Customer Reviews for Rust-Oleum Stops Rust 12 Ounce Flat White Clean Metal Primer Aerosol Spray (Case of 6)

When I first sprayed the fixture I did NOT shake the can well enough. I’m really upset about it because I had to sand it down and reprime it. I shook it for about 5 minutes so I assumed that would be good but I would recommend spray testing before using on your actual project. The second light (smaller vanity light) turned out perfect and smooth. I guess I shook it better the second time I used the same can. One can was used on these two fixtures and I still have over half a can left!

I had a can of this spray primer for a while and I do all the recommended steps. Shake for at least 1 minute (my personal minimum is 3 minutes), I clean the nozzle between uses. Still clogs the nozzles. I had a can of Automotive primer (gray in color) that I used up but the nozzle was still good. Tried it on this can and it did the same thing after about 3 minutes of spraying. The picture I attached has the gray and white primer on the nozzle. I also wish Rust-o-leum sold replacement nozzles.

Worked great enjoyed using

I am no DIY expert but, it has recently become a hobby. I found that this product made my final color stand out and adhere very well to the table I was refurbishing.

Its hard to judge this product, it is probably the most durable primer for metal, however in the wrong hands it can run easily as a few members reported. With that said I had a professional sprayer coat two fenders and a hood and not one drip, so this is the correct product in the right hands. If your not used to spraying and spraying something ( especially vertically) where the finish is of great significance like a car, I wouldn't take on the task yourself, get someone with experience as it is extremely difficult to sand off, which is a good thing. If this is for a mailbox or so, than have at it.

This primer worked really great on my wrought iron railings. I striped them down to bare metal with my angle grinder and sprayed this on the next morning. About 15 mins later I went into two coats of satin Canyon Black paint. Everything bonded really well and I am pleased with the results. I will note when spray painting, you need to cover any area you dont want paint on. I found that especially true with this primer. It 'travelled' further than the black paint. Can has good coverage, thick coat. Both railings took 3 cans/coat.

Sprayed on nicely and evenly, left a great finish. Top coat adhered well and left a top notch finish.

The coverage of the white primer applied well on both bare metal and previous painted prepared surfaces.

The can is full and won’t spray. Nozzles are clear. Almost as if there is no pressure. Will be returning to store.

Thin compared to Kilz complete. Does not cover as well.

Easy to use and covered the area with minimal usage.

I used the spray can as a follow up to an epoxy primer that I had previously applied. This particular primer worked very well, wet sanded easily, and applied simple for a rattle can.

This primer looks slickr n snail snot 10 outta 10 I'd do it again

Worked like a charm. Followed up with a chrome finish on metal.

Welded a new gate for the side yard. Needed to be primed to withstand the weather

I bought this and a premium brand and there is a stark difference in the outcome. Spend the extra few bucks and get the nicer option, this drips and isnt full coverage

After a horrible experience with this paint I came back and read the questions. Rustoleum rep first says this paint take 48 hours to dry. Then reading more they then say 7-10 DAYS to dry. This is some sort of "green" crap paint. There is no mention on label of these extreme drying times. Who would ever even think about making a product that take 7 DAYS to dry. If you try and sand it it is still wet underneath. The rustoleum rep even mentions this. Now after wasting 6 hours on what I was painting I have to take it to get completely sandblasted clean and start over.

This take 4-5 hours to dry. It is near impossible to sand. Not compatible with Automotive paints. Seriously worst paint I ever purchased.
