Attempting the "$50 paint job"

[y5mgisi]

For the pretty minimal additional cost, it does seem worth a try. I really want to buy a truck on cl that is in good shape but has crappy paint, and try painting it with this stuff and see how it turns out beer I use it on my truck.

Their colors seem to be limited unfortunately :/

There are 30 colors. So probably more than rustoleum? And you can get metallics.

Here's the color chart. I'm not advocating for this company. Just wanting to put it out there as an option for people.

Yea, no "Sand" or "Sante Fe Tan" though

Wonder if one could mix metallic in with the paint to make it prettier? Hmm......

Nevermind i'm an idiot. Those paint's are metallic.

Well I'm into my third winter with this roll on rust paint,seems to be holding up good
I was going for rust protection and no place to spray at home

There are a few options and tractor supply has there brand MAJIC with different colors.


I used John Deere Blitz black (Satin Black) which is $39 a gallon plus thinner and hardener. I spent about $150 on paint, a few cans, and other stuff and mixed it 8:2:1. Then sprayed my 67 mustang. I didnt prime at all, put 2 coats on the first go, wet sanded and then put 2 more thin coats on. This covered everything. The first 2 coats left some spots showing through where bondo was and plus i messed up a bunch and had runs but it was easy and i did it in a 9ft wide carport. I plan to spray my 78 GMC with this as well
