Questions & Answers
Can I paint a gas grill with this paint?
We're happy to guide you to the right product for the exterior metal surfaces of a gas grill, Augie! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel can only withstand temperatures up to 200° F, so we wouldn't recommend it for your project. Instead, use Rust-Oleum Specialty High Heat Paint. This paint is suitable for the exterior only metal surfaces. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Specialty-1-Quart-High-Heat-Flat-Matte-Bar-B-Que-Black-Enamel-Interior-Exterior-Paint-2-Pack-7778502/202058875 — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
is paint self leveling
Great question, Randy! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel does have good flow and leveling properties, helping brush marks smooth out as it dries. However, it is not considered a dedicated self-leveling paint like some specialty cabinet or floor coatings. For the smoothest finish, apply thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. Allow 24 hours between coats. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Can I paint a car with this?
Fred, we appreciate your interest! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Paint is suitable for use on exterior metal surfaces and can be applied with a paint sprayer. Please keep in mind this is not an automotive paint, and it will not thin or apply the same way as automotive paints. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Can I paint over surface rust with this product
Kevin, happy to help! Yes, Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Paint can be applied over rust. Ensure that the surface beforehand is in sound condition and no loose or flaking rust remains. Once the surface is clean and dry, you can move forward with the application of the protective enamel paint. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Oil based?
We appreciate you reaching out, Michael! Yes, Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel is an oil-based paint. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Can this be used on new exterior copper pipes for irrigation? Do I also need a primer? Thanks for your help!
Great question, Joseph! Before painting copper pipes with Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Paint, make sure the surface is completely clean and dry. Prime with Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Clean Metal Primer, followed by two coats of the protective enamel. Allow 24 hours between all coats. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-1-qt-Flat-White-Clean-Metal-Primer-7780502/100126115 — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
My black decorative metal mailbox post has faded and has a small amount of rust on it. I purchased a new black standard mailbox to fit on the post. Is this Rustoleom interior/exterior paint in the satin sheen appropriate for repainting the post?
Great question, Sharon. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel provides a durable rust preventative coating for interior or exterior metal surfaces, making it a great choice for your mailbox. Please note, galvanized metal will hinder the adhesion of the paint and will require a primer. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
I have a fence, a metal fence around swimming pool. I want to paint it blue.It is currently white. Should I primer, or just paint the restolium right over it? Also, it's monsoon season, so high humidity.Will it dry quick?
Happy to clear things up, Annie. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel can be applied directly to non galvanized metal surfaces without the need for a primer. However, applying a primer like Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Clean Metal Primer will always help to promote the best adhesion. To ensure the coating cures to its full hardness humidity should remain below 85% as it cures for 7 days. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-1-qt-Flat-White-Clean-Metal-Primer-2-Pack-7780502/202058877 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
