Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
Just finishing up a few things. The sun was pouring in the garage this evening on the hood I installed today. The reflection showing a fair result. This was a hood I found for 100 bucks. Took me a week of filling and sanding but was way better than the one I ran into the work bench last year.
Single stage, no clear. Has a very original look to the gloss. Not too shiny. This one had a few dings, but straightened and filled to my liking. Rest of truck looks good to. I did a full strip repair and repaint. |

Looks nice! I've painted several vehicles on a driveway.

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
Are you guys saying you actually painted outdoors?? If so, you must have no insects like gnats and mosquitoes. Try that here and you'd have a real mess. Also, the Calif air resources board would send a cruise missile to your house.

Outstanding! I too will be shooting single stage paint on my truck for a more original look.

One point to make. The project was an experiment using rustoleum cans of primer. It allowed for easy clean up doing small areas as time allowed. Never intended to be show quality, I wanted something on the lines of a 4 or 5 year old truck that was taken care of. I did leave the door jambs to bring in a look of well used. I also left the bed untouched as I used the truck to haul landscape and grove material around the house. |

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
Isn't lacquer paint banned in California?

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
I haven't shot any since about 2014, but one can buy cheap lacquer in quart cans from some parts stores around here.

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
Looking at those rules, it would appear that the paint I have has less than the specified VOC/Liter, which I guess is the same as ROC. That isn't clear to me. Stores are selling it, so I'm taking that as it's allowed. It's one stage gloss, but they sell a clear coat too. But that's Dupli-Color, which I guess isn't all that great a paint. I've usually only used Dupont or Ditzler lacquers.

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
I'd be happy if my truck looked like that, only in red. I don't want a show queen, just something respectable that won't get pulled over for a roadside vehicle check.

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
It's ShopLine urethane. I used rustoleum to build and block to a rough state. Not the cheapest way but easy clean up given many days here and there. Let cure at least a month before using the proline primer to high build and final block. I was told rustoleum reacts to most primers. I think it probably does if you rush and don't let it cure enough. I have zero experience with auto paint. At this point the job looks just how I wanted. Time will tell if the rustoleum was a mistake or not.

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
You didn't use Rustoleum primer in spray cans, did you? I did that on one paint job years ago (in a few spots I needed to build a little) and it shrank under the top coat. If you did, hopefully urethane doesn't act like my lacquer did. All the Rustoleum had to be ground out and the spots repainted- which can be easily done with lacquer.

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
Yes in some areas. But it was months before I shot the urethane primer. Rustoleum has also changed their primer. I'm going to stay positive it cured and did it's thing. The paint is 2 to 4 months old at this point. So far so good. It will start seeing hot sun soon. Plan on bringing engine back to life this week but seems lots of life is stepping up for some attention as well.

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
It looks good! Fingers crossed it stays that way.
With the cost of paint jobs nowadays this is becoming more popular. And as a result more information is available and the myths about having to have a bodyshop spray your paint are being busted.
