    Paint OK, spray trigger NOT
    Went thru 3 cans and two leaked paint from the trigger nozzle and the third needed two fingers to pull the trigger which made it awkward to spray accurately. Definitely would not buy again especially after paying a premium price for the trigger nozzles.

    Rust-Oleum Universal is a line of products that is designed to make it easier for you to spray at any angle. However, if this product is troublesome there are several other options. Next time, try Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Satin Spray Paint, which has the traditional sprayer. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-12-oz-Protective-Enamel-Satin-White-Spray-Paint-7791830/202056393 Rustoleum
      Didn't cover as a primer should
      Assumed buying a Rust-oleum paint with primer included would allow me to achieve a good finish but this product did not. I roughed up the surface of the chest of drawers with sandpaper but did not completely re-sand off the finish that was present. Am not sure but it could have been a polyurethane finish prior. The product went on easily but immediately pooled in some areas rather than laying out a clean finish. I had to let it dry and go back and completely sand the chest to bare wood to get the product to cover cleanly. It may include a "primer" but it does not allow an even coat over all finishes.

      Something is amiss here, JJ. We recommend applying multiple light coats, applying it this way will result in the first layer acting as a primer. It is not advised to apply the product thick enough to pool. We want to know more about your application and get to the bottom of this. Please call us at 800-481-4785 to discuss further. Rustoleum

      Decent paint
      Decent coverage, but don't try to use this indoors. It has a very strong smell that doesn't dissipate for hours. I even tried to use it in the garage, but the smell penetrated into the house anyway.

      We are happy to hear the paint worked well for you. Please keep in mind we do not recommend using any spray paint indoors. It is difficult to achieve proper ventilation and for this reason, the directions state to use this product outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Rustoleum

        Worked perfectly and nice coverage
        Used this spray paint to repaint a brass finished bed frame in white. Wanted a new look as the brass finish was wearing off. New bed frame was hundreds of dollars and repainting was a few dollars. Great option to save money and product applied a nice, smooth finish. Very happy with the result.

        Spattered Spray
        I was not happy with the way this sprayed. longer ...

        Response from Rust-OleumSupportJan 13, 2016
        That is not what we like to hear. If the paint was sputtering out of the nozzle, it leads us to believe that the nozzle was clogged. Inside the can is a dip tube that pulls the paint from the bottom of the can to the tip. If the pigment in the paint is too big or if there’s not enough pressure behind it, it can get stuck in the tube or tip and the paint won’t spray or will sputter. Try spraying the can holding it at different angles such as upside down. Also, be sure to wipe the tip of the nozzle after spraying, even if stopping for a few minutes to prevent the paint from drying on the spray tip. If these two tips don’t fix the problem, call us at 877-385-8155 to discuss further. Rustoleum

          Quick fix of tub bottom stained by rubber mat
          Got this to hide the stains left from rubber mat in the tub. Quick couple of sprays and you can hardly see the stains anymore and it stays put.

          Best spray paint ever
          I used this product to repaint my 20-year-old plantation shutters. I used 30+ cans, and not one clogged or became drippy. My shutters look beautiful!

          Spurts out globs of paint
          Not really thrilled with this paint. I returned my extra cans and exchanged for the other designed cans (push button not pull trigger) that I can use the Rustoleum spray trigger accessory with. This paint sent out globs on my project!

          Uh oh, sounds to us that the product needed more shaking. It is important to shake the can for an entire 60 seconds once the ball begins to rattle inside the can. Doing so will break up any globs and redisperse the pigments to give an even spray. Rustoleum
            Great paint
            Just be sure to wipe nozzle frequently during use with a wet rag soaked in mineral spirits...the tip will spit paint I guarantee you that...my project (metal covers/frames for A/C underneath fur down in baths in condo) required sanding I wiped down my metal surfaces with mineral spirits before spraying...I'll assume same for wood

            Best spray paint I've ever used!
            The spray on this product was better than any spray I've used in the past. It provided an even spray with no drips. I did t have to use a primer since this was a primer and paint in one so the whole process was very easy. I don't have pictures but I painted a headboard and dresser for a guest room and they look beautiful.

            Leaks at trigger
            Bought six cans, have used four and two have leaked at the trigger. Doesn't seem to cover well, pure white over Navajo white. Takes at least two coats. Not an especially good buy.

            That is not what we like to hear, Ernie. Sounds like the nozzle was clogged, leading it to leak at the trigger. If you run into this problem again, try twisting and pulling to remove the sprayer then rinse it in mineral water. Call us at 877-385-8155 for more information. Rustoleum

            Great results from this in-expensive paint
            This product sprays the paint in a very evenly fashion, and the paint dries really fast, easy to clean too.

            Looks great
            Love this paint. Great coverage. We did get one bad can that sprayed all over my hand. But all others I have bought have worked great. I think it is a little costly, but looks beautiful on what I have used it on. I have painted furniture, outdoor lights, and more.

            Clog-prone
            This paint looks ok, but I've yet to get through even half a can before the tip clogs and it has to be thrown away. (Yes, I gave it two chances as I had purchased two cans for the job.)

            Thank you for your review. Occasionally, pieces of pigment can settle down at the bottom of the spray can. Inside the can is a dip tube that pulls the paint from the bottom of the can to the tip. If the pigment in the paint is too big or if there’s not enough pressure behind it, it can get stuck in the tube or tip and the paint wont spray. If the clog is in the tip, soaking it in mineral spirits should clear it out; if the clog is the tube, there is unfortunately no way to clear it. Keeping the nozzle clean, either by wiping off with a rag after each use or by soaking the nozzle in mineral spirits should help keep it from clogging with dried paint.

              12 oz. All Surface Satin White Spray Paint and Primer in One
              This is a differnt spayer than I was used to. It says it spays in any position. Turn upside down to clear the nozzle and it sprays like crazy. I was paiting overhead and it didnt work wel with the algle I had to tip the can. It spayed well when holding the can level.

              We are sorry to hear of the problems you had with Universal Satin White Spray Paint. This spray can is specifically designed to spray at any angle including upside down. To help keep your spray nozzle in tip-top shape, we recommend to using mineral spirits to wipe the nozzle down or soak the nozzle when you are done using it.

              Wasn't Horrible
              Wasn't as effective as a dedicated metal primer spray paint but after multiple coats it did do its job.

                Great product but be careful taking off red security tab on the trigger, if you pull too hard it will break and won't spray.

                  I like to refinish furniture, and this is the best spray paint ever. You are able to spray from any angle, and it has superior coverage. I was also able to purchase it in a true white, which is what i wanted.

                  Shutters from Red to White
                  Used the spray paint to change vinyl shutters from red to bright white. Product worked well and I had no problem getting all the paint out wihout a clog or release of propellant. Did require 4 coats but kept each coat thin and experienced no running.
