      Can I paint over my steel storm door?

      Answer This Question

      Yes, Barbara! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint can be applied to steel. We recommend scuff sanding the surface with 220-grit sandpaper and making sure that it is completely clean and dry before proceeding. The use of a primer provides additional corrosion protection, excellent adhesion, and hide. We recommend priming with Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Clean Metal Primer Spray. 2-3 light coats of primer followed by 2-3 light coats of paint. All coats can be sprayed a few minutes apart. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-12-oz-Flat-White-Clean-Metal-Primer-Spray-7780830/100143442 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15

        I sanded and primed an aluminum bike frame. Next, I applied water based metallic acrylic paint. Can I use the crystal clear acrylic enamel gloss as a protective final coat? If so, how long do I need to wait before applying?

        Answer This Question

        Great question, Becky! For the best results, Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Crystal Clear Enamel Spray Paint should be applied after the water-based metallic acrylic paint has completely dried and cured, ideally at least overnight to prevent problems like crazing or wrinkling. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15

          I’ve used rustoleum spray paint and primer on a metal surface. And I’ve let it dry for more than 24 hours. But I can easily remove the paint with a fingernail. Do I need to apply a clear coat so that it won’t scratch off?

                  Answer This Question

                  Great question! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint can be applied to a variety of surfaces, though we do not recommend applying it to foam. The solvents in the paint can be too harsh and can cause the foam to dissolve, causing it to lose its shape. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

                    This paint is perfect for making your old Easter bunnies look like real chocolate. Next time I'll break an ear off the bunny and then paint it to make it look even more realistic.

                    Our patio furniture is over 30 years old now but you wouldn't know from looking at it. I've found I can depend on Rust oleum spray enamel to keep it looking like new. two twelve-ounce can was enough to cover my four patio chairs with some to spare. Easy to use cans don't clog. Made in USA.

                    A week’s worth of hard work ruined!
                    I spent a week removing paint from an old medicine cabinet, painting it white with Rustoleum spray paint, then added a final gloss coat with another Rustoleum-brand product (Gloss Clear Enamel). This product caused the paint below to bubble up and flake off, wasting an entire week’s worth of work, over $50 of supplies, and my hope for salvaging this project. DO NOT BUY RUSTOLEUM PRODUCTS.

                    Oh no, let's see if we can clear things up. Based on what you described it sounds like you're experiencing wrinkling. This is typically due to applying additional coats or a top coat outside the recoat window. Most of our paints can be top coated either within 1 hour or after 48 hours.

                      Forgiving
                      This spray paint is the most forgiving spray paint that I've ever used. Spray progressively heavier coats, by the 3rd coat its almost impossible to make a mistake. The new spray tip with 5 settings is a tremendous invention. I can't be happier with this product. * This review is assuming that the paint holds up and stays looking nice like Rustoleum paint typically does.
