Answer This Question
A: Happy to help, Rick! When applying Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Paint with an air paint sprayer, you can thin up to 15% with acetone. If using an airless, thinning is not typically required. Make sure to follow the recommendations for your paint sprayer as well for the best results.

Q:Can you use this to repaint a tub or shower?

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Thank you for reaching out. While Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel can be applied to a variety of surfaces we do not recommend applying to a tub or shower. The full water immersion will cause the paint to blister and peel. Instead, we recommend applying Rust-Oleum Specialty Tub & Tile as it is specifically formulated for high moisture areas.
