"What is the difference between the Stops Rust paints and the Farm Equipment paints? Both products offer the same rust preventive and weather resistant qualities. I found an answer for my farm equipment paint question on the rustoleum site, it says: I'll probably use the rust bullet, then fill in the tiny pits with some glazing putty, then go from there. Looks good! Sounds like the best route to go for someone like me who has some surface rust on the panels. V8 Mirage, it looks like you basically used the Rustbullet as a primer of sorts and then topcoated using this method to get the color you want. Glad to have you aboard!!! Good luck and post pics, we love to see other roller jobs!!! After that I have just been wiping it down with MS before I start.īottom line is, if you have rust you should treat it with something, (sandblasting, rustbullet, navel jelly, etc) before you paint it for the best results. I used Super Clean to wash my car to make sure it was Clean before I started the painting the first time. It is VERY important to start with as clean a surface as you can when painting. Then I went ahead and painted using rustoleum. The rust bullet didn't level all that well and had a good amount of orange peel to it so I sanded it so that it was a bit smoother.

Then I used Rust bullet with a roller to convert the rust and fill in the pits. That unfortunately left pits where the rust had dug in. I used an angle grinder with a cup brush to get as much of the rust out as I could. My car had surface rust on the roof and hatch. If you have rust, I would first sand it to remove as much as you can and smooth it out. The engine and trans should be installed next weekend, then wiring + exhaust + fuel system. I cant wait to see how it looks out there, and will probably tape it up and do another wetsand and 2 more coats once I get it drivable and where I can park it in the sun for awhile. I'm still working on getting my car on the road. There could be long-term differences with how well those paints hold a shine - hopefully people will soon be able to report on how paint is holding up after 6 mo, 12 mo and beyond.

Though recently, I've seen some people post some polished up Rustoleum and I have to say it looks great.Īussie driver has done both marine paint and rustoleum and says the marine paint polishes up better. If you're looking for a high gloss shine, don't forget about the marine polyurethanes. I had some a long time ago, but that was just carelessness on my part because I didn't clean the surface much if at all. I dont recall too many people having adhesion problems recently. The paint will self level in that it will take the shape of the surface underneath it- it will not cover up any boo-boos so take the time to smooth things out now. I found this by accident doing a search to see if anyone had painted an entire car with Rust Bullet using rollers, and all I can say is "wow"! This would probably look much better, but I'm still considering going that route depending on how much I have to do with regard to dealing with the surface rust I have. Next to google itself, this is the most useful thing I've ever stumbled onto on the internet. Does that mean I'm stuck using a dark color because it will bleed through anything lighter? If so, is it unrealistic to go with black due to the fact that this is my first time trying this and black is very unforgiving about imperfections showing up? My original color is a dark metallic blue. Is there an advantage to using this formula.ĭoes the first deal with surface rust better? Do both formulas give the desired high gloss shine? Am I better off cleaning the panels with an industrial steam cleaner like this Īs opposed to just wiping them down with mineral spirits? Some people it seems, have had some adhesion problems that appear to be from the prep stage. Will the paint fill in pit marks/imperfections from the surface rust?

There is surface rust along the bottoms of the panels, but it's not rotted through.

It seems that one of the advantages of this method is the paint's ability to "self level". Is this true even though it's being thinned a lot with mineral spirits? Will the rust return or bubble up the paint? Am I better off "converting" the rust first with Rust Bullet or an equivalent before topcoating with this method? If I'm reading it correctly, Rustoleum can be painted directly over rust. Before I attempt this, I do have a few questions (hopefully I'm not repeating here.) The body has held up very well because it was not driven much at all in winter, but the paint is pretty oxidized on the top panels and there is surface rust along the bottoms. I'm going to try this on a 1990 Chevy pickup.
