I do this all the time with tracker paint and a foam roller is a must and I use no hardner and it just fine for me I paint all my dirt track cars like that and it holds up well
Could you do this with a flat or satin Black?
Roller in one hand, hair dryer in one hand, bubbles disappear.
I think acetone makes a better reducer. I agree with the comments using foam rollers.
Put on a couple of coats, let it dry a couple of days, wet sand about 1/2 of the orange peel out, put another coat on let dry a couple of days, wet sand 1/2 of the orange peel. Another coat keep doing till you are happy.
Don’t rush the paint needs to be really cured/dried before sanding.
I did use rustoleum paint on a little Toyota truck I painted, but have also used tractor paint.
Yea it is only self leveling if you use rustoleum paint but nice try.
Ha damn doesn’t look half bad.
No bullshit, but there is nothing wrong with this type of paints. Here's an example for anyone who is interested… So John Deere uses a killer enamel product that is as you would expect, super tough. The stuff I used is called "Blitz Black." It is Deere's equivalent to satin 'Hot Rod black'. I completely refinished my personal e36 track prepped chassis sedan- using this paint along with their accompanying primer and the finish was near perfect. Extremely durable indeed, like you said, it is designed to sit outside in the elements, take abuse, and stand up to the brutal rigors of the agricultural industry. The gallons were literally something like $30 each! I used an HVLP on mine and didn't roll it, did the necessary metal repairs, wet sanding, used quality fillers like Duraglass, and Thin Ice from US Chem. The entire body job and respray was insanely cheap and the finish many years later is still excellent. As long as the prep work including the essential wet sanding is done correctly, you can expect great results. As far as your roller job, if you wet sand that peel and even take it a step further and cut/ buff the car and it'll transform it to something that's really pretty nice. Since you painted a track car like I did it doesn't need to be show quality, but there is no harm in having it look 'presentable.' There is nothing wrong with Rusto. Its fantastic paint thats readily available, predictable in its application, and inexpensive but it will never be as tough as the agricultural stuff. Figured I'd share my experience as well with these type of paints for anyone else who may be considering using a product like this to refinish they're chassis. Thanks for sharing your story fellas! 👍😎
Next time show the entire body of the vehicle in frame on occasion and especially at the end of the video. This was a huge mistake to not include.
Can you get a good finish with a foam roller as good as a spray paint job.
Man you need to get fit, hope your not driving that car, arse will be on the ground !
7:25 My OCD just wanna wipe off your head….
Wtf? Did you really think you would get a good paint job using a roller?
Did you guys primer first ??
When i roller painted my boat,after prep.i applied unthinned leyland gloss with a 4 inch foam roller and foam jenny brush the jenny is a flat foam brush essential for removing the bubbles
i can honestly say i could see my face in the finnish.Good video.Cheers.Ronnie.
Did this on a blazer with rustoleum and corvette primer roller selection and consistency of paint is key I did a 50/50 with mineral spirits. Called it a 10 foot paint job never sanded it. What you learn from mixing while rolling the primer will get you more comfortable setting up paint for a cheap harbor freight spray gun. Seemed wet sanding the primer was a majority of the work. Good sandable primer and cheap paint just around the same price point.
primer is a must can't skip it and more importantly clean it off before you start even if its jut with denatured alcohol still have to clean it then you definitely need to reduce it id say use mineral spirits and add a catalyst like what majic sell my vintage fridge with it and the results are amazing i used prepped with denatured alcohol a terry cloth then i reduced my paint 4 parts paint 3 parts reducer and one part catalyst rolled it on then tipped it for roll on paint this is another must it pops those bubbles almost immediately they use this method on boats it was the primary way to paint boats in the 80s and before and alot of budget projects still use this method try this next time and try majic instead its got a much richer color in the paint so you don't need to use as much Rolling And tipping the paint
The instructions say to wait 4 days between coats to dry .
very cool…i have many years of wet sanding experience ,so being able to sand completely flat without the worry of going through clear is soooo simple… i would probably start with 400,then 800 then 1500 then 2000 …then buff with medium grit using wool…then fine using foam…
cool video…did you sand entire first coat with 400 to level and remove all the mess from that first coat? thanks
how is the over 2 years old paint?
is reducer the same as thinner?
How is it holding up? Just bought a Nissan Micra with.. Very bad paint fading to say the least 🤣 Not got the money or a paint booth to get a proper spray job done, so been tempted to try this
Don't use foam rollers. They always cause bubbles. Use a nap roller and that paint looked too thin right out of the can. Why not just use house paint? I painted my shed w/ interior paint and it's lasted over 10 years. What do professionals use on race cars and truck bodies? Probably enamel out of a can like Rustoleum or some professional stuff.
Have you ever painted a room? That's the way it should look.
Noticed you guys didn’t use primer. How well did this last? Wondering if I should primer first or just scuff and roll straight. Thanks dudes!
Ma zio porco sotterrato…!!! non se pittura la Porsche col rullo… ma nessuna macchina in generale… solo aerografo…!!!

I did my old BMW e30 weekend warrior this way. Rustoleum gloss white is very close to alpine white. There are many schools of thought on this controversial procedure. There is no right or wrong way because you are not supposed to do it according to professional autobody guys.
Ruined a fucking car
A little late for you now… search "roll and tip" boat painting procedure. The "tip" refers to lightly following the roller with the tip of a 3-4" wide paint brush to even out the roller marks. orange peel, and kill the bubbles. Easiest with two people, but you can do it alone. No sanding required.
need to roll and tip google it
how do I skip the interminable commercial?
Foam rollers will do this. Should have been a very short pile roller instead
looks great.
always wondered if orange peel would help a tad bit with aerodynamics. like a golf ball the dimples hold a pocket of air so the other air buffs up against the pockets of air and don't actually touch the ball. with this being a race car a wind tunnel test before final sand and buff might of showed interesting results.
Idiots.
A. Way way too much reducer.
B. Its called “Roll and Tip”. You only did the roll.
Dumbasses. Why post the video of you F-ing it up so bad? I would have loved to see an actual good hand paint job on a porsche. Sad.
The reducer is for spraying
The details are in the prep and upkeep. Method of application is not important
I think the rest of my 91 e350 is a good candidate for this. I painted the roof already with aluminized reflective roofing paint (with a white wash brush) and it looks pretty cool. Definitely a few degrees cooler inside and should seal the rust up pretty good.
Bounty paper towels, 50:50 rustoleum:mineral spirits. 15-20 coats, sand every 3rd coat, no roller marks, no orange peel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwa0godTfdA
Thanks for sharing lads
What a waste of time and money, you can get a gallon of single stage urethane for $100 bucks.
Watching your video again !!!! Great, yeah !
Check out my rustoleum paint job. I used cheap spray gun.
How about that! I'm looking into painting my Porsche 917/10 Can Am Car Replica with a brush or roller also. I am going to a Sherwin Williams store tomorrow to talk to them about how I should approach this. The color will be Blood Orange aka Tangerine just like the original STP car. OR, it may be Porsche Grand Prix white by using a gloss white from Lowes! https://youtu.be/4bluALGWeBo Actually, if I do Blood "Orange", the Orange Peal might make it appropriate.
