My Rustoleum Adventure
Well i decided to go the rustoleum route on my truck after reading quite a few threads on here. Thanks everybody for your info. Anyways, I used the purple harbor freight gun and a friends air compressor to shoot rustoleum satin #7777. I feel like it turned out pretty good for never painting any cars before.

Re: My Rustoleum Adventure
Thanks everybody. i used acetone for the thinning material at about 20%. It was about 75 when i sprayed the bed and around 60 degrees when i did the cab. not much changed with the temp, bout an hour on drying time was it. Wetsanded everything with 400 grit paper before i sprayed. My dad went to school for bodywork back in the 80's so the few tips sure paid off in the end.

Re: My Rustoleum Adventure
lots of people say the rustoleum paint just doesnt cut it.but some times its not a bad choice touch up,color match,availability, and cost compared to the better paints makes it a no brainer for some.my kid practically didnt even know what a spray gun was till I put it in his hand and said "do it like this". he did our truck and it turned out great.maybe one day it will get a top job done but for the time being the rustolem makes it one color instead of ten different colors with primer here an there.looks like you did a very nice job on yours and Im shure your happy that its one color too.One thing though is that I would like to see some of the other colors done. Ive only ever seen the black witch is ok,except in the one mag they did a little f**d with a roller and lots of wet sanding that one was off white.good job it looks great and the best part is you did it yourself

Re: My Rustoleum Adventure
Good job man, I'll be tackling that in another month or two. I did just start my tailgate, wanted too see it completely done to insure the color I picked was something I liked. All the brackets are done, tailgate is in primer, gunna finish shooting the tailgate today. Probably won't turn out as good as yours, it's a work truck, I just want the rust gone, and the body protected. Don't think I have what it takes to sand and sand...
Oh btw you add a hardner?

Re: My Rustoleum Adventure
Did you sand to bare metal or sand 400 grit over the existing paint?
Thanx
