Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Brush On Protective Enamel Paint, Metallic Aluminum

Really impressed with this paint. It has excellent coverage and covered my exterior door completely with just one coat. It went on smoothly and gave the door a nice, even finish. It’s also held up well through the rain with no issues so far. Great coverage and seems very durable for an exterior paint.

I needed some paint in gray for my Jeep. This is a close match to the color on the Jeep, dried smooth and looks shiny. Price was good. I always use Rustoleum on heavy metal or metal exposed to the elements.

This is very good paint. I had to use one coat, but sometimes I put two coats on just to make it look better. It holds up very well. I’ve used this paint for several years. I love the fact that it does not fade.

This gloss almond enamel paint does a great job on old appliance touch up. I used this to cover some paint loss from a refurbished home appliance. The small size is reasonable as I'm only using it for appliances that are beige/almond. The small size makes it easy to use, both mixing and applying. The drying time was also reasonable and matched the label.

I generally don't like oil-based paint because it's harder to clean up, and haven't really used much since painting models as a kid. I had some of the same issues with this paint as I did with Testors back in the 1990s: Paint goes on too thick, details of small items lost, long drying time. The main issue there, I've discovered, is that the paint goes on thick, but does spread and "settle" well when using a larger amount. So for larger items, it's probably more ideal, if you're okay with the finish. After some failures and second attempts on boot lacing hardware, I found a good method to get the results I wanted. It's mainly just following a certain procedure to get there. My goal is to paint SOME of the boot hardware, but not all, which means getting a finish which mostly matches the paint already applied. This is more matte semi-gloss. Have mineral spirits or acetone handy to rinse your brush, as the paint in the brush will start to dry, get sticky, and make the paint much harder to apply uniformly. I didn't bother at first with rinsing and ended up using brake cleaner, which isn't stated in the directions, but works well enough while the mineral spirits are on the way. Feel free to thin the paint according to the instructions if necessary to get it to go on more smoothly, as it does have a tendency to goop up on items with fine detail. I found one of the keys to getting a smooth finish with this is to apply at least two THIN coats. I think a lot of people (including myself) tend to try to go for opaque coverage with one coat and try to finish quickly, and it just doesn't work when painting small items... it just ends up looking cakey and bad when dry. From what I have seen, if the paint is shiny when you're done applying it, it's probably going to dry that way. As always, apply the first layer uniformly with coverage, but do not worry about it being sheer, because at least one more thin coat is necessary. It does take around 24 hours to be sure it dries completely so that it's not sticky and you don't fingerprint the finish. Just allow more time for your project, and it definitely helps. As you apply it though, the somewhat slower drying time can work to your advantage. If you apply, wait a few seconds for some paint to stick, and keep brushing with a dryer brush, you can remove excess paint that would dry shiny. This sometime tends to "settle" in a way that doesn't look smooth, so you can move on to another piece for a couple of minutes and check your previous piece to make sure it's completely smooth. If not, brush without applying more paint again to smooth the surface until enough paint has stuck to the surface and the surface of the paint is smooth and more matte, if that's what you're going for. Wait 24 hours and repeat this process. Again, if your results still turn out gloppy, sticky-looking and too shiny, thin the paint slightly with mineral spirits or acetone and apply many thin coats to make sure you can apply it without the paint collecting in crevices and corners of your piece. If I was using this sort of paint on a small or medium figure, for example, I would probably thin it to the maximum directed and apply as many coats as necessary to get the result I wanted. If you have something which you can spray freely with some or no masking, using a good paint gun to get get uniform coverage would probably be ideal, but again, this paint is more on the shiny side when a lot of it is applied. If I had to do this project again, I would most likely use this same paint, as I would still be going for a thin and smooth finish. Using a matte finish paint with the same viscosity might be easier, but avoiding pooling of excess paint would still be something I would want to minimize.

I had no idea that I can actually paint my old tiles and change its color and texture. Thanks to this paint my shower & bathroom tiles look like new. It's been at least 3 years since I painted it and it's still holding looks like it just did it. Supernatural if I wouldn't know that I painted it there's no way to tell. Easy DIY dries very quickly. Best solution for old tiles. Instead of the heartache of changing tiles. Just paint them and you got new tires. Definitely worth every penny.

What can I say. Rust-Oleum has been around longer than most of us. A little prep, dirt & oil removal, prime, top coat, years of weather protection. Holds up very good to time & abuse.

Durable, Glossy Paint That Holds Up Indoors and Out Rust-Oleum’s Stops Rust enamel in gloss white is one of those products I keep coming back to. I’ve used it on everything from a metal fence to outdoor furniture and even some concrete trim, and it never disappoints. The finish comes out bright, shiny, and smooth, making old, weathered surfaces look brand new again. Application is straightforward—this is an oil-based paint, so it brushes on thick and levels out well without much effort. Coverage is excellent (a quart goes further than you’d think), though like most enamels, it’s best to use two thin coats for the most durable finish. It dries to the touch in a couple of hours, but I’ve learned to let it cure overnight before handling or re-coating for best results. Durability is where this shines. It resists fading, chipping, and rust even in direct sun and rain. I’ve had projects painted years ago that still look solid with just the occasional rinse. It also adheres well to wood and masonry, not just metal. A couple of notes: being oil-based, cleanup requires mineral spirits, not just soap and water. Also, it has a stronger odor while drying, so ventilation is important if you’re using it indoors. Bottom line: A proven, heavy-duty enamel that leaves a high-gloss professional finish and truly protects against rust. Perfect for fences, doors, railings, and outdoor projects where you want both looks and longevity.

My only problem is that the can was damaged fortunately the paint didn’t come out

Good to buy, easy to use

Great, delivered on time and just what I wanted

My packages went to two different towns before it actually arrived at my destination, the box was all damaged on the outside, and when I opened the package, the cans were all dented.

Looks like it could be sprayed right out of the can. Excellent adhesion to bare metal and great finish when dried 24 hrs
