Customer Reviews for Rust-Oleum Stops Rust 1 qt. Protective Enamel Gloss Smoke Gray Interior/Exterior Paint

I used both Blue and Red protective enamel paint over fresh new wood to paint the airplane swing I made for my three year old grandson when he visited us for a week from Colorado. Next summer we will drive up there and hang it in his backyard and has been designed, built and sealed then painted to withstand outdoor use, year round.

Easy to use, fast drying, great cover in damage areas

I purchased this paint at first, to use as an undercoat, for my bathroom vanity. I frequently distress items, and was using the black to go under another top coating of white, to then be sanded in areas to look like an aged piece of furniture. My vanity was in sad shape. Everything was disassembled, and laid out for the process. Two coast of each paint were going to be needed. However, after the first two coats of black on the vanity, I changed my mind about distressing the unit. It looked beautiful on it's own, in this rich looking black that made my vanity stand out, and really look like it was a brand new item in the room. It also looked VERY expensive - something that I was pleasantly surprised by! The paint was supposed to be flat, but it still had some sheen to it, and in this case I liked it, but I'm not sure how it would be if one was actually trying to achieve a flat finish. It may have been the material that was being painted, or not, I really am not sure - but I figured that I'd at least mention it. I ended up putting four light coats onto the vanity and finished with two coats of a clear varnish. Normally I would stop at two coats, (it did look fine at this point, however it being a frequently used piece, I wanted to make sure that it had maximum coverage to keep it looking new for as long as possible). **Wooden Furniture Appliques were also applied with wood glue and also painted, at the same time. These were then, detailed with a product called "Buff & Rub" (available at craft stores and online), in Silver to enhance the piece. I also used Rust-Oleum Brushed Silver spray paint on my handles, and they also came out looking fantastic! The finished product ended up costing me under $20.00! And, it looks like I spent a heck of a lot more!

A great paint for spraying. Thin as instructed by Rust-Oleum with acetone. However, too much thinning will not be as durable, but the cured finish is almost perfect, needing very little sanding and recoating.

Great product. Wish that it came in a larger size

I am very happy with this Rust-Oleum Paint. I used it for newly installed French doors with a foam roller and the results were very good.

Paint was what we had used before so we knew how it was. Wish they carried it in gallons.

i;m glad they still make oil based paint

Deep Black, super gloss, lays down and reduces brush marks very well, dries hard. Very difficult to dry sand - loads sandpaper quickly, but this may be due to thick coating and only waiting 24 hours before sanding level.

Dries to the touch very quickly. Almost too quickly whilst still applying
