A:  We're happy to help, Alex. While it might not be necessary to prime Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Paint, we recommend priming the surface first with Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water Based Primer for superior adhesion and durability. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Bulls-Eye-1-2-3-1-qt-White-Water-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-2004/100398398 -Rust-Oleum -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

A:  Great question. We recommend that if you apply the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Metallic Paint to metal, you would need to prime it first with the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Primer. Keep in mind that these products do not offer rust protection if that is something you are looking for. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Painter-s-Touch-32-oz-Ultra-Cover-Flat-Gray-Primer-General-Purpose-Paint-1980502/100181250 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

A:  Sure can, Rosie! The Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover General Purpose Paint can be used on a wood surface. Please know that the product isn't suggested for use on a walking wood surface, such as a deck or patio. We hope this helps! - Rust-Oleum Product Support 1

A:  Happy to help, Bernardo. Before applying Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Paint, any smooth, hard, or glossy finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface profile. We recommend applying a test area first to ensure compatibility with the surface. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

A:  You'd be surprised, Julie, but adding tint to products that are already tinted, may cause drying issues. For this reason, we are unable to recommend adding tint to the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch General Purpose Paint. If desired, you can take another color from the same line, and try to create a color. If you do so, you may want to create a recipe card so that you recall what was used last time! - Rust-Oleum Product Support 1

A:  Happy to help! Typically, only one coat of Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Paint is needed. However, if you are applying over bare wood or metal, or over a contrasting color, an additional coat may be needed for full coverage. The use of a primer can help with coverage too. We recommend Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer for most surfaces. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Bulls-Eye-1-2-3-1-Gal-White-Water-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-2001/100398391 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

A:  Great question! To ensure full adhesion of Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Paint on plastic, the surface must first be primed.

A:  Happy to help, Jim! In ideal conditions, Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Paint is fully dry after 2–4 hours, however the paint will take several days to fully cure.

This paint cures after 6 hours. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-1-qt-Satin-White-Door-Paint-Case-of-2-369384/325667467 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
