Absolutely! I found that using a wire brush followed by sanding really makes a difference in how well the paint adheres. Anyone else tried a different prep method?

Great tips! I’ve used a rust converter before applying the paint. It helps with stubborn spots. Just remember to let it dry completely before you start painting.

Has anyone tried applying it with a spray gun? I wonder if that provides a more uniform finish than brushing it on.

Using a spray gun can definitely give a smoother finish! Just ensure you wear a mask to avoid inhaling fumes. Safety first, right?

I’ve used the paint on my truck frame. I applied it in thin coats and let each one dry before adding the next. It really enhanced the protection!

Sounds like thin coats are the way to go! I applied it too thick in some areas and had issues with it running. Learning curve for sure!

Been there! Also, using a foam brush helped me avoid brush marks. Just a suggestion for anyone looking for a smoother result!

That’s reassuring! I think I’ll give it a shot on my vintage bike. Any tips for application on smaller surfaces?

Does anyone have a funny story involving this paint? I always end up covered in it by the end of my projects!

For smaller areas, I recommend using a small artist brush. It gives you more control and helps avoid excess paint drips.

Haha, same here! I looked like a Picasso painting the last time I used it! But it was worth every splatter!

16

Well said! I think with a little patience and the right technique, anyone can achieve great results with this paint.

I see a lot of great insights here. After all the prep and work, it really pays off to see your project protected for years!

That’s encouraging! Has anyone else seen how it holds up against UV light? I’m concerned about fading.

I used Bill Hirsch Miracle Paint on my truck about two years ago. The durability has been impressive so far—no major rust spots despite a harsh winter! Definitely a thumbs up from me!

I applied it last fall, and the paint looks as vibrant as the day I put it on. No sign of wear yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
