rustoleum spray paint

[David Ullman 142]

This is my first Rustoleum paint job, I was using auto paint but its gotten why to pricey. I read where you can use rustoleum thinned out, seems to work but takes longer to dry but the results aren't bad.

Looks fantastic!

 

My "paint department" ... (Trina)

MUCH prefers to use Rust-Oleum 2x Brand.

Lays out nice...

Rustoleum definitely drys slowly, and take even longer to cure.  Treat it gently for about 6 months to let it harden.

Nice job on your tractor.

Holy  crap Dave that is one fine lookin tractor!  Where you been all our life!?!? 

You are correct on the Rustoleum products and sadly way too correct on the $$ of auto grade finishes. I have done a couple of restos with Regal red out of a rattle can with good results... not trailer queens but dang good workers..

 Is that by chance a 12 or 1067  with floor boards?? Raider??? Sure is a beaut!

 

Where are your manners EB??

Hey uhhhh.... @David Ullman.

I have always used Ace hardware Banner red, very close match, cheap, and is dry to touch in about 1 hour, can be handled in 2. Scratch and chip  resistance is very good.

 to the  David.                Very nice work on the tractor....any before pics.

 

I don't often paint, but when I do, it's always Regal Red.            What is that gem behind the WH ?  '30 Dodge?

How did I miss that in the background? I never do that!

 

My guess is Oldsmobile, but I'm probably wrong. That was the only thing I could think of off the top of my head with twin headlight cross bars..

if your using a spray gun, you can use Valspar enamel hardener with Rustoleum Regal Red. It will dry faster, harder and I think with a little more gloss. Just be sure to use a quality respirator when you use the hardener

The car is a 32 Chevy 2 door sedan classic.

If you use a catalyst hardener with any enamel it will flow out better and harden in a short time. I get mine at Tractor Supply.
