This is spray paint? Quality paintjob for your car/truck on the cheap

Looks great to me

I've become a fan of the 1 to 5 spray nozzles. I seldom use more then #4 or #5 but have used #2 as well for tight spots.
You can get spatter but it tends to be absorbed in the paint.
You can get it in a clean nozzle.
For your test spray, unfortunately you cannot tip the can over and clear with a short spray.
So what I have done, thanks to a yTuber suggestion, is remove the spray nozzle (and its tough on the 1 to 5 can) and spray a jet of WD40 and a drop in the can stem.
that cleans the nozzle and keeps the stem from clogging.
before you paint, do a test spray to clear anything left in the stem or nozzle.

I have had rather fantastic results from the Rusto 1 to 5 paint cans.
just remember to let the paint flash before the next coat, about 10 to 20 minutes.

Hood looks pretty good. I thought your second coat was kind of heavy and would be looking for runs, but nice job.

Would I rattle can an entire vehicle? No. It's just not cost or time effective.

Would I rattle can a panel or part? Probably yes.

Dude... you got your shirt stick in the paint. What texture did that look like?

I'm glad because paying thousands of dollars for a paint job is obviously a rip off .

It will peel off over time .

with sanded/buffed 2k clear that would look much much better

A respirator is probably a good idea in a garage like this.

The color looks pretty close to the original Toyota blue from FJ40s. Nice!

Muito lindo esse azul ravenna

Pintei um capacete e um tanque de moto foco show de bola pirralha

Great result!

Have done a few rattle can cars over the years, best tip I have is use a quality graffiti brand paint. Belton by Molotow is a really high quality for example.

Wow! Less compound!! Also, your haze is because you need to use a finishing pad and compound. Foam pad and Sonax Perfect Finish will make that paint look awesome!!

You can totally rattle can your entire truck but it's going to cost almost as much as a budget ebay automotive paint kit. The real cost effective way to do this is to buy rustoleum in the can, reduce with diesel (which will also act as a hardener) and roll it on with a fine foam roller.

It will orange peel about as much as a spray can will so you'll still need to wet sand and buff but a $50 gallon will easily cover a small to mid sized truck. The only problem with either of these options this is the paint is not UV resistant...this can be mitigated with a cheap clear or even a $20 amazon ceramic coating...2 bottles for a truck.

What color is that?????

I rattle canned my first Fj 40 as I was getting body panels repaired with replacements over a few years . I was happy with it for what it was.

Would love to see you do a comparison between spray cans and HVLP guns - turbine sprayers. I am thinking of using HVLP to paint my truck and wondering if spay cans would be better or easier.

I would definitely rattle can my whole vehicle. 😂 Looks awesome. 🙏

Yes i have done it a couple of time in my life ! and i maybe going to do it on my daily car next spring ! it is worth it for a daily driver ! it looks god !

I'm gonna rattle can my tumble dryer first 😁

Looks great. Any advice on rattlecanning a matte finish? Thank you, BH

I got low standards, this is way over any expectations I could have with a rattlecan! I'd slam that on my car any day.

Lots of folks are claiming they wouldn't put it on their car, it's not perfect blablabla, truth is, most of them wouldn't even realize it was rattle canned and would happily pay for it.

Does work good with professional premix put in a can .One problem you have with cans you can't totally mix the paint properly so you can end up with Different colour shades plus too expensive just the spray pack can is 15$ without paint in it .ok for smaller parts but wouldn't do it to a whole car .get a tin done with a compressor and spray gun .

Looks good but the finished product wasn't much better then before wet sanding overall great video

Hi Friend
Thanks for the video
How many spray can have you used for tye bonet ?
Kind regards

Awesome

Wet sanding is like black magic. I did it on my corvette, and everything came out nice , until i got to my drivers door. It looks foggy from some angles . I did 1k 2k 3k buff and polish. From the screen your hood looks a lot better then my door 😂.

Unrelated comment: how do you like that plastic tile floor? I was thinking about doing that to my garage.

👍

Why does everything have to be show quality? So you can spend thousands of dollars for a 5 dollar trophy? As long as you are having fun with your car that’s all that matters. I have 4 show cars and they are all boring.

Great video. I will be using your technique with rattle cans to paint the hood of my 2002 Toyota Sienna. I am not looking for show quality....just man on the street acceptability. Thanks so very much for your instructions!

for my '89 silverado, this is the perfect way to go.

Dude, I’m not sure about the quality of the paint job, but I’m 100% sure that dust mask is doing any favors to your lungs. Make yourself a favor and buy a proper chemical mask.

Can you spray it with 2k clearcoat after to make it more durable and better finish?

You should have done a 4rth and 5th coat. Allowing the 4rth coat to really tac up and put the 5th coat on very thick and using a light to reflect the gloss stream. You will not need to wet sand if you control the wet stream better on the very thick 5th coat. That's with a can or spray gun. First coat should have been thicker, and always start at arms reach and come to you.

Where is your respirator mask. That is dangerous especially with the door closed.

I like the look. I might try this with a panel at a time with my 68 cutlass beater.

How many coats did you apply and how many cans did you use ?

Yep I use the same compound after wet sanding, very easy to use and it works well by hand.

I’m about to rattle can my 2011 jeep. Old girl has 150k miles on her. Not dumping thousands into paint. Video was very helpful. Thanks.

I flip cars and I think this method would be fine for what I need. Thanks

I can't see it really close, but it looks good from here. I have an 06 Scion with clear coat coming off. I've thought about rolling it with Rust-Oleum farm implement paint. The other day at Tractor Supply I saw they have gallons of clear coat too. Then I thought about lightly sanding & rolling on some clear coat. Not looking for a perfect job, just want to improve the looks of the car. Even body shops often don't do perfect jobs either & charge a lot of money.

Dude, you're spraying paint in your garage

I did my 2012 HD RGS front fender that was Denim black with John Deer matte black and its a perfect match. Been running it for 2 years and not one person could tell the difference. HD quoted me $600 to paint the fender, I did it for around $50 in material.

It looks great and I would use the can paint for sure to save a lot of money

What brand of paint is that? Looks like Rust Oleum? They only make certain colors I think. Thank you!

It doesn't have to be show quality just street quality

fyi - rattle can FULL cure is when you CANNOT SMELL PAINT any longer, typically 2 weeks. Spray paint is very high in solvents.
