Excellent product! I used this spray paint to “transform” some old dressers that had great bones but was in desperate need of a cosmetic face lift. Needless to say, they turned out great! I would just caution to PLEASE use the paint outside as there is a significant amount of overspray and the fumes can be quite harsh.

I followed the simple direction and the paint was easy to use but the directions says to allow 48 hours to completely dry. I used on the bottoms on some glasswear. I allowed then 48 hours and set in my glass dining table and they stuck to the table and left ring. I was able to gently remove them and was able to clear the right rings with polish remover(acetone). I suggest allowing them to fully dry for 72 hrs to 5 days. They look beautiful. Very pleased. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This product works great, from the ergonomic design of the spray can to the quality of the finish. It covers very well, and lays out smooth. I used it on plastic vehicle parts and it is very resilient to the elements.

Thank you for sharing your experience! In ideal conditions, Rust-Oleum Universal Spray Paint and Primer in One is dry enough to handle after 1 hour. For the best results, we do recommend applying several light, even coats a few minutes apart, verses applying 1 heavy coat. You can lightly sand the surface to help smooth it out before recoating. We recommend waiting 24 hours after sanding before recoating.

This is a fantastic product. It sprays evenly and takes a short amount of time to dry. I am so pleased, my outlet covers look wonderful. They are shiny and rich looking.now they match the door knobs that I just installed This can is still not empty and I have sprayed so many outlet covers, plugs for the outlets.I even sprayed my brass wreath holder. I am so impressed with this product.

I needed a color that was close to a fabric I was using, I've had issues finding other paints that are true to the cap color. I was very happy with the color match to the cap after my test piece. The drying time suggested between coats in the instructions were good for my time restraint to complete my project. I also used two other Rust-Oleum colors that I masked off following the recoat times. I was very satisfied with the results

Versatile - Good Coverage - Durable
If I didnt have any other weekend project I’d probably go around my home looking for things to paint with this spray paint. Anything from door knobs to door stops to toilet paper holders. What about those brass light fixtures that you simply dont want to get rid off? This spray paint is so versatile. It has very good coverage and looks great on anything from wood to metal. It is very oily though so you may want to use gloves. I haven’t had any issues with nozzles. Alsolutely love this spray paint and highly recommend

Used on old cast iron chairs. Honestly did this the lazy way and didn't clean off all the rusted parts and the coverage is still amazing. Super easy, dried fast, and my chairs look so good. Just don't wear flip flops.

Been remodeling the master bathroom, and a lot of the fixtures needed to be changed to the bronze. Couldn't find fixtures, so I spray painted the ones I had! They look awesome!! Also did the sliding doors and the tracts for the shower too! Anyone who has seen the bathroom cannot believe that the fixtures and shower doors and frame are painted!!

Missing Nozzle
Same as others - Great color but HD and other stores are not stocking it anymore. I purchased the last can, wanted four total, and started spraying...it spit and spattered leaving an unacceptable finish. I looked at the nozzle to find it was missing...WTHeck. Now I have a full can but cant use it. I will return it and will now have to select another color and redue all of my 17 items I sprayed using Dark Steel

Uh-oh, that is odd! While it is important to shake the can of Rust-Oleum Universal Metallic Spray vigorously for at least 1 minute before use as well as often during application to ensure an even flow of the product, we need to know more about your experience to get to the bottom of this. Please call us at 800-481-4785 to discuss further. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5 Rustoleum

    I’ve been using this paint for a few years now on a variety of projects including outdoor furniture, wrought iron deck framing, outdoor light fixtures and interior hardware, and it has never disappointed me. My first project is about 3 years old now, and it is only showing signs of wear on the plastic end caps of the patio furniture. Where it adheres to metal, it looks as good as the day I first painted it on. It goes on smooth and has a rich metallic luster, but isn’t shiny. A few tips from my experience: it really apply evenly 360 degrees, so don’t tip over the can when you are done to clear the nozzle. It’ll keep going, and going, and going until you realize you are a goof. About 1 in 10 cans will sputter and spit and cause you to swear. Just make sure you start each can on a non-vital area or test spray. If the can starts out good, it will spray like a dream, if it starts out blotchy, STOP and return that can to Home Depot. They are always awesome about exchanging it for a new can.

      I used the spray cans to paint two black mannequins for my wife's clothing business. The pearl champagne covered the black plastic mannequins amazingly well. Very impressive. I really like the "trigger" feature of the spray cans, as it's so much easier to paint. Also great is the self priming all-in-one can! Thank you Rustoleum.

      This was my first DIY project with spray paint. I used it on milk cans for decoration. The spray went on nicely, evenly, and was a bonus that you could spray it at any angle. It dried a little darker than I anticipated.and doesn't seem to look as metallic as I was expecting. Overall I'm satisfied.

      This is another great aerosol paint product from Rustoleum. It goes on smooth and dries quickly and the finished product looks even and the color is consistent. Be sure to shake the heck out of it before starting and also once in a while when you are spraying. The trigger is a clever design just be sure to press it fully because if you don't it will sputter and splatter. Also be sure to clean and scuff the surface that you are painting for good adhesion. When I was done I think that the finish could be mistaken for powder coat!

      I purchased this paint after seeing a project on Pinterest. Oh my goodness this worked prefect. I painted a glass mason jar to use during a church ladies day luncheon. It turned out beautiful, easy to paint and the color is just lovely. It has just enough shimmering effect to make it classy. I have to say I painted it last year and it still has held up great. It would be a great color for a little girls room, so small or large project. Rust-oleum is my go to spray paint. Love this brand...can't beat it. But the only down fall to Rust-oleum Universal spray is there just seems to be less in it than the other sprays, plus more expensive. But I still love it. Sorry no pic left item at church.

        The gunmetal grey metal patio furniture I bought years ago is definitely showing its age after 16 wet, cold winters and hot summers. But I love it, and didn't want to replace it. Today my handyman was over doing a few other things to my aging home, and he said he could easily repaint the furniture. He ran over to HD and got this paint. He then painted the furniture much more meticulously than I would have, and he did so in a few layers. It looks amazing. Pics don't do it justice. He's coming back in a few days to do some other work, and will give it a final coat at that time. I've read other reviews complaining of a leaking sprayer. That was not an issue at all. BTW, this job took about 1 1/2 cans. I'm overjoyed with this! Now all I need is a new umbrella.

          The label says "Metallic Paint & Primer In One;" color-Pearl Mist, but that's not what comes out of the can. What comes out is barely any color, yes I shook if for over 15 minutes and continued shaking the can the whole time I was painting. The nozzle is poorly designed and sends paint all over with very little hitting the surface, especially if you hold the can 12 inches away. I wanted to paint a black 16 in W x 60 in H x 9 in D open wire bakers rack (very little actual surface area to cover). Less then halfway through the first can I noticed that the color was looking more silver then pearly. I figured since the base was black it might take more coats then I thought. Several light coats later and one can empty there was still black showing through. After the second full can it's still silver and not fully covered. I called Rust-oleum, sent pictures and emailed back and forth. They are issuing me a refund but still suggested that it "will require more of the paint to fully cover this surface." I don't think so. I will go buy one can of Krylon and have it done.

            Wasn't sure what to expect from the this paint but it really did exceed my expectations. I used it to paint a white bathroom mirror to match the new oil rubbed bronze light fixture, towel and tp holders I installed. I followed the instructions precisely and the paint went on smoothly and dried with a beautiful matte yet slightly sparkly finish. I gave it a total of three light coats.Totally gave a second life to the mirror. Best money I've spent throughout this remodel.

            The front triangular area of the horse trailer was dull, blistered and rusted. After treating it with Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer, I applied the All Surface Titanium Silver Paint and Primer. It covered beautifully, evenly and completely. The kids for whom the trailer serves as a supplies storage area, at their oncology camp, love the way it sparkles in the sun!
