Do not buy. Bought aerosols of gold paint with new design of spray trigger to spray some furniture. Trigger is really heavy to press , paint is really thin, splurts out, drips and does not cover well. Heres the rub. £17 per can.

Doesn't do wat it says on the tin Waste of money and time. Rustoleum all surface paint is certainly not suitable for upcycling a dressing table. Was tacky days after painting it. Finger marks left on it. Tried to sand and buff it down. Made it worse. I want a refund

Terrible company to deal with, I only ordered samples. Never received them. I rang the company, they told me samples were dealt with by 1 person and they were uncontactable by phone. Numerous emails later, still waiting, since October, for my money or the paint. AVOID!

Rustoleum kitchen cupboard paint. 3 coats on already and I think it will take another two to cover white with the evening blue. Its already chipped and white us showing through. This is an antique farmhouse dresser that is the focal point in a shop and I am really worried it is ruined. I haven't the time to strip it off and redo. I won't buy again.

Absolute rubbish. Bought a can of Cast Iron coloured spray paint. Had to press really hard on the nozzle to get the spray to work and then the paint splatters out at an almighty force with no way of taming down the flow. Impossible to get a good finish. Very disappointed.

I bought 2 cans of primer 26 oz cans and after a short time they stop spraying with almost full cans , will not buy no more ! Bad design

Wanted to update the Kitchen in my new house as the cupboards didn't all match. Chose Rustoleum Kitchen Cupboard Paint and couldn't be happier with the result. The colours are great and the paint is just so nice to use! Excellent coverage, no priming needed and quick drying. Bought 3 x 750 ml cans òf each colour and only used one of each!

I bought a tin of Rust-Oleum to paint the spare wheel of my car (silver universal no primer required, for metal, wood and plastic, purchased at Tor Paints) it has the consistency of custard but brushes off while applying. I wire brushed the rust from the wheel and brush painted the silver paint. It took 24hrs to become touch dry, but due to it being water based, rust stains were showing through, I gave it another coat still barely covered the previous and again the next day rust was showing through (there was no heavy rust on the wheel and the wheel was in the garage) I have now given a 3rd coat 4 hrs ago the wheel is in the kitchen and it's still tacky. I stirred the paint well before commencing the painting. This product is rubbish and should be taken off the market
