Re: satin paint
All I can tell you is if you don;t clear it it is super easy to touch up when it gets scratched. I rattle canned my 1874 C20 Long bed and it is super easy to touch up and ooks great compared to what it looked like fourteen different colours!

Re: satin paint
I wouldnt use valspar if I were you, I would get Rustoleum SATIN black. They have it in quarts and it can be sprayed with a gun. I would thin it to about the consistancy of milk and spray it a few times... But make sure its SATIN it will say it on the can in green lettering.
Heres my friends truck, I choose to use spray paint because we didnt want to spend to much time making a make-shift paint booth in his garage. This was used with rustoleum spray paint, its tough as nails. He threw a rock at his truck and the paint didnt even chip. Yes it is spray paint! ![]() |

Re: satin paint
Specific reason why? I'm a couple months out from finishing my truck, and I am currently planning to use Valspar and Spirits.

Re: satin paint
I'm not sure what paint Jojo was referring to, but I was thinking of this.

Re: satin paint
That doesnt look bad at all.. Worth a try when ever I hear the name valspar I alway instantly assume house paint.

Re: satin paint
The Valspar tractor looks good, do you have to reduce it similar to automotive paint? Looking to do my truck up in flat black, mostly because I work it and don't want to scratch up nice new shiny paint.

Re: satin paint
My little brother tore a truck down, sanded it all to bare metal, did the body work, then put a metal etch primer on and some tractor paint, Looked awesome! That is until he put a couple of years of driving on it, the whole thing rusted within 5 years. Now I'm no body expert, but I've done my share, and I know he did it right. The paint just doesn't hold up. It's great for tractors, they don't have to be pretty, and everyone assumes they rust because they got scratched somewhere, but I'm not sold on ANY of those cheap paints. I would rather spend an extra 500-1000 for GOOD paint than have to tear it all down again later to put more paint on it. I hate doing things twice, it's a huge waste of time. They make flat clear coat, I'd go with the BC/CC with a flat finish. Besides the fact, if you ever do have to sell the thing, you tell them you sprayed it with rustoleum, and forget it, they're probably going to run the other way. They're going to assume if you went cheap on the paint, you probably went cheap elsewhere. Just my two cents!

Re: satin paint
so if i was to spray with the flat clear would i have to wet sand and all that other stuff to make it look good and on my trucks finger prints show but because the previous owner just went to dollar store and spray painted the whole truck

Re: satin paint
This topic has been hashed over several times in the paint forum. I think the general consensus is that for a vehicle you should use a lacquer paint, and save the enamels for your patio furniture.
It is, however, your choice and your dime. If you can afford the right stuff, by all means do it. If your budget only affords Rustoleum, etc, it is your truck. If that makes you happy then my all means do it, but you have to realize you'll be re-doing it time and again every couple years when it starts looking bad again. My personal experience with rustoleum was on the inside of a tailgate, properly prepped, sanded, primed, and two years later you could still scratch it off with a thumbnail.

Re: satin paint
Good point Jason, I was initially going to use Hot Rod Flatz, since its a proper single stage auto paint. But it is always good to research your options before pulling the trigger. Think I'll save the rustoleum for the winter beater Hondas, I'd like this paint job to last quite a while and the Flatz paint really is not expensive in the realm of automotive paints.

Re: satin paint
I also used rustoleum satin black for the top half of my s10. been almost a year and not a chip, scratch or faded spot on it. If you use a spray can, take the nozzle off of a can of elmers spray adhesive because it sprays wider and it wont streak hardly at all.
