I used it to overcoat a yellow enamel paint job with a glitter coat overlay. Nice coverage with a fairly heavy 3 costs. Easy to apply with no sags or runs. Dried nicely with a good shine and no obvious tint or yellowing in the clear coat. Nice product and I will be using it again.

Let's see what we can figure out Taylor. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint is an oil based ultra durable, corrosion-resistant spray paint. It dries to the touch in 2-4 hours and can be handled in 5-9 hours.

Ruined my project and added hours to finish it!
I used Rustoleum products countless times in the past and I don’t know what happened here but this product absolutely ruined an otherwise beautiful project! Followed instructions and have done this before, very unhappy customer!

      Nice coverage without the need of primer
      I like the way the product delivers the paint based on how do you spray without a problem. As long you’re doing light coats the stuff really delivers to show excellence at the end of the job. It’s is made in USA and it’s priced just right. You can’t miss on this one!

      GS500E Motorcycle Highlight Parts
      I've also attached my attempt with the Rustoleum Regal Red Enamel Gloss Protective, the color was horrible compared to the Dupli-color. The finish is much more professional with the Dupli-color. I used to airbrush a lot more than now, and this is a comparable experience. I no longer have an exhaust and hood due to COVID-19, so, this is the next best option for DIY. Instead of the Rustoleum Regal Red Enamel, I would suggest using the Dupli-color Cardinal Red BFM0306 for highlighting spare parts on my GS500E motorcycle. It was impossible to find the same red, and Colorrite costs over 16.95 for their aerosol, plus their clear coats which requires over $60 to purchase. So, this saved me. I'm currently working on the chain guard, engine guards, and will start working on the battery cover soon. This is the exact, if not close, Candy Anteres Red for Suzuki GS500E 1992 to 2009 bikes. I'm very happy. Bought the Perfect Match High Gloss Clear Coat BCL0125. Haven't done the top coat yet. But looking forward to it. Many reviews mentioned that the spray nozzle had issues. I did not have the same experience. I also used a spray grip, this helped to spray more evenly. I've used other Rustoleum products before, and am using the Rustoleum Black Sandable Primer before doing any of these coats. That is doing great. The other product that I also suggest is the rust prevention Rustoleum primer (comes in Bronze/Cooper color). Hope this helps.

        We had some decorative pumpkins made from welded horseshoes. We painted them with this orange. One can was enough to paint all three pumpkins although there are a couple of spots that could use a little more paint. It will work well enough to have the pumpkins out for the fall and keep them protected while making them look good.

        This info has helped me so much: this color is perfect to cover painted wicker to make it look natural again!! I always thought wicker was ruined once painted white or black, but nope! This is something any Boho decor lover should have on hand!

          I have used rust-oleum on several different projects and I’m always happy with the way it turns out. This is the first time I’ve used the product on patio furniture. We used a wire brush first. It has a nice smooth finish and I’m looking forward to seeing how long it lasts.

          Painted Baby Changing Table. The VOCs and odors are terrible! It was Painted outdoors. Sat outdoors, day and night for 3 days. Moved into the garage. Sat there for 10 days. Moved to Nursery. Can't stand it. Open windows and two fans. Two weeks later still can't stand it. Tried ozone generator for one hour. Worked temporarily, but smell came back. What other paint can I spray over it to seal in the stench?

            Ordered 2 cases (12 cans) for home delivery on Tuesday May 28th, 2019; received order Thursday May 30th. The product is as described and arrived in perfect condition. So far, I have used about 4 cans to apply a 1st coat to a small car. The car had previously been primered with Rust-Oleum's Professional gray primer (7582) over the original finish (sanded w/ 220 grit). I sanded the primer and then washed the car before painting with Gloss Lagoon enamel. The spray went on to form a nice, smooth coat with opaque color and a gloss finish. At this point, I intend to resand and apply a 2nd coat of Gloss Lagoon enamel, followed by a clear, gloss top coat. The spray pattern is good, however for critical work, I would recommend not trying to empty the can. As the pressure drops in the spray can, the spray volume is somewhat reduced, leading to incomplete coverage. Having to "fill-in" with repeated passes can lead to sagging on vertical surfaces. This is pretty typical of spray cans and I don't think it's a problem unique to this product. I love the color and have received positive comments from several neighbors. I think the value is good, and I would recommend this product. The service and delivery of my order was excellent, IMO.

              I bought a couple of cans of the satin gray spray paint and applied it to my Central Air cage grill which was rusting through after many years. Also applied it to some Con Ed gas pipe in front of the house which was rusting. This was around end of August 2018. I noticed recently in April 2019 after about 6 months that Rust-Oleum formula did not arrest the rusting as rust started breaking through the paint and showing up again. See pics attached. I expected it to work and last longer than that! Although the price is cheap, I guess you get what you pay for. I have to re-do the paint job now.

              That is not what we like to hear! Our Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamels may be applied directly to properly prepared metal. For the best rust protection and prevention over already rusted metal, we recommend priming the surface first using our Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Rusty Metal Primer: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-12-oz-Flat-Rusty-Metal-Primer-Spray-7769830/202056392 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2 Rustoleum

                  Hey Rustoleum, YOUR STUFF SUCKS. I needed all my hours of hardwork refinishing this vintage medicine cabinet for our bathroom, to shrivel up as soon as your own enamel sealant touched your own paint, like I needed a hole in the head. Now I get to scrape it all off and start at the beginning.

                  Oh no, it sounds like a wrinkling issue occurred. Our Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Enamel sprays are solvent-based coatings, and require specific recoat times to prevent solvent reactions such as wrinkling from occurring. To prevent wrinkling, the enamel must be recoated within 1 hour, or after 48 hours. We need to know more about the application to get to the bottom of this.

                    12 OZ. RUSTOLEUM SATIN WHITE SPRAY PAINT MODERN FARMHOUSE If you're looking for a paint that covers well, this is the paint you need. This is a primer and paint, which makes your job so much easier. It has a hint of satin that adds so much more to the finished product. It can be used on wood, metal, plastic and pretty much any surface that can be painted. It dries very quickly, 20 minutes. This is a great way to touch up some of those faded chairs, furniture or those cute signs we all love to have around. With this you can have the “Sleek or Shabby” look. Rustoleum is a well-known name that's been around for years. This is a lovely “white satin” finish paint, and it looks awesome. Rustoleum Satin White Modern Farmhouse Spray Paint is an oil-based acrylic formula that offers superior adhesion, and easy clean up with mineral spirits. Also, this paint will spray from any angle no matter which way it's turned, and you will come out with very consistent coverage. I highly recommend this Rustoleum Satin White Spray Paint by Modern Farmhouse. If you'd like to read more about this paint the OMSID # is 305758780. Rustoleum is a great, well-known brand that you can trust.

                      The color was perfect once we did two layers, a deep, rich grey. There is not much paint per can though so we had to buy a lot of them to finish our porch project. The photo below was the first coat of paint. How about more paint per can?

                      This is such a great product! I use it on anything exposed to the elements as in fence hinges, mail box, hose guards, lawn chairs, etc. I first used it when I accidentally painted some old iron railings and a security door with regular paint (not paint specifically for metal). When the paint started rusting through I coated it with clear rustoleum and it saved my job! I have also used it on an old metal shed which I repainted with colored rustoleum paints to add some extra gloss (please follow instructions for more than one coat). I have used it over wood paint where it needs some extra protection and even bare wood. I prefer the gloss finish because it gives a nice, glazed look especially if you use more than one coat (again, pls follow instructions on can).

                        Oh no, that doesn't sound right! Uneven gloss levels or streaking can be attributed to a couple of things such as not shaking the can vigorously enough or holding the can too close to the surface while spraying. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Satin Spray should be held 10 to 16 inches from the surface. Spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Be sure to keep the can the same distance from the surface and keep the can in motion while spraying. Apply 2 or more light coats a few minutes apart to avoid drips and runs. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5 Rustoleum

                          Paint with confidence. I repurpose and refinish some furniture depending on what i find.I found this brass and glass end-table that almost looks like the legs could be pipe pieces together. Somewhat an industrial look so i wanted to repurpose it for my man cave theme. After i roughed up the finish i applied this Coastal Gray satin finish on and absolutely love it. once i added the New wood top and added a small cabinet with a drawer under it, the end-table came out prefect. Great addition to my man cave and as always a great finish from Rust-Oleum
