Disappointed pumpkin
Really like the color, however after only using it for about 3min into the job nozzle stopped up. I have had the same problem with their "hammered" paints also. Is their quality going down? I notice that their prices have gone up. I have used Rustoleum on so many projects over the years even on my farm equipment. This time was only for a small hay roll making look like a pumpkin for the grankids. Won't they be disappointed! Full can cleaned the nozzle, shaking constantly, nothing worked. Wasted $

    Color is off
    Using this for a big project for my daughter. Wood was prepped and used white primer. The color on the lid was exactly what we wanted, the color of the paint was not close. It was tinted red-orange. I shook the can 3-5 minutes before using and continued to shake during use (I’m not new to spray paint). I was hoping it would dry more pink, it did not. Going to sand this mess off and shop for a replacement paint.

    Oh no, not something we like to hear. After proper shaking to ensure the pigment is well mixed inside the can, which you certainly did, the color typically matches the cap perfectly. Please give us a call at 800-481-4785, so we can hear more about your application and try to make things right.

      Looks orange Not pink!!
      We used this on metal over a white primer and it looks orange. Very disappointed. I even double checked the paint because I could not believe the can said pink!

      Something is amiss here, Jen! Our Rust-Oleum Specialty Fluorescent Spray Paints should match the color of the protective cap precisely. We need a bit more information from the can to get to the bottom of this. Please give us a call at 800-481-4785, we want to try to make things right! - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2 Rustoleum
        Great Sign Paint
        Great for routed trail signs on treated boards, then covered with a spray lacquer. Really pops in the woods

        slow is the key as many mentioned.
        I use rustoleum a lot and paint slow to fo ast later. Also, this flourescent green at 70 deg min and 50 percent relative humidity (one hour after plastic primer) looks really good and even an amateur like me could carryout.

          Color is definitely off-kilter
          I've used these neon spray paints for projects over the years and always liked them for when I want vibrant stand-out color. But something has happened to their pigmentation and I have pictures to illustrate - the folks on here who say it's more orange than pink are correct. I had an old can of this product from maybe 15 years ago, which was like 1/3 full and I tried to use it on a new project. The pressure quickly ran out and I thought, no biggie, it's old and it's only a few dollars, I'll get a new one. But the color is VERY different now, a weird orange-pink combo. It does not match the cap at all. You can see the old can on the left and new can on the right, both are called bright neon pink, both same manufacturer. But then see the other picture - the thing I'm painting is in the upper right and the cardboard I was using for a backing previously has the remnants of the old can's color...now THAT was pink. New one, not so much. You may well be OK with this, but don't think you're actually getting pink. It's disturbing to me because I had a color scheme planned assuming pink as the base color and now I'm not sure what I'm going to do. So - be aware of this odd mismatch. I feel bad because I've been using these for years and the coverage and quality have always been good. But this color is just way off.

          Something is amiss here, Keith. Keep in mind that our Rust-Oleum Specialty Fluorescent Spray Paint contains a lot of pigment. It is important to shake the can for at least one minute once the mixing ball begins to rattle, and shake often during the application process. This will ensure that the pigment remains evenly incorporated in the can.

            Oh no, that is not what we like to hear David! ! Rust-Oleum Specialty Fluorescent Spray Paint contains a lot of pigment, for that reason is it important to shake the can vigorously once the mixing ball begins to rattle. During the painting process is it just as important to shake vigorously to ensure the pigment remains blended in the can, this ensures proper color and finish.

              Goes on watery and uneven
              As other reviewers pointed out, this is a terrible spray paint. I used it on black metal frame, and the watery paint was barely visible (haven't had this issue with other brands). Primed the frame with Montana Gold brand spray paint (a great product), which made the rustoleum adhere and color pop much better, but the watery effect is still visible. I need to depress the nozzle for much longer than usual to get enough paint out and it's uneven and ugly. I haven't used other brands' neon paints so I don't know if the problem is something unique to this color family, or if Rustoleum needs to adjust their formula. The color comes out looking a little coral, but it does dry hot pink. Looks more on the coral side (still looks pretty) if you really lay the paint on, which you unfortunately have to do. Not worth the trip back to home depot during a pandemic, so I'm gonna make do.

                Color is exactly as is shown, I tried using other brands where the color is not anything like they show. I've used this paint before to make a address sign, which was exposed to the desert's extreme weather & color remained vibrant for years. The only downfall was the cans clogging, I took a pin to unclog it a few times, then it worked good.

                I am a long range target shooter and use the RustOleum Fluorescent Orange paint on my 4"; 6" and 8" steel targets. It holds up really well to weather conditions over several months and is able to be seen clearly at several hundred yards. Since I live in the mountains in fairly wooded areas, I also use this to paint my street number on the base of the driveway which provide air marshals a clearly visible designation/location in the event of a forest fire, the air tankers know exactly where my house is by the 3 foot numbers on the driveway in Fluorescent Orange!

                  I sprayed it on plywood and it was not as bold as I would have liked because the plywood soaked some up. It is better if it has a light colored coat first then fluorescent on top. What you are spraying matters. I was doing a temporary fun thing for my goats. I would think the same with treated wood. Paint with a latex first then the fluorescent, to make it pop..

                  iIuse fluorescent spray paint to highlight points of potential hazards in my environment or to alert others. Spray paint lasts better than fluorescent flagging tape.

                  Nothing wrong with the product, it’s just that the price is ridiculous! Over $8 for a can with only one brand/choice in fluorescent orange color. Shame………

                  That's not what we expect to hear! Since this is a solvent-based coating, Rust-Oleum Specialty Fluorescent Spray Paint can be removed from skin with the help of a cooking oil, just as olive oil. Soap and water will not help remove most spray paints.

                    Had serious adhesion issues. Contacted rustoleum to find out what happened as the paint was pulling back from the white base coat. Fortunately it was a part of the project that looked intentional. These people don't care if you have problems. If you do, you're on your own. Avoid this one.
