Questions & Answers

I'm looking to make a stake to hold a gate closed. Tool will be frequently driven/removed/re-driven. Not suitable to use galvanized material because I'm going to be grinding the ends down. Will this product hold up?

Answer This Question

Thank you for your question, Andy! While Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Clear Enamel Spray Paint will provide some corrosion protection, we would not expect it to hold up well on the portion of the stake that is repeatedly driven into and removed from the ground. The abrasion from soil, rocks, and impact can quickly wear away any coating. For better long-term protection, a primer and paint system or a zinc-rich coating would be a better choice, though periodic touch-ups may still be needed. The upper portion of the stake should remain protected longer since it is not exposed to the same wear. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15

    can I use this on an outside metal oil tank that has small rust spots without using a primer
    ByAug 10, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Thanks for your interest, Rick! Yes, Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint can be applied directly to lightly rusted metal without a separate primer, provided all loose rust and peeling paint are removed and the surface is clean and dry. However, for the best long-term rust protection on an exterior metal oil tank, we recommend first applying a primer such as Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Clean Metal Primer before the finish coat. Apply several light coats and test in a small area first to ensure satisfactory adhesion and appearance. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-12-oz-Flat-White-Clean-Metal-Primer-Spray-7780830/100143442 — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15

      Best black paint for a shower door
      ByAug 6, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Thank you for your interest! While Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint can be applied to metal surfaces, the high moisture and humidity that a shower door is exposed to will cause the paint to blister and peel. Currently, we do not have any coating that will provide a durable, long-lasting finish for this use. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15

          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Jose, happy to help! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Clear Spray does provide UV resistance to help protect the finish. However, if the surface is exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, periodic reapplication may be needed to maintain the best appearance and protection. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

            Answer This Question

            Happy to help! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel can also be used on wood surfaces. If it's bare wood, we recommend priming first with a suitable primer, such as Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Base Primer. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Bulls-Eye-1-2-3-Plus-13-oz-White-Interior-Exterior-Primer-Spray-272479/203985969 — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15

              Answer This Question

              Happy to help, Douglas! To ensure full adhesion of Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint on the exterior surfaces of vinyl gutters, the surface will need to be primed with a primer suitable for vinyl.

                  I followed the instructions for shaking and spraying, but after three light coats, I still ended up with streaks of varying sheens on the cabinet (was primered). It looks terrible. I sanded the side of the cabinet I used it on with fine sandpaper, but still could see the streaks/strips. It does have a nice finish (other then the shinny/dull stripes), but I won't use it again - will stick with a sponge roller or my paint sprayer.

                  Thank you for sharing your experience with Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint. If the finish showed noticeable glossy and dull areas after multiple light coats, it may have been caused by uneven coating build or variations in how the paint laid down during application. We appreciate your feedback and will be sure to share it with our team. If you'd like, call us at 800-481-4785 andnd we’d be happy to assist you further.
