12 oz. Textured Black Protective Spray Paint

I was really pleased with the paint that I bought

Quick drying and finely textured. A good, tough, textured paint. Used it on an electronics power supply to match other metal parts.

Excellent appearance and coverage. Looks very close to the original paint I am curious about how well the paint withstands weather over time

This Rust-oleum did exactly what I was hoping it would do. I had a metal plant hanger outside all summer and sprayed it and the baskets and brought it in the house and it looks brand new.

My wife and I have used this on a couple of pieces in our home with very satisfactory results. One is a set of custom shelves made with iron pipe fittings (where we painted the pipes with this stuff), and the other is a modified baker’s rack we bought from a local artisan who designs mobile kitchen islands (where the actual racks were bare aluminum, so we took it apart and painted them). Two or three coats are all you need with this spray paint, and the texture is applied consistently throughout without any need for special consideration. As mentioned above, the texture is very durable, by which I mean that after years of objects rubbing and banging on the shelf piping and the kitchen island hardware, the texture itself is unscathed. The only reason for giving it a 4-star rating instead of 5 stars is that the texture itself can make it difficult to clean these surfaces. I’ve yet to find a material that won’t leave residue behind on a surface painted with this because the texture is so abrasive that lint clings to it. In fact, if your hands are a bit dry, rubbing your finger on a surface will actually leave some dried skin on the surface; it is *that* abrasive. This is easily remedied by going over it with your (slightly moistened) hand to pick up — or roll off — the lint, so it’s not really a deal-breaker in my opinion. Just be aware that cleaning dust off of this can be a two step process: first wipe with a cloth/paper towel/wipe, then wipe the lint/residue off with your fingers. If anybody has a better alternative, I’d love to hear it. Overall, this is a great product which we intend to use again in future projects.

I’ve been using Rust-Oleum paint for over 40 years without issue. This textured paint was horrible! I was spraying my outdoor bar and chairs and thought the texture would be a nice look. However, the cans clogged continuously, which had me running back to Home Depot day after day. Sometimes, I only sprayed for 30 seconds and the rest of the can was lost to it seizing up. When a can clogged, I followed the can instructions, pulled the cap off and dropped it into mineral spirits. No good. It’s not the cap, it’s the stem on the can that gets clogged and there is nothing you can do for that. I even called Rust-Oleum and they said I probably wasn’t shaking the can well enough, but I definitely was shaking it for well over a minute, and shaking it continuously throughout the job to make sure the textured paint was mixed well. This paint also sprays very unevenly, so I will now have to go over the entire job with a flat black paint to smooth things out. I should have stuck with flat black paint and I could have avoided wasting so many days for a job I typically do in just 1 day. Took me 14 cans of this paint at $8/can (usually use 4-5), to finish this job. Home Depot was very gracious however, in refunding me for the clogged cans, so kudos to HD customer service. Do yourself a favor and avoid this paint.

Paint can was clogged and did not work. Will return at next visit.

I must have picked up an old stock that’s been on shelf beyond reasonable. When I tried to use it, the can sputtered and spitted out paint intermittently and in uneven pattern. It made a huge mess by dribbling paint off the can and onto the floor and the work piece. I finally had to give up and repainted with another brand.
