brush painting with Rustoleum

[Gunslinger]

couple of pointers using this stuff.

1. thin it carfully, it thins with white spirits if i remember correctly.
2. dont use it too think
3. it hates some sealants because they are white spirit based too i painted some over "grey stripe" sealant and i have a feeling some of it still hasnt set !
4. try not to get to many runs in it, as flatting it back is hard work, this is one tough paint
5. t-cutting doesnt seem to work so good, as said before, it's pretty hard paint

Well i`ve just ordered two tins of the stuff to tidy me van up with.

Theres odds and ends to sort out first on the bodywork but i`ll keep you informed of progress as it happens. Just started on the replacment rear doors today, theres a couple of minor dings to fill and a bit of rust on the edges to get rid off.

has anybody put the white onto a diamond white van? whats the colour match like?

I`m about to find out in the next day or two. I got 2 tins of the white Combicolour and its going on a white van so I should be able to let you all know what the match is like.

My tub of Hyrdate 80 arrived today, so i`m setting to all the surface rust spots tomorrow with the angle grinder and flap wheel, then two coats of the 80 to kill the rust.

Just finishing of rubbing down and filling the replacement rear doors before they get painted and my alloys returned from being bead blasted and powder coated yesterday.

is this stuff just available in set colours or can it be mixed into other colours like would be done at a paint shop/motor factors.
