Great paint, great coverage, paint+primer
I love this paint. This is my second purchase but in a different color. This project is painting the front door hardware including the door knocker and door handle and latch. I am asked off the area and sprayed my first coat. I waited 30 minutes to spray the second coat. After one hour I then took off all of the masking materials. It made my very old door hardware look brand new again.

    Terrible spray nozzle
    Rust oleum paint has always been great quality but this spray nozzle is terrible. Spits spots of paint that you can help by wiping the nozzle regularly with a rag. Spray is inconsistent from can to can. Painted large gates and had to use 9 cans to get a semi good finish. Spray comes out with irregular volume causing stripes. Will never use this product again.

    We appreciate your reaching out and sharing your experinece, Jay! To ensure the most even spray, it is essential that Rust-Oleum Universal Metallic Spray Paint and Primer is thoroughly shaken before each use and often during application. The trigger also needs to be fully depressed when spraying.

      Color is off
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Oil Rubbed Bronze Rustoleum Spray paint looks more like a metallic black than bronze to me. Much darker that the top of the can implies. The coverage is ok. I like the spray trigger, it gets less pain on my hands than the old type on top of the can.

        Excellent paint--transforming!
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried out the Oil Rubbed Bronze Rust-Oleum spray paint on an old steel table--painted orange of all colors--yuck!!! This table is still in good shape and just needed some kind of do-over. The spray comes out fine and even and is very easy to control where you need the spray to go. It took around 10 minutes to put one coat on this small table and I notice the paint is very even no dripping at all. It took around 45 minutes to be dry enough that I could flip it over to do the underside. A final coat will follow soon, but I love the color of the oil bronze--it's dark, but not black, and even has a beautiful little sparkle to it that you might see in the close-up photo. An old ugly orange table that is now transformed into something lovely. The paint feels smooth and strong--I believe this will add years to a simple little patio table!

          Nozzles are defective
          I purchased the Titanium Silver on Sunday. I attempted to spray paint some metal pieces. The can began to leak paint at the black trigger each time it was squeezed. The paint would get all over the hand and drip down the can. I returned the spray can the next day and bought two more cans so I could finish my project. I get home and attempt to paint again. The same problem happened again. Avsolute junk.

            Leaks from the trigger BAD.
            The copper-rose color is beautiful but the can leaked horribly. I’ve never seen anything like it. Ended up getting paint drips all over our project because the trigger was leaking so bad.

              Champagne Pink
              Champagne Pink is definitely more of a cool pearl pink. The coverage is quite sheer, and required multiple coats. The standing mirror I did took almost the whole can. I'm including a pic so you can see the color tones compared to a more warm pink. If you're looking for a warm toned pink this is not it.

                Definitely not "ORB"
                Not even close to oil rubbed bronze. There's not a single bit of bronze in it...or oil. More of a metallic glitter gunmetal. So glad I tried it with an old doorknob before doing the intended project!!

                  Leaks from the trigger opening
                  Used 4 cans of this Rust-oleum Universal style head/trigger. It has a more comfortable feel than the standard can/nozzle arrangement, but 3 of the 4 cans leaked substantial amounts of paint out of the trigger opening. Big mess. Drips on the floor and all over my hands. The design needs more work for better seals.

                    Second project with this paint. Love it!
                    I painted a 5 foot outdoor floor lamp with this paint and it turned out great. I had already use this paint on the lights outside of my garage and they are holding up really well and look brand new. The finish on my outdoor floor lamp was starting to fade so I bought a can of this paint and decided to clean the lamp and paint it. I’m masked off the glass areas and the on off button. I used 2 coats. It looks really nice. I have two outdoor lights on either side of my sliding glass door. They are next on the project so everything will match. I did not have any issues with the spray nozzle.

                        Don't waste your time
                        This product is great if you want little black specks all over your silver paint. After spending hours prepping parts to paint and applying a Rust-Oleum primer, I was severely disappointed to discover that the metallic part of this paint looks fantastic but the can also likes to randomly splatter black paint bits all over your piece. this didn't seem to change regardless of how close or far I got away from the peace while I was painting It would still flick little black bits at my part.

                        That's odd! To ensure a consistent color and finish, Rust-Oleum Universal Spray Paint and Primer in One needs to be shaken often during your application, as well as before. If needing further assistance, please give us a call at (800) 481-4785.

                          I love the even coverage and did not have to spray heavily. Having the primer in the paint eliminated one step. Highly Recommended.

                          Not the gold tone you want
                          Ended up trusting these reviews and well was hoping for a bolder more vivid metalic gold but it came out dull and light gold. Almost like light yellow/brown paint. After painting my whole kitchen table later realized my small projects I was using Ace spray paint with were coming out better. Wish I’d known earlier. I added a photo of the comparison. I dont recommend this if youre trying to get closer to a true gold platinum color.

                          Thanks for sharing your experience. Rust-Oleum Universal Advanced Formula Metallic Spray Paint typically has an excellent, vivid metallic finish. For best results, after shaking the can vigorously for at least one minute once the mixing ball begins to rattle, hold the can 8-12" from the surface and apply in a steady back and forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Holding the can too far away can result in a duller finish.

                            Terrible product all around
                            Very poor hide and coverage for a fairly expensive paint. The finger guard on the trigger (which they advertise as preventing drips) actually causes drips on about half the cans I tried, as the fan pattern is too wide, causing paint to pool up on the lip of the finger guard, to either drip off or get blown off by the spray. I love Rustoleum's 2x Ultra Cover, but this Universal stuff is poorly designed garbage.

                              The paint appears to be tough & durable however, the trigger took considerable more effort to depress compared to conventional spray cans. Moreover, the paint didn't atomize like I'd expected and the spray came out weak. In all fairness, I believe the paint is thicker and it covered well.

                              Oh no, this is not what we like to hear. Rust-Oleum Universal Advanced Formula Spray Paint provides superior coverage and finish. In order to deliver that superior product our paint is loaded with high quality pigment. Shaking vigorously once the mixing ball begins to rattle prior to painting and throughout the painting process keeps everything in the can mixed perfectly, this allows for proper spray.

                              Poor Coverage
                              I used the vintage gold color. Something is wrong with this version of Rust-Oleum spray paint. I’ve been using this brand for my entire furniture project. I’ve been layering colors and this gold barely covered the others. Also, the chemicals didn’t seem to mix properly. I shook it for over a minute, but ended up with glitter throughout my entire garage, a cloud of propellant (even with ventilation) and adhesive clogging up my nose hairs. There’s also a fine layer of brown color over everything including myself. This was a waste of money and no idea if the project will come out how I wanted. I had to hold the can about 2-3 inches from the surface for full coverage. Don’t buy this.
