rustoleum

Skoolie fam! Just wrapped up painting the bus - the whole project went off without a hitch and we're super happy with the results and thought I'd share some of my experience for anyone getting ready to paint. Taping the bus was a major pain - but painting it was a breeze. We went with some...

The rest of the bus is rust free. I mean for real. I pull up the floor to find this… is this a lost cause? Is it fixable and I’m being dramatic?? Helping me please

So we're getting prepped to paint, and I had thought we would do: Oil Based primer Rusto paint (tinted to our colors of choice) enamel w/ hardner Clear coat (potentially) However, this isn't really possible! Colorado passed a low VOC law, so they still sell a small selection of rusto paints but...

Hi everyone, My husband and I bought a 20 ft 2002 chevy school bus last month and are currently prepping the bus to paint this week. We have sanded the bus down, washed it with acetone and are now taping. We plan to paint on the primer this evening. Then paint two coats over the next two days...

Hey all! We're about to paint our bus and after doing some research have narrowed it down to two exterior paint options—Rustoleum high performance protective enamel and Ace Hardware rust stop. It seems like Rustoleum would be the better choice, but it can't be custom tinted and the rust stop...

Ok, so I'm really stuck on exterior color. I was thinking red. But now maybe International Harvester White (with maybe accents in red). Has anyone used International Harvester White? I understand it's not a true white but sort of an eggshell shade. Pics would be helpful. I always like to...

Hi All, Not set on red, but have any of you used either of these Rustoleum Red colors for your exterior paint? I'm just curious to see pics. I'm finding paint color to be such a big decision. (haha no pun intended) At least for the immediate future we'll be painting one color and maybe do...

Hello! I'm looking to paint my 71 passenger school bus with 2 coats of Rustoleum Farm Equipment Paint. Just wondering if you fellow Skoolie folks have had luck with this product, or would you recommend something else? Also, how do you estimate how many gallons are needed for 2 coat...

Doing research for my build, and I came across this study comparing the rust conversion properties of different brands. It compared; Rust Reformer, Ospho, Corroseal, RC x 427, CCI Recipe, and untreated. TL;DR... Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer performed the best...

After I pulled the rubber floor up I would like to prep for painting but I need to remove the remaining glue. Any advice. I have tried scraping and it comes of but takes forever. I used an angle grinder with different discs too; the wire brush almost take it all off but I can still see an...

I am trying to finish doing the foundation work on the floor so that I can starting building the interior. I don't have time to wait for Spring. Temperatures are going to be around 35F today. I currently have a large space heater in the bus and will be using a blow drier to preheat the metal...
