-
Did anybody read that article in Hot Rod Magazine about the sprayed Rustoleum Satin Black paint job? I looked it over in line at wally world. Gotta be the cheapest way for a hot rod black.
-
yeah i saw that article, wasnt it like a 68 camaro? that came out pretty good (:
-
Here is a pic of 56 red that turned out a lil orange! My truck looks bad,but I had to get the frame straitened and redo body work for my hood,and roll pans,but u can see how good the paint turned out!
-
Is there a link or something for the paint? I don't see anything.
-
tcpglobal.com u have plenty of colors to choose from! google hot rod flatz images and youll find alot of peoples rides from hugger orange to olive green.....check it out man!!!! let me know if u decide to go with HRF,id luv to see pics
-
What color is that orange/red? I like that a lot.
-
suppose to be 56 vette red but i know they sent me hugger orange! i have blood red waiting to go on something lol

Hey just an fyi, i used some high heat grill paint that rusto makes on my radiator support. I thinned it out with mineral spirits (i think. But it gives a suggestion on the can. ) and sprayed at about 30psi. Came put smooth as a babys forehead. It is a little wimpy when it comes to scuffs and scratches so i coated it with the duplicolor clearcoat engine enamel. Which is also high heat. Rustoleum is pretty awesome stuff.
-
I learned one thing from a good friend. That is if you prep the surface good you can lay down a smooth paint job with some rustoleum. He has painted some engine bays that look as good as anyones.
-
Not really my bag of bones. If I do all that prep work that's going to make a paint job look real good, I wouldn't waste it on something that looks like it could have been Krylon.
-
All I can say is that he has won best engine multiple times at shows with krylon under the hood. ;)
-
Yeah but which show was it? And how long till it flakes off
-
i know many people that have painted there engine bays in similar ways and i have nothing negative to say. as long as prep work is done well, it seems ok. only bad ive seen is when guy didnt clean surface worth a crap and it flaked. our buddies one truck is going on 3 show seasons with same painting,and a local guys old ford is in his second season. im not arguing by any means. just throwing out my experience.
-
Well I have done my engine bay with no bad results. I just wouldn't waste all the effort that goes into prepping a whole truck body properly. Seems like a lot of time and effort just to have a paint job thats.. well... flat.
-
Well I just sprayed my truck with the hot rod flatz hot rod black and I am very pleased with it. I have a ton of hours in the body work and prep and I will say that my truck looks good. It looks better now with the flat paint than it did new with the shiny black. I will say I don't know if I will ever have another old car or truck thats not flat!! As for the paint under the hood he has won at several shows with 500 to 600 cars there. It has also been painted for three years now and looks as good today as it did when he sprayed it. It all in the prep work.
-
I'm not a bodyman, so I fear the task of prepping my truck. But uh, does this paint end up being cheaper or something? I mean than other "flat" paints. Or is it that it somehow looks better?
Somehow, after looking at this stuff long enough, its starting to grow on me. Dang it. What do you think of this vanilla truck? Kinda cool. Wonder how it would look on one of these old trucks? I also like the blue car cause of the pearl. I could see my truck painted that way. I wouldn't mind it cause of the pearl. Only trouble is, how can you tell if this is going to look good on one of these old trucks? Guess I'll start photochopping again.
