Horrible coverage follow up
The reply from Rustoleum tells me to hold the can upright when the can says “ANY-ANGLE” spray. I’m going to have a lot of trouble positioning my car vertically so I can hold the can upright.

Thanks for sharing your experience. After vigorously shaking Rust-Oleum Automotive Matte Finish Spray Paint for at least one minute once the mixing ball begins to rattle, as well as frequently during use, the can typically has excellent spray at any angle. Give us a call at 866-585-8430, so we can hear more about your application and try to make things right.

    Not Black - it’s Green
    As others have stated, this is not black but a dark green. Yes it was shaken up (over two minutes)

    Oh no, not something we like to hear. After vigorously shaking Rust-Oleum Automotive Black Matte Finish Spray Paint for at least one minute once the mixing ball begins to rattle (thoroughly mixing the pigment), the color is typically excellent.

      It's Green...and not really matte
      The title says it all. Unfortunately, I do not see colors well and painted the entire bumper before I realized. I just thought is was an off black, but my wife says it is straight hunter green...with some sheen.

        should have been marketed as dark military green
        Used this to paint my fenders on a custom motorcycle build expecting a flat black..the finish is matte but more green than black in my eyes… personally I like most of their products and use them quite often but this needs to be relabeled- it’s more of a military color and should be marketed as such

          NOT BLACK
          Why rustoleum would call this black is beyond me. It's dark green. I have never had to test any black spray paint made by rustoleum but now I'll need to start.

          Oh no, this is not what we like to hear. After vigorously shaking Rust-Oleum Automotive Matte Finish Spray Paint for at least one minute once the mixing ball begins to rattle, and frequently during use, the color will match the cap. All that shaking keeps the pigment (color) in the can well mixed, this provides excellent color when the paint is dry.

            Too shinny...and DEFINITELY NOT black
            The finish is a bit too shinny for a matte ....and the color is definitely greenish...( Yes , I shook the can well...yes I used black primer..Quite experienced on spray painting)...and the sprayer is awful. Bought this based on Rust Oleum previous experiences...but this was a bust.

              even finish but not really black
              maybe I should have read the reviews but it does have a green tint to it. I sprayed a black primer underneath, let that dry for 8 hours, then sprayed this "matte black." I was expecting a super black turnout but there is a green tint to it. I'll be starting my project over with something else...

              Oh no, we can help, Tony! Please keep in mind that the appearance of Rust-Oleum Automotive Matte Finish Spray can be affected by the surface condition and the number of coats applied. It is also essential to thoroughly shake the can before use and during application to ensure an even finish. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5 Rustoleum
                NOT MATTE, very glossy. bumpy truck bed liner like finish.
                Shaken over a minute before hand and every 30 seconds while painting, used two cans and it still went on super blotchy. Used over top of Rust-Oleum clean metal primer. Looks awful. Waste of money.

                Something is amiss here! Our Rust-Oleum Automotive Matte Black Spray should apply in a smooth, even, and matte finish, and this is very unusual to hear.

                  Yikes, something is amiss here! To ensure the proper sheen with Rust-Oleum Automotive Matte Finish Spray Paint, it is essential that the can is shaken for a full minute before each use and shaken often during your application. This will ensure the flattening agents are evenly distributed throughout the application and provide a consistent finish.

                    Perfect!
                    This was just the color and finish I was hoping for! It nailed it for my project! I will be purchasing again for my dinning table and chairs.

                      I would highly recommend Rust-oleum. It took only one coat to cover porch dining chairs.

                      Used for learning purposes ( trying to master the art of painting vehicles during quarantine) , wet sands perfectly with 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper and buff out great for a spray can paint . Its also cheaper to buy at home depot compared to autopart stores.

                      I purchased this to touch up minor scratchs on my stain black wheel and it dries to a dark grayish green color. Clearly not black. I shook the car for 5 mins and applied to light coats. Do not buy this if you want satin black color.

                      Let's talk through this! It is important to shake Rust-Oleum Automotive Matte Finish Spray Paint thoroughly before use and often during your application. Two or more light coats should be applied a few minutes apart while keeping the can 10-16” from the surface. Depending on the surface being covered, more coats may need to be applied. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5 Rustoleum

                        Perfect match for black ABS auto parts.
                        I wanted to ditch the chrome and paint my grill which sits above the factory black ABS bumper cover on my truck. It's a perfect match. better than just the color match, it went on evenly and smooth. I let it cure for several days and it set up rock solid. I accidentally hit it with my buffer that had rubbing compund loaded on it and it did nothing to this paint. it's not a true deep black, but matches ABS parts like a champ.

                          Like others have said, this product dries to a dark, drab, military green color. While spraying, before its dry it seems like it will be a perfect black. I put on four light coats. I used it to spray an after market saddlebag for to go on a matte black motorcycle. If the black was off a little bit I could have lived with it. It's not even close...it's green. I will sand it down and find another product.

                            Did the job at a very small expense
                            on a last resort to save our car's dignity it seemed like going with a black paint job couldn't fail. the application was easy and I was able to do the whole car in a bout 2 hours because everything dried so fast. I would highly recommend painting the car each panel at a time to allow for even coverage. the color was black under the shade but did have a greenish tint to it in the sunlight.

                            Great noe but lets see how well it holds up
                            The paint does go on a dark olive as someone mentioned in different lightings. However, I used this paint to paint my wheels. I had to use about 7 coats on each wheel and there still were spots that were't sticking...it turned out looking OK but lets see how long it will hold up !!

                            Its a good product and can take care of stuff in a good way. Tried on back patio table and on a part for a military HUMVEE, good results.

                            Paint is too glossy. Wrinkles after second coat even though it says recoat any time. Overall an absolutely horrible product.

                              NOT matte black
                              used primer and 2 cans of this, cost me approx. $35 and definitely not a true matte black. Now have to spend dbl the time to remove this junk, re-prep, re-paint and spend dbl the money on a better product. Used for side mirror covers and 2 racing stripe. Used correctly, shaken, put can in warm water 20 min., ect. So don't read response from manufacturer blowing smoke! There wouldn't be this many bad reviews if it was user error. Just wish I read these BEFORE purchasing.
