![]() ![]() As you can see I spent very little on the project. One of the best things about this is that it is very inexpensive. You might need more, you might need less depending on the scope of your project. Below is a list of everything I needed to get my car painted. BUT, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.įirst, you will need to purchase all of the materials needed to complete this job. I cannot guarantee that it will work this well for you. Please also see step 5, "downsides and drawbacks" before making your decision to try this at home. Am I happy, yes! However, I can in no way provide any assurance that your attempt at this will turn out as well or be as satisfying. This is what I did, and this is how it came out. You too? Here's how! DISCLAIMER: I am in no way responsible for the results of this project when tried at home by you. However, I am a lazy SOB and would like to not have to sand too much. Make sure to lay down enough coats throughout the procedure to be able to sand at the end if you like. Of course, if you are not happy with the finish without a final sand and polish, just prepare for that scenario ahead of time. Oh, there will be some sanding involved, but we will try to keep it to a minimum. If the Poor Mans Paint Job is performed correctly, it will help to lessen the amount of sanding involved with an at home auto paint job like this. I have also seen people use a sprayer with Rustoleum providing excellent results as well, but then you get into dealing with the overspray, needing a sprayer and somewhere to do it. BUT, it takes a lot of sanding work to get it right. I have seen plenty of people paint their car at home with a foam roller brush, with good results. This method uses a high density foam brush as opposed to those other methods, resulting in a lot less sanding to finish the job. This method of paint at home application relies very much so on the methods seen in other online auto paint how-to's, but uses a different paint application technique in order to lessen the amount of sanding involved. A method I have come to term The Poor Mans Paint Job. I will have a new and improved one up soon! I have developed a new method of applying rustoleum as an automotive paint that is, in my opinion, vastly superior to applying it by roller. Just follow the directions on the container to apply it.Sorry! My website that all of the links in this write up point to is down. I love this!įor these 2 projects, I used 2 coats of metal primer on one and 2 coats of blue chalk paint on the other. It’s the first time I got a this bright orangey rust finish across the whole piece.īut, it’s still full of beautiful variations on color and patina, varying from light orange to browns. Here’s the 10 Easy DIY Rust Paint Finishes I Came Up With! Orangey Rust Patina Paint Finish! And the more spray you use, the more rust you will get.Īnd, whether or not the Iron Paint is wet seems to change the rust color too. The full reaction can take 2-6 hours to fully develop. Go light with the spray and slowly layer more to try to get the look you love. Each piece will have it’s own unique look. Steps for this Easy DIY Rust Paint EffectĪ quick note first, I played around with this Iron Paint to try to get different levels of rust with different patterns and looks. So, depending on what it is and how it’s used, you might want to seal it. It only transfers when rubbed against something hard. It doesn’t rub off on skin or flake off like bad rust. I haven’t sealed mine, but since it is actually rust, it can leave a little bit of rust residue marks when it is rubbed against something. You’ll also need a foam brush to apply the paints and possibly a water-based poly (this is my favorite), if you want to seal it after. Chalk Paint sticks to almost any type of surface, even glass and ceramics, so it’s a great primer on it’s own. If you aren’t painting metal, you can actually use chalk paint as the base under the iron paint. The rust could start to breakdown the metal without a primer. You don’t want that rust paint on bare metal. That primer is meant to PROTECT any metal that you want to use this on from the RUST. The Modern Masters Rust Finish Kit comes with the Iron Paint, Patina Spray, and a Primer. I wish Dixie Belle would put together a kit on their site too. This comes as a kit, so you don’t have to buy all the bits separately. The Second Option I tried is the Modern Masters Rust Finish Kit and it’s easy to buy on Amazon and your local hardware stores might have it in the paint department too.
