Great product but buy a LOT!!!
This is another great product from Rustoleum. It covers well, dries quickly, and the color and finish are really nice - I used mine to restore a patio table set. However .... when you press to spray, it's like the can is nuclear powered! It BLASTS the paint out!!! I thought it was just one faulty can but it was all of them! Maybe they have to use a lot of pressure to get the little granules out? This means that it is very difficult to control excess paint from pooling up. Even worse, the can was completely out in about 2 minutes!!!!! It took me 3 cans to do one layer on one small patio table that is mostly space and the backs of 2 chairs .... I thought I was going to have leftovers after doing TWO layers with FOUR chairs!!! It's a very difficult color to find in stock anywhere so plan ahead if you want to use this. I think it's well worth the while but be prepared. I'm now stuck driving all over the city trying to find another supply of the stuff - Home Depot is going to take 10+ days to get it shipped to their store!

Beautiful color and texture
The sea green color was what I wanted, but had to buy six cans in a pack to get it. I wondered what I was going to do with the extra cans since I thought I only needed two to paint my garden bench. It was painted rustoleum metallic brown and it took 5 cans to cover it. If you use this paint on anything dark in color it may be worth it to spray it first with an appropriate primer. Overall the final effect is well worth the price.

Good texture and Color
Painted patio table, came out very well color and texture was good. Almost like a powder coated finish. Cons: Paint clumps up if sprayed too close. Spray can finishes very quickly. Bought 3 cans at first had to go back and buy another 3. Overall Patio table came out good.

Does not cover
As many others have said, this product does not cover. I did a table frame and 4 chairs and it took 14 cans! If my wife wasnt against black i would have quit using this junk. I have used rustoleum products my whole life so didnt bother with reviews, but i wish i would have. I'd like my money back for 10 of the 14 cans.

    I like the finish it provides. The coverage sucks.

    Painted our patio furniture with this paint. Sprayed a base coat of regular brown first as recommended. Then spayed this on top.The furniture came out looking great.....no complaints. I would recommend the attachment handle that fits over the cans if you are going to paint a big project.

    The grit/sand consumes a good portion of the contents and must be shaken well to get decent coverage and even so the paint will drip. The combination of sand and paint reduces the amount of coverage, so it costs more to cover an equal amount of square footage. Not all cans produced the same results. Having said that we liked the finished look and feel on the patio furniture. I would recommend first covering the surface with a regular base paint, similar colored can(s) of paint before applying any textured paint. You will have better and faster results.

    The product is great for the first half of the can. Then the second half, the nozzle becomes hard to press down and paint squirts out in a liquid stream instead of a spray mist. This has happened in 3 of the last 8 cans I’ve purchased. Not sure why.

    Oh no, not something we like to hear, Michelle. Oh no, not something we like to hear. Rust-Oleum MultiColor Textured Spray Paint is a heavily pigmented coating, this is what provides superior coverage and hide. After vigorously shaking the can for at least one minute once the mixing ball begins to rattle, and frequently during use, the spray is typically excellent. Give us a call at 800-481-4785, so we can hear more about your application and try to make things right.

    Thanks for sharing your experience, Mark. For best results using Rust-Oleum Stops Rust MultiColor Textured Spray Paint, hold the can 18-24" from surface and spray in a steady back and forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the surface, keeping it in motion while spraying. It is recommended to apply a light first coat, target 50% coverage. Apply 2 or more light coats a few minutes apart until the desired coverage has been achieved.

    Oh no, this is not what we like to hear! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust MultiColor Textured Spray Paint contains a lot of textured pigment, for that reason is it important to shake the can vigorously for at least one minute once the mixing ball begins to rattle. During the painting process is it just as important to shake vigorously to ensure the textured pigment remains blended in the can, this allows for proper spray. Give us a call at 800-481-4785, so we can hear more about your application and try to make things right.

    This is not what we expect to hear! For the best results, we recommend applying several light coats of Rust-Oleum Stops Rust MultiColor Textured Spray Paint a few minutes apart. If applying over a glossy surface, lightly sanding the surface will help create a surface profile.

    Paint did not look anything like the color on the cap. The paint did not flow properly despite it and the object being painted being the proper temperature. It was not sticking well to the primed surface. This resulted in runs and uneven surface finish. I do not recommend this paint.

For best results using Rust-Oleum Stops Rust MultiColor Textured Spray Paint, shake the can vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle, also, shake often during use.

    Blended Nicely with Existing Color and Texture
    Bought this to cover repairs to an XMAS statue. The grit blended in with the texture in the plaster tohide the repair very well.

    Paint was very blochy and did not dry properly. I ended up just scraping it off with a razor blade and used something else.

    That's not what we expect to hear, Steve! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust MultiColor Textured Spray Paint is designed for use on metal, fiberglass, or previously painted surfaces. If applying over a contrasting color, we do recommend applying a similar color base coat first to help with coverage. We also recommend applying several light coats a few minutes apart to help build the finish.

    Let's talk about this, Jon! Since this is an aerosol product, you want to ensure that you are applying it in an area with good air circulation and ventilation. For the best coverage, we also recommend applying Rust-Oleum Stops Rust MultiColor Textured Spray Paint over a similar color base coat. The use of a base coat or primer is highly recommended for porous surfaces like bare cement.

    I used this paint over a similar colored background. The coverage was minimal. After 3 cans of this paint, the chair was only 75% painted and the base coat was still visible. It seemed like the cans were only partially filled with a clear paint that had sand like texture. Rust-oleum has always been excellent but not this paint!

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust MultiColor Textured Spray Paint will cover best when multiple lighter coats are applied a few minutes apart. Each can has a recommended coverage of 4-8 square feet. However, surfaces with more open space may have less coverage due to the overspray.
