Questions & Answers
Can this be sprayed on poster paper to protect a cut out staked into the grass for Halloween?
Thanks for your interest! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Crystal Clear Enamel can be applied to poster paper, but we recommend testing it on a small, inconspicuous area first. Because paper is very porous, heavy coats may cause wrinkling, curling, or discoloration. Applying several light coats a few minutes apart is the best way to minimize these effects. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Can I spray this on a latex mask on a Halloween animatronic being put outside?
Alix, we appreciate your interest! Due to the material of the mask, Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover 2X Clear Spray will not properly adhere or dry due to the flexible rubber surface. Currently we do not offer a clear coat that we can recommend for your project needs. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
I have patio chairs that are power coated steel with an aluminum panel and HDPE foot rail covers over powder coated steel. Is the a primer suitable for the aluminum panel and HDPE plastic before I top coat with rust protection spray paint? Thank you
Happy to help! While Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint provides a durable finish for metal surfaces, it will not properly adhere to plastic surfaces. Instead, we recommend priming the surface using Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Universal Bonding Primer before top coating. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-12-oz-Universal-Bonding-Primer-Spray-6-Pack-285011/205926957 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
Would this work for headlight restoration top coat
We appreciate your interest, Jeff. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Clear Spray is suitable for use on metal, wood, and fiberglass surfaces. This product will not properly adhere to glass or plastic surfaces. At this time, we do not recommend any of our clear sprays for use on headlights, since the plastics commonly used with this surface type hinders paint adhesion. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
I would like to put a coating on a ( drum) brake BACKING PLATE, the circular stamped metal plate which serves as the point of attachment for the brake shoes, and the springs holding everything in place. I need abrasion resistance.
Thank you for your question, Greg. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Crystal Clear Enamel can help protect metal from corrosion, but it is not designed to withstand the abrasion that occurs on drum brake backing plates where brake shoes and hardware make contact. Those wear points are likely to wear through any coating over time. For this reason, we do not recommend clear coating the contact areas of the backing plate. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
I’m painting a metal outdoor couch frame that has rust spots on the frame. How long am I required to let it dry before putting cushions back on it?
Great question, Bradley. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint will dry to handle in 5-9 hours, at this point it is okay to put the cushions back on the couch. We recommend allowing the coating to fully cure for at least 3 days before exposing to regular use. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
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?
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
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
