Colors are WAY off
Ordered the vanilla milkshake thinking it was a cream color based off the online image, however, it turned out to be a weird blue-ish off white/grey color . Pictures to follow! Otherwise, the paint gets the job done . Will be hesitant to purchase again due to the lack of consistency.

We need to know more to get to the bottom of this. While viewing colors on smart phones and computers can often not represent the true color, Vanilla Milkshake should not appear blue. Give us a call at 800-481-4785 so we can hear more about your application and work to make things right.

    Easy to use and makes a world of difference!
    I wanted to test out the floor paint in my upstairs bathroom before using it in my main one. After the result I’ll definitely be moving forward to paint the main bath! The product is easy to use and the directions are easy to follow. And it’s only been a couple of months so far but it’s held up well! I thought the hardest part was picking the color since I couldn’t really get a sample. But I loved what it did for my old ugly floors. Can’t wait to use again!

      Couldn’t be happier!
      I loved this product. It came with everything you need (besides brushes) with a detailed description on how to best use the product. This was the first big diy product I did by myself and this kit made it very achievable. The coverage of the paint goes along way and I still have plenty of the top coat left. So it’s a good bang for your buck if you ask me. I even had enough paint left over to do my pantry doors! I will say sometimes the steps feel lengthy but take your time and it turns out wonderful. My biggest tip would be to find a table to lay your doors on while painting them - I had them in risers on the ground and it hurt my back after awhile.

        Product is great, colors are WAY off! Coastal Fog looks BLUE!
        This product is amazing, is super easy to use, and does exactly what it says it will do. However, do NOT TRUST THE COLOR SWATCHES SHOWN ONLINE OR ON THE BOX. We ordered the Coastal Fog online, so it was tinted when we received it. Coastal Fog, both online and on the box, looks like a beige/greige type color. We put it on and let it dry, and it was almost baby blue. I took it back and had Home Depot mix a new one at the store, and they had to custom mix a color and then add 4 extra shots of brown to get it to no look blue. I don't know if these bases just naturally want to pull blue, but it definitely looked blue when it dried. Even after mixing a custom color and adding the extra shots of brown it still pulled a smidge blue, but was much better. My advice is to get this tinted in store so you can see the color before applying!

          Good so far
          This product was fairly easy to apply ... make sure you follow all thedirect and do your prep work .... also keep area from dust and hair .... the top coat and some stenciling made a big difference for me but time will tell how long the prodict will last on the floors

            No strong odors. Product is really thick with great coverage, goes a long way. I used it in the main bathroom of the house and it has help up so far. It is a quick and inexpensive fix to change the color of the tiles without having to replace. I went from pink tiles to syeam gray. Use foam roller to apply. No sanding just deep clean after cleaning used alcohol to remove any risidue.

            It was so easy to use and clean up was very easy. I love the look of the floor, and the color was great. I read one rating that said it was difficult to mix, so when I received the paint, I took it to my Home Depot to have it shaken, and it was easy to mix. I would highly recommend this product

            Love our floors! This easy to use kit includes a floor cleaner, base paint and a satin top coat. Our base color is Steamed Grey, once painted we decided we were brave enough to add more color for depth. Mixed the base coat with Rustoleum Chalk Paint in Aged Grey. Sealed it with the top coat and are enjoying the overall color and durability. Will add some diy stenciling in time. Good product, would recommend.

              This product completely transformed by bathroom. I actually used three base coats instead of 1, but I was going from Navy to Ultra White. I still have nearly half of my gallon left. I definitely recommend this. I do not know how it will age, but will update once I do. When my house was constructed they put floor tiles around the bathrub and on the bathroom counters, so that is where I used this.

                  It’s only been a few days since I finished painting the floors but they look great! I’m happy with the product. I was concerned at first bc the step 1 leave the floor a little tacky, but step 2 outs an even polished coat on top. Looks and feels like pre fab tile

                  I hated the dated flooring in my upstairs bathroom. Got the quart of this in the kit with the top coat. Did white so took 2 coats. It worked so well!! I was impressed!

                    I love this product!! I spent A LOT of time cleaning and prepping the floor but darn this stuff rocks! The floor refinishing system turned my dull, old looking tan floor tiles to a clean, awesome white. It's holding up great and looks terrific!! I am glad I did it before moving into the house because the many layers of floor stuff would have made using the kitchen virtually impossible for 3-4 days. Great PRODUCT!!

                      choose the matte finish
                      Update on our 70s slate tile. The light grey is gunmetal with semigloss and is too shiny. We went with dark charcoal matte instead

                        Semi gloss more like high gloss
                        We have 70’s slate tile in our entryway that needed an update. This kit was very easy to use. The first color I selected was gunmetal with a semi gloss finish. I do no recommend the semigloss. Its very glossy. The gunmetal has a blue undertone as well. We were unhappy with the finish and Rustoleum was awesome and refunded due to the dissatisfaction with the finish The second time around we did a the dark charcoal with matte finish and its amazing.

                          We used this paint in our laundry room I loved the finish product. Super easy, came with everything you need. Way too much glaze tho they could offer a smaller can.

                            Love this product! Went on well And was easy to apply with the right tools. I used a roller and brush to go along edge and brush where grout areas. Love the color and upkeep is easy so far.

                            Juniper is Navy
                            I got the Juniper color and it looks nothing like the color online. It’s a grayish navy. I went back to the store twice to add yellow and it’s still just blue. I will wait until I get vaccinated to try and figure out a different paint to use. I will not be using this room, so I can’t speak to the durability of the paint. I did use an expensive, professional roller and primer because it was unfinished wood with pet stains. It would definitely still need a second base coat if I didn’t hate the color.

                              literally everything about this product is disappointing.
                              I have painted tile floors many times, and was excited to find a product that was actually designed for it (previously I've used combo porch paint and polyurethane). Unfortunately, this product has been a waste of my time and money. 1) The charcoal gray that arrived is not gray like the picture - it's pretty much black. I wanted a color that would better hide dust and dirt, but now I have a floor that looks like a chalkboard, basically highlighting every dusty foot or paw print. 2) The instructions recommend against sanding, and against applying more than one base coat. I trusted them, and the result is a floor that looks very much like a single coat of paint was applied to a non-sanded surface - it's blotchy with thin spots. 3) after the top coat, I let the floow cure well in excess of the 72 hours recommended. Today (a week later) I had a pine step stool on it, less than 10lbs, sitting on it. I nudged the stool over a few inches (instead of lifting it) - that was enough to take the paint right off under one of the (soft pine) feet. In conclusion, I'm going to have to redo the whole floor (400sqft) over some future long weekend. What a pain.

                                online purchase doesnt assure its mixed
                                I normally dont write reviews when im annoyed with a product. Reviews are meant for the product itself and my issue is with Home Depot. I’ll come back to adjust the rating when i see how it actually works. If you order this online to save time from going to the store, dont bother. They dont pre mix before they ship it to you. This has obviously been sitting for a very long time. Not crazy though, ill use my paint mixer attachment for the drill. Do not do this.. the top coat is way too thin for the lowest and slowest setting of your drill. It went all over my bathroom- cabinets, walls, floors. This would take me hours to hand mix. So now ill have to go to the store anyways to get it mixed

                                That is not what we like to hear, Katie! Our Rust-Oleum Home Top Coat is a clear, water-based urethane, and is not mixed prior to shipping if ordered online. Mixing by hand with a paint stir stick is necessary prior to each use; drill mixing is not recommended, as bubbles will be introduced into the coating. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2 Rustoleum

                                  This wasn't quite as easy to apply as the videos suggested, but then this room has miles of baseboards and a fireplace to work around. I let it cure for a week before replacing furniture and the rug. Our dog gallops through now, with the grandchildren, and it seems like a very durable finish. I covered wood-look ceramic tile, and it achieved the look I wanted. It looks like painted wood floors. I used aged gray, and wish I'd chosen the matte top coat instead of semigloss, but I still love it!
