Rust-Oleum 7738730 Stops Rust Brush On Paint, Half Pint, Gloss Hunter Green, (Pack of 1)

I recently used Rust-Oleum Exterior Paint in gray for a small outdoor project, and I’m quite impressed with the results. Here’s my experience: Pros: • Durability: The paint is designed for outdoor use, and it really stands up to the elements. It’s been holding up well against rain and sun, showing no signs of fading or peeling after several weeks. • Smooth Finish: The paint goes on smoothly, and once it’s dry, it provides a solid, even coverage. It gives a clean, matte finish that looks professional. • Great Coverage: Even though I needed to apply multiple coats (especially on textured surfaces), the coverage was consistent and rich, and the gray color looks modern and sleek. • Fast Drying: The paint dries fairly quickly, which allowed me to finish my project in a reasonable amount of time without much wait in between coats. Cons: • Requires Multiple Coats: Depending on the surface, I found that I needed at least two to three coats to get a solid, even color, especially on lighter or rougher surfaces. • Slightly Thin Consistency: The paint is a bit thinner than some other exterior paints I’ve used, so I had to be careful to avoid drips and ensure a smooth finish. Overall: Rust-Oleum Exterior Paint in Gray is a solid choice for outdoor projects. It offers great durability and a nice finish, but be prepared for the need for multiple coats, especially on textured surfaces. The slight thinness of the consistency doesn’t take away from the final results, but it’s something to keep in mind. For a quality, long-lasting finish, this is a reliable option.

EDIT: It's now MARCH 2021 and outside door still looks great! Decided to do inside. WHAT'S the first thing someone sees coming to your door? YOUR DOOR! Nothing looks better than high gloss to really make your inside and outside POP! And there was plenty left over to freshen up any outside trim or planters. Great way to start SPRING! _____________________________________________________________________ EDIT: OK it's end of OCTOBER 2019 and wanted to FRESHEN up my entry before the HOLIDAYS and NOW is good time to paint my matte front door that just looks a little sad GLOSS WHITE! ONE can (the 8 oz) painted the outside of my door, thin trim around the outside entry and freshened up a planter! JUST FINISHED PAINTING the door and because it's not very warm out, taking awhile to dry, but it's been about TWO hours and is just about dry to the touch. DOOR LOOKS PHENOMENAL!!! AMAZING what a $4 and change can of paint can do! I didn't prime, I didn't even wash the door (It has a glass storm door on the other side, so not really dirty), took me about a half an hour. Cheap and easy way to freshen up a room, outside door and the GLOSS just makes it POP! It's like a mirror finish. _______________ UPDATE: RAINED the day after I painted outside window box and didn't affect the paint at all. Also it has been STORMING in days since, and the paint job looks perfect and new! DEFINITELY FIVE STARS! ______________________________________ I needed to paint a sad, dirty-looking flat white window box that is about 24 X 6 inches. I got the GLOSS WHITE to make it pop more. PROS: The GLOSS is almost a MIRROR GLOSS! Transformed a shabby, off-white, beaten up window box with what looks like a NEW finish. It looks AMAZING! Thick, not runny 8 ounce can covers A LOT Dried fast and still had about three quarters of the can left GREAT price for what you get in quality and quantity Super easy, I'm not very handy at all, didn't "prep" the wooden window box, just rinsed and dried it off to get some of the dirt off and painted Super fast - covers easily. I did white on a box that (had been) white and took me mere minutes to complete CONS: So far, none. It felt dry to the touch in about four hours, we're supposed to get rain tomorrow and this is outside, so we shall see. I didn't rate durability yet, as I need to see how it withstands Midwest weather.

Wow, what a nice bronze color. Great coverage and easy to apply over primer. The semi-gloss had a great look for an outdoor project. Very pleased with the results.

Nice reasonable product especially when mixed with hardener gloss

Paints fine but the shipping is questionable because of the contents inside.

My favorite black oil base enamel that I have swore by forever. This paint works on everything from metal, aluminum, iron, fiberglass, plastic, cement, and composite materials. Brush, roll, or spray you can easily get a show color quality finish. Just remember do not thin greater than 10%, and do your pre prep paint work. Use Ospho under your primer or just paint over the Ospho this will make your paint adhere better and finish last longer. If you must thin use good quality low odor mineral spirits. Use a pyrex measuring cup or a scale to add thinner, do a little math, and keep that under 10% if you are spraying or need to thin this paint. If you want it to have a high gloss it will take longer to cure/dry add flood penetrol this will make it lay on like glass with a brush or roller. For cleaning everything use mineral spirits or Joe's Hand Cleaner. Do not get rustoleum on eyeglasses it doesn't come off it will etch them even if they are glass. If you are using this wonderful paint in really hot temperatures like over 100°F thin with a little turpentine. Cold temperatures don't get tempted to thin with acetone, lacquer thinner, xylene, toluene, or naphtha because these hot thinners will curdle the paint possibly flattening it. Best choice is High or low temp auto paint reducer. Do not use hardener in rustoleum no need. Good luck. 👍

Durable, Glossy Paint That Holds Up Indoors and Out Rust-Oleum’s Stops Rust enamel in gloss white is one of those products I keep coming back to. I’ve used it on everything from a metal fence to outdoor furniture and even some concrete trim, and it never disappoints. The finish comes out bright, shiny, and smooth, making old, weathered surfaces look brand new again. Application is straightforward—this is an oil-based paint, so it brushes on thick and levels out well without much effort. Coverage is excellent (a quart goes further than you’d think), though like most enamels, it’s best to use two thin coats for the most durable finish. It dries to the touch in a couple of hours, but I’ve learned to let it cure overnight before handling or re-coating for best results. Durability is where this shines. It resists fading, chipping, and rust even in direct sun and rain. I’ve had projects painted years ago that still look solid with just the occasional rinse. It also adheres well to wood and masonry, not just metal. A couple of notes: being oil-based, cleanup requires mineral spirits, not just soap and water. Also, it has a stronger odor while drying, so ventilation is important if you’re using it indoors. Bottom line: A proven, heavy-duty enamel that leaves a high-gloss professional finish and truly protects against rust. Perfect for fences, doors, railings, and outdoor projects where you want both looks and longevity.

Worked well.
