How Long Will Rust-Oleum (Turbo Spray Paint) Hold Up - 1 Month Later

IN this video we take a tour of the 1972 c10 bed that was painted with rust oleum spray paint over a month ago to see how it held up. One side of the bed was shot with just rust oleum turbo gloss black then half was polished. The other side was shot with rust oleum turbo gloss black then shot with spray max gloss 2k clear and buffed. Then this bed was set out side in the elements to see how it would hold up in a month. This has been a fun experiment using spray paint to paint a car at home. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and make sure to subscribe, like and share if you enjoy this type content!

[biohaz]

Continue to be amazed by how good that clear looks man, tons of work, but really a great looking job…thinking I might be able to do my own car..:)

I'd like to see the whole truck be sprayed with turbo cans with the 2k clear. I was seriously impressed about the bed after you waxed it.. thanks for the content. Just wish rustoleum had more turbo can colors.

[jimcaf]

black is really a true test with that clear on it in that hot summer sun, always thought rustoliem was an oil base and that would never work, from what i gather its a modified alkilyd enamel, i saw another you tuber stated were he has a 5 year old job 2 part clear over x2 and still looks good, got me curious i just painted some scrap but preped sheet metal with x2 black and upol high solids clear and got it sitting in the hot arizona sun for the summer as a test too, , , thanks for the video

[billymaul]

thank you for the time and money you put into your videos its very helpfull . that clear coat looks good over the turbo can paint im gonna paint my 2001 gmc safari with it. the 6 month review sounds good.

[freshbutplain]

Show us every quarter of the year. Make a follow up video every 3 months. You have me sold on the turbo can and 2kclear man. Looks fantastic! Must be the shake master 4000!

I was bored the other day and decided to build a paint shaker for cans . It’s similar to yours and it does work really well. If any of y’all want one and not capable of building it yourself. Buy one from AC, They work.

[DireWolfForge]

Thanks for the update man. I love what you’re doing. I’d love to see how you would do a two color fade, if you’re so inclined.

[frankhomen]

That turned out really good the side with the clear I’m very impressed. I have a couple of fender that I bought to replace on my Honda what do u recommend for the painting and presentation the fender came black already you recommend primary first or just spray over the black how they came and what type of sandpaper could I use or have you had a video put out that I can watch any information would help me thanks again for all you do on your videos, showing us how to do this type of stuff love it

[kennethmorgan]

Thank you for your video. I think my son and i are going to paint the 2000 f250 7.3 in the spring. I have a question though. Will it do any good or will it hurt if we do about 4 coats of the clear coat?

[jeremycardwell]

I’d be real interested in seeing some diy body work tips and tricks with hammer and dolly and also body filler and or fiberglass when it comes to your suburban repairs.

[luisillo]

Great videos, Could you do a video showing how reclear old faded paint with 2k.

[harveygrant]

What’s the process with bare metal with the turbo paint, do you use rust, oleum, primer, or some kind of sealer or just Turbo paint

[playsportfun]

I'd like to see you k2 spray max clear the other side. Can you match the good side? Would you sand it first?

[DanielRenfro]

I would like to see you clear the half on the side that you didn’t cut and buff. I painted a truck back in the fall. It has some peel ( used a spray gun, not turbo can). I plan on cutting it then spraying speed coat clear. I would love to see how it did before I sand this whole truck again.

[ronaldmiller]

HI A.C., , MY SON MAX 9 YR.S OLD AND I, DAD.. JUST SAW YOUR SPRAYING ON THIS BED THIS WEEK FIRST VIDEO, , IT WAS FULL RED, ,AND WOW!!

MAX WAS ASKING CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON THAT CAMEL BROWN 1960S PLYMOUTH I BELIEVE OR A COMET .. MAX SAYS DAWN IS GREAT TO CLEAN GREASE DUCKS SO ITS GOOD FOR CARS, , THANKS YA!! LATER...

[steveclarke]

That 2k clear enamel is doing great, how about doing a ceramic coating on the 2k side, see how it looks and holds up after a year.

[KiwiStag]

Checking things out, mate, it looks to me like there's been no deterioration of the clear coat from the bird dirt either. Some of the cheaper clears don't stand up to seagull ejections from that orifice down here (in New Zealand) - and in fact, some factory clears end up needing a mild cut and buff if the stuff is left on for any length of time (ie: a week or more). I don't know if our seagulls get into the leftover curries or tacos left in people's bins to make their doings so destructive, but maybe its more the higher UV content we have in conjunction with it that makes the difference.

Why I'm obsessing with seagull crap is that I'd appreciate seeing the paint at 3 months and then every 3 months after that up to a year. Maybe at the 6 month point, you could polish half the cleared side and half the non-cleared but flattened section so that at the 6 month and year mark, we can see what sort of maintenance is needed to keep the rattle can results looking as good as they do. Even with the non-cleared paint, I wouldn't be mad at it for clouding up after a month in the height of your summers. The non-flattened section hasn't got any better or worse with the stretching and shrinking of the unprotected paint either, so that's a plus. It'd be interesting to see how (or if) that can still be flattened out after leaving it being baked for several months and if so, whether it comes up as well - or better than - the other half of that side.

Seeing the damage the brake cleaner made to the unprotected paint, it might also be interesting to see whether the same could be said for the clear-coated side. I'm not suggesting intentionally damaging the clear coat, but maybe have THAT side face the workshop during the next couple of months of your working on projects and see whether it still looks as pristine. This would also simulate it being in the real world, parked out on the street, at a workplace or then do the same as you did this time with the cleaning and comparing at what then will be the first 3 months of its life.

The rustoleum I sprayed in the engine bay of my round-town beater has stood up well to the wintry weather and the heating / cooling of the engine bay for about 2 weeks longer than the truck bed, so I'm really liking this rustoleum product for its apparent quality. The rust hasn't come back either - not that I'd expect it to after 6 weeks, but some lesser primers would not necessarily have protected it as well as the rustoleum.

Seeing bodywork being done is always a good thing too and one can always pick up some tricks and techniques from watching. Anything to do with bodywork or painting - especially the experimental - is a great thing to watch and a learning experience (speaking personally at least). I'm still impressed at how well the paint has held up for a relatively cheap paint job that still has a much better look than surface-rusted or patchy panelwork - even on the non-cleared side of the truck bed. Thanks for keeping it real and budget friendly! Makes it look like something I could actually accomplish easily without a whole pile of expensive spray painting equipment I don't have any experience with using. All the best!

Enjoyed the video, I have a question, my motor home paint continues to fade even though I wax and buff it once a year it also stays under a shelter with no sides. Is there any product that you would recommend that you would recommend that would help with the fading.

[luisvelasco]

Comparing the two sides, it seems to me, if you go to the trouble of cutting and buffing the finish, you are wasting your time if you don't use the clear coat. Rustoleum makes a rattle can lacquer for automotive use. Can this be clear coated with a 2K product and if so, is it worthwhile to do that? Just found your channel today and looking forward to checking out your welding videos.
