NO WAY!! that was done with a roller?? :o

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

dude that is sick! I know how im paintin my rex now, haha. I checked out the other link and didnt see the ratio of mineral spirits to paint :-\

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

damn! thats what i need to do.. since im a broke mutha!...

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

They didn't really give a ratio. They just said to thin it until it is just slightly thicker then water. Thin enough to self level, but not drip. I need to find out where to get a can of that paint!!

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

Yep that's what it said.

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

:) cheap paint jobs rock. He mentioned using the Duplicolor stuff by the gallon. Same stuff I used on my car.

I'd like to try this but I don't have anything to paint. Maybe I'll test it out on a spare fender and see what happens. Perhaps paint someone's car over the summer if they have the balls.

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

Damn it looks like that Tremclad ---- is only available in Canada. The border is a 4 hour drive away, hmmmm.... Sounds like some people are trying to do this with the Professional Series Rustoleum. I need a new paint job bad, I'm going to follow this ---- to see how it works out!

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

If you read the thread on the other site it says that it's rustoleum over here. 8)

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

I've been reading for the past couple hours now. Rustoleum and Tremco are 2 companies, both owned by ANOTHER company. There seems to still be some differences betweetn Rustoleum and Tremclad products. But I've been digging, and they had someone say the rustoleum STOP RUST line is deng near the same as Tremclad. And the guy who painted the charger said his tremclad came in a base tint product that they could tint to different colors. So after digging, I'm thinking this...
http://www.rustoleum.com/product.asp...t_id=431&SBL=2
is pretty much the US equivalent to Tremclad. It's the Alkyl (sp?) Enamel that Tremclad is, high gloss, and also references it to be formerly called STOP RUST. I think this is probably the stuff and I'm going to get me some and see how it goes! Now I just need to figure out what exactly this "Professional Roller" thing he used is. I'm sure I'll find it!

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

Theyre at wal-mart, everything you need can be bought there. I coulda swore on one of those threads he gave the link to the rustoleum and said thats what people over here'd have to buy.

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

Ju-on you need to read the whole post the rustoleom and tremclad turn out to be very diffrent and no where near the same theres a post explaining this towards the end the only real way to do it would be to get your hands on some tremclad the guy using the rustoleum ends up peeling off with his fingernail very easily so it doesnt stick as well

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

And also said he tried scratching it with a screwdriver and it wasnt as bad.I think he did that afer a couple of days after painting it,theres more post on letting it cure Some guy says something that the proffesional grade rustoleum works better.

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

yea i read that also im just saying that there is a post in there from the rustoleum tech or whatever that it is not the same stuff and the guy who started the post said he wouldnt trust it he was only 100% about tremclad just a heads up anyways im not trying to discourage anyone im very intrested also and im looking for a place to order tremclad online maybe to try it out

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

Yes I read the whole thing. My eyes hurt last night from reading it. I did read where it said they were 2 different things, that's what I was saying earlier. But there is another post on there, that the guy in the Orange Charger posted from a tech. It said that Rustoleum's "Stop Rust" was very close to Tremclad. He posted it on like page 10 or something, I can't remember, and nobody even really acknowledged it, but I saw it. Said that the Stop Rust is an Alkyl based enamel, which is exactly what the Tremclad was. I have no idea what paints those guys are using anymore, they're testing ones, but I was getting confused as it seemed they keep looking at different ones rustoleum sells, so I quit trying to figure out what the heck they were using and do the research on my own. That link I posted in my opinion seems like the stuff that would probably work, and seems to be about as close to Tremclad as we'll get here in the states. I'm not spending 50 bucks on gas to drive from Minneapolis to the border to get that crap, and risk getting it taken away when I cross the border anyway. So I am going to find somewhere who sells the stuff in the link I put up, and try it on my own because the tests the other guys are doing are just confusing me.

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

My neighbor is an auto painter by professionb...just yesturday i was talking to him about redoing the exterior of my civic. his suggestion was to do all the prep work my self then to take it to maaco...under the theory that their p[reppers only get paid minimum wage but their actuakl painters arent bad. he suggested i use the roll on primer (the brand he mentioned was sherwin williams) instead of spray can primer, becauser the spray can stuff is lacquer based and there is a reason lacquer based paint isnt still around. he said the roll on is fine, but that i might have to sand the occasional brush stoke down

Re: $50 paint job--tremclad
 

That's exactly what I had planned on doing. I figure their sprayers spray so many dang cars, they have to be decent at their job to be able to spray as many cars as they do, plus obviously they'll have a good amount of experience because of it too. Just their prep sucks from what I've heard. So I planned on doing that myself, and then just bringing it to maaco to get sprayed. But ---- if this stuff works, then I figure it's alteast worth a shot! If it doesn't work, well then oh well I'm out 50 bux, and I'll just go the maaco route again!
