car best is to use auto paints and a small sprayer for gel coat.
Great video
I'm doing this too need to save money lol good stuff my friend
@Lorelei Schwarzwald absolutely my friend
The finish looks like raptor paint. A bit of sanding after and will look mat, ready for some clear
Guy told me I ordered paint on eBay said use a 1/4 nap gonna get one at Lowe's on Saturday. Probably be better than using spray paint or a spray gun when all the paint fumes be in the air. I should of used a roller in the first place it seems better to me.
I did this years ago using both spray and roller. I didn't thin the paint, I added Penetrol and it worked GREAT! Also, never reuse a roller when you can afford a new, clean one. Just sayin. Car turned out so good that I had request to paint other people's junkers! LOL
sinbad20001 ....what's pentrol?
Penetrol is a paint additive that can extend oil-based paint without thinning it. The dry time is longer, but the finish tends to be smoother. By extending the dry time, you can go back and touch up within a longer period without dragging the paint. Takes longer to get tacky. Floetrol is their product for latex paints, and is helpful when painting on warm days.
You’re actually correct I forgot about that lol
Good job
How many of those tans would u get for a Dodge caravan
Nice finish, amazing!
1. Did you use a mohair roller?
2. What is the wet sanding grit and do you use a machine or by hand?
3. What sort of paint did you use - a link would be helpful. Is this automotive paint?'
All the answers are in the video. DID you watch it?
Cool vid bro ty...
this is what I am going to be doing to my car in a couple weeks. I'm planning on it turning out better than how it looks right now lol
How did it go
@@alexcaudell8258 💀 10 months later no comment
Love it
Cool to use semi gloss ? Or oil based
Good shit bro
I once had an orange cat and a can of rustoleum and when I woke up from a heavy night of drinking I now have a leopard, wife was like wtf
Mike Mike haha hahahahaaaa hahahaaaahahhohshit hahahaaaaha hahahaaaaa I need air hahahaha
Mike Mike 😂😂😂😂
i am a paint and body school grad and i have always wanted to try the roller paint job, don't get me wrong i love spraying paint but i believe there are many ways to get a nice paint job. i am planing to use tractor paint on my upcoming project '''an 81' toyota pickup that is going john deere yellow''' and i don't care if people don't like it, i think people will be impressed with how good it looks and how well it holds up outside.
adam white how'd it turn out? Planning on doing the same thing to my 79 Chevy k10
what about clear coat, do you roller that too?
I've seen allot of successful roller jobs... Best results and easy was to avoid "dry brushing" is to pour some paint directly on the panel and draw it out with a paint primed roller
How do I get my paint stick to move that fast
No job this big can be done without Arizona green tea!
When you use a foam roller first saturate it with paint, it prevents bubbles and orange skin, or use a short haired lacquer roller.
makes no sense...... Cannot be done using the 60/40 ratio
So why can't we use the paint straight out the can?????
It's just really thick. You'll get better smoothing when it's thinned.
Get at it granny
It's kinda funny how people seem to think the One and Only way to paint a car is by spraying (preferably in a mucho expensive paint booth); and that using rattle-cans, or a roller, or a brush just means you're going to get a crap result.
Well, as you prove, it doesn't have to be that way; sure, it takes a bit more elbow-grease but you can still have a damn nice paint-job at the end of it.
Guess that goes to show what "Everybody knows you can't..." is worth, eh?
+Jim P You're absolutely correct. Unfortunately, I ran out of elbow grease, so it's going to a shop...haha. But it can be done for sure! Thanks for the awesome comment!
Jim P I have a black 99 Chevy Cavalier and the paint and clearcoat have come off but I’ve thought about getting some exterior glossy black paint and just using a brush or roller and painting it. It couldn’t look any worse than it does now. What do you think about that?
Your math is right, but your measuring IS wrong. You said you need to put 4.8oz of thinner and 7.2oz of paint, but actually put around 5.8oz of thinner, because it was waay closer to 6 in the mixing cup... so you ended up mixing around 5.8 thinner and 6.2 paint, which kinda makes it almost 50:50 again. :D well done, plus you gained a subscriber
That panel is surely cursed forever
thanks for the video. Have you tried tipping the paint with a good brush after rolling?
I tried tipping a 16' skiff. Top of line marine paint. Even got the right brush, watched every video. Seems to be an art because I really had everything right and couldn't pull of the tipping. Some CZcamsrs are mighty skilled. Not me!
hi wot house hold paint did you use ?
I've never seen anyone stir paint that fast, I hope you can beat off just as fast as that??
But of course
lol
Why do you hope he can? You want him to beat you off?!?!
+ChancePants Windham r u kiding look at the name...heheh
He can he uses me every day to get the nut stain out his pants and sheets I work good on nut stains fuck detergent if anyone sees tide tell him I want my fucking money
If you make too much paint with mineral spirits for the job, can you store for the next coat?
Or you must use?
+Lucas Leonardo Benetti ...I would say yes...perhaps just run it through a strainer first before second coat and seal the mixture well...
gospos1 thanks
so 80-20 next time? Could you get close ups before sanding ?
