RUSTINS Small Job Gloss Paint Poppy 250ml

The media could not be loaded. I'm absolutely thrilled with this paint, I wanted to give some love to an old mirror, change it from a dull silver to black and gold. This paint was fantastic, so smooth and silky, and it dried in the most stunning sheen. It covered in one coat and only needed slight touch ups. Plus its water based so easy clean up after. I didn't use any primer, just lightly sanded and cleaned the surface and it looks perfect. 10/10 I can't wait to find more things to paint with this. Great value for money, I barely used the top 0.5 cm of the tin.

Very pleased with this paint. The chocolate colour is rich and exactly as shown—adds a warm, modern finish to wood. It goes on smoothly and covers well with minimal effort. Perfect for small wood projects. Would definitely buy again.

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.

I wanted pale blue Why did you choose this product over others?:It is brilliant. Lovely bright colour. Goes a long way. Thick. Doesn't have any aroma. Quick dry

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!

Why did you choose this product over others?:A good quality paint that covers well. Two coats on my front door only used just over half a 250ml tin!! Like all water based paints it dries quickly so needs to be applied quickly to keep it ‘live’. Has a reasonable gloss to it - would highly recommend.

Very nice. Same color like on the pictures.
