RUSTINS Small Job Gloss Paint Black 250ml

Very easy to apply and looked great. Brush easy to clean after as it’s water based paint. Wish I had bought this instead of aerosol paint as there is no nasty smell and aroma. A bit pricey for a small tin. Worked well as a second coat and coverage was good. As it’s water based it doesn’t have a thick consistency. But it looks great and very fast drying.

Excellent paint! Spreads well, dries quickly and definitely pillarbox red

Ran out of paint for my kitchen and didn't want a big tin with paint left over. Just about enough paint, not very thick but covers well enough as long as you are not covering dark colour, you would need two coats.

Fast drying, applies easily with flawless finish and lovely rich colour.

Just a nice size for a wee project. Never been a DIY kind of guy so thought I’d give this a go, worked a treat (except the time I got it in my hair). Very possible I’ll order another but maybe next time a different colour.All in happy I bought it.

Don't let the 5 star reviews fool you!This is water based 'gloss' paint and will never reach the gloss of oil based paint.Nor will it flow like proper gloss oil based paint.Here's what you need to know about this paint.I applied this to mdf over 2 coats of dulux professional primer and undercoat.It has to be applied thickly and with very little over brushing. If you over brush it will remove the paint already applied! Welcome to the world of water based gloss paint!Apply the paint liberally trying not to over brush too much. If you experience paint loss, brush vigorously over the area to re coat.The first coat will look absolutely dreadful - I promise you - you'll want to wipe it all off and get some proper gloss paint!. Those saying this looks good after 1 coat are stretching the truth somewhat! It will look terrible with streaks, brush strokes and uneven coverage - that's water based gloss paint for you.After 2 hours, re-coat...You will need to apply a further 4 to 5 coats or maybe more to achieve a smooth appearance. Yes, I'm saying you might need 6 or more coats of this stuff where oil based would only require 1 coat - this is a consequence of 'saving the planet' with water based gloss.After the 4th coat you will start to get there, you may still see uneven coverage, this is normal for the inferior water based gloss paint we are now encouraged to use.But you will eventually get there and the results will be ok but never the high gloss of oil based gloss.So 3 stars for trying!It's never going to be as good as the old days, but there you go!

Good finish and quick to dry

I bought this paint to upcycle my jewellery box. The colour was a little brighter than shown but still a nice colour, it was easier to use than I thought it would be after reading the reviews.The trick is, that you don't put much paint on the brush as it covers really well, if you put too much on then it will run.I used a small brush then went over it with a small roller so that paint marks wouldn't show. I painted it outside so it did dry very quickly so was able to do a second coat.Very impressed with the end result and a great price for the paint, would recommend.
