Rust-Oleum 253499 Automotive Premixed Auto Body Paint, Quart, Gray Primer 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

Great primer ,I want to buy 2 more cans my 1st order was $31.00 ,now it's $ 83.00 .

The paint worked well enough as an adhesive for metal flake, but the problem I found almost immediately is that there is a possibility that this paint contains Toulene or some other component that will melt through plastic very quickly. Having never used this sort of paint before, I promptly ended up with black paint all over my legs and my sidewalk. I used some gasoline to get the paint off my legs and the sidewalk. The paint also mixes very cold in a metal can, almost frost temperature. And the paint gives off a smell that may give you a headache after a while so I'd use it outside definitely.

I used this on tile paint on the floor. It is holding up very well. It drys fast and seems to be very durable. I believe it is acetone based and thus VERY caustic to previous paints. If this is going over oil base paint it has to be several days dry as does epoxy based paint. I would definitely test on a test block. I'm not sure I would even attempt using this on latex paint. But it does dry fast and glossy. Have plenty of ventilation.

Good primer

It has an odd odor for an automotive paint, but seems to cover well. At first the clear (did not use the Rustoleum brand) lifted the paint, but I actually mixed a little of some other base coat (Lesonal) with it and it seems to work well with the U-tech brand clear. The Lesonal paint was about double the price of the Rustoleum brand, so if you're looking for a budget paint, this should fit the bill. Dont know how it will hold up over time, we'll see.

Horrible product. Way to thin. Acts like a wash not paint. Please do not use!!! I know this is meant to spray on, but it's to thin for that too!!

I bought a quart of this product as I was looking for something inexpensive . I got 2 wheel house tubs one side only, a fire wall painted, and a radiator support done on on both sides of a 68 Firebird. I did have to put down a black sealer which helped with coverage. Over all it looks really good. It's not glossy but also not dull and dead. JMust what I wanted.

First let me say I am not a professional when it comes to spray painting. I have a few HLVP Spray Guns and have sprayed lots of paint over the years with great results in my home workshop. I really like Rust-oleum Professional Paints. They are cost effective, spray beautifully when thinned down with Acetone and give a rock hard finish when a little Catalyst / Hardener is mixed in. I was restoring a utility vehicle to use on my property and needed some UV Protection for the Professional Paint. I called Rust-oleum and they recommended this clear coat.. I had only shot clear coat a couple times before with good success.Okay, here we go... This Clear Coat is extremely hard to shoot. It is as thin as water or less. Once you get the HLVP Gun spraying correctly and start shooting you do not have much margin for error. You have to lay on a thick coat in order to get a High Gloss Finish, but this stuff is so thin the chance of getting drips is almost guaranteed. If you lay it on to thin it will dry to a somewhat flat matte finish. So you have to spray it on at exactly the correct speed of movement with the correct flow... To Fast = Matte Finish, To Slow = Drips... And above all... Do not let the spray gun get to low or run out of paint, any change however little in the flow when the gun starts to run out of paint will cause a light coat and a flat matte finish. Getting into crevices and hard to reach spots almost guarantees drips. Although the can states how to lay down the coats, it gave me a matte finish by following the instructions.. When laying thick coats it gave the high gloss finish. Now the can does say " Can be buffed to a High Gloss Finish" SO maybe they expect you to spray it and get a matte Finish and then Buff it out.. But it does not say that in the instructions..And I am going to try and fix this Clear Coat with 3M PERFECT IT 3 Stage Rubbing / Polish Compound. As for the drying times, I don't understand why Rust-oleum never includes the Fully Cured Time. The label on the can says Dries to the touch in 10 Minutes and is fully Dry in one Hour... I called Rustoleum to ask how long I should wait before polishing? They said it takes 7 Days to fully Cure, then you can buff and polish. I am giving this 3 stars.. The clear coat when sprayed heavy to achieve the glossy finish looks beautiful, but the difficulty in getting that finish without a drip was impossible for me... This difficulty in using the product is why I gave it 3 stars.. Someone who is a professional painter may not have this problem. After I get it polished I will update here.
