Great review of the metallic product line. Lots of talk about the glossiness. If you want gloss over a matte, just shoot clear over it. if I have a choice in matte or gloss for a certain color (Krylon) I always pick the matte version and will spray gloss over it if needed. Couple of other notes: 1. It appears you need to shake the cans more, several times you barely shook the can and then talk about coverage! Maybe coverage would be better if the paint was mixed better? 2. Warm up the can before spraying by soaking them in a small bucket of warm water for 10-15 minutes before spraying (be sure to use a towel off the can before spraying to avoid water dripping). This works especially well for the gloss colors, they will lay out much flatter (glossier).

Very nice, real-world comparison. Thank you for taking the time to do this and share it. Those are some great colors to consider when I refurb my next Baldor. My take is if you’re going to take the time to strip and repaint something, you might as well make it interesting to look at. I will be choosing one of the nice colors you’ve demo’d here.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this video. I love that you also show the bottles closeup.

Thank you so much for the information. Made it a lot easier for me to pick colors

Thank you for producing this comparison video. This is my favorite line of name brand spray paints. I have been using them for 10+ years. Carbon Mist is my favorite but they are all superb. I have been having a difficult time finding any recently at my local stores.

Man, thanks for taking the time to do this, really think those metal colors look really good

Key point; there is a reason model paint comes in smaller cans. I can’t imagine trying to paint models with huge cans like that, but I did repaint the hand rail on my stairway with their hammered metal finish (pewter) and it came out pretty nice. I had to leave it outside for 2 days to out-gas though.

Awesome video as always, thank you Rex

You did a great job illustrating these finishes. Thank you so much.

Thx and I'm sold- definitely going to get some of these..

Great details on this video thank you!!

That was an awesome review. Really helped thank you.

I'm loving the aged rust!

wow thanks for getting all those cans to show us!

Great vid. Thanks for the upload. You really helped me to choose the correct color for my project.

thanks for this. might use these later and it's nice to know what to grab off the shelf that has good results!

Love Champagne mist!

Loved this Tysm I bought the rose gold but didn't like it too much but I will def be picking the aged copper now.

Great review 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Awesome video comparative review of these Rust-Oleum metallic spray paints! I bought 4 cans of the satin black color of this brand. I plan to use it to extra anti-rust and color paint a DIY galvanized iron steel clothing rack that I want to build. But until I found your review, no other YT videos do such an indepth and superb comparative color review of Rust-Oleum metalic spray paints. Bravo sir! Thank you so much for making this review.

Great stuff. Thanks!

Krylon chrome... I love it.. bought it from hobby lobby. Goes on so smooth, quick, great coverage and dries super quick. I used rustoleum sprays to paint my daughters vanity. It was OK. Not as great of a coverage but it was fast and it'll do. I ended up painting the other dresser the regular way.

Great review man no nonsense to the point good methodology

Many thanks for posting 😊

This is a very helpful and visual video to choose a metallic spray paint! I know which color I will be picking for future projects! 😊

You’re funny but good!! Thank you I like the sunlit gold. Excellent video and paint!

Thanks for the test! The carbon mist is perfect for my 3D printed Blaster project! :D

Six years ago (funny that I just seen my FB memory now,I painted my cabinets 6 years exactly today 😆) I painted some kitchen cabinet doors with their silver hammered finish. They still look the same as they did from day one. Slab and frame doors particle board doors from the 80's,just cleaned them and some light sanding and two coats of paint. Their stuff is great for almost anything. Even did some doors with the roll on chalkboard paint. People used to ask me who did it, I'm like sprayed them outside and let them dry in my garage for a few days. Personally like the hammered metal finish they have, cause it can minor defects.

I used flat soft iron to paint the interior trim of my car. Great color. Best of all the grays.

Thank You ,great demonstration .Im revamping an old retro looking fan that My neighbor threw out

Thanks. I am looking for a good spray paint to refinish a lamp. I looked on line and saw these available at Lowes and I read the reviews after watching your video I.m defiantly going to buy this paint.

Super helpful thank you!

I used the Satin Nickel for some plastic parts in our old car. The interior was originally 100% black but adding painted accents made it look a lot better. I used a matte UV clear coat over top to help prevent scratches. I do think this is a great paint line but have seen many people complain of nozzle drips which I've encountered too, so if possible you need to keep whatever you're painting vertical or angled enough to not allow the can over the surface or you might drip paint on it. Lastly, I've always thought Rustoleum makes great "general purpose" paints. I want to try their newer automotive enamel too.

Seriously thank you for doing this

Thanks for this, it was very helpful.

excellent, thanks!

Thank you from 🇬🇧🙏

Very helpful video. Thanks!

I bought the rose and another color, can't remember which one and also got some clear coat as well from Walmart for the same price. Tyvm for sharing the info with us.

Thank you for this video!!

Awesome Video Sir, I'll be Picking up aLOT of Those Colors. God Bless All.

You're giving me good ideas for electric guitar finishes.

Thanks for posting

Brilliant video! Cheers.

I've used the 4th and 1st on right side love it

Thank you! Thinking of updating the faucets in a rental. Great ideas and helpful information.

'Rustoleum colours?'. Had I thought about that question 2 months ago there wouldn't be a video. But today, I'm very lucky. 😆

Thank you for doing this for us! You helped so much in seeing what you get when you buy these. I think you sold a few also!

sweet, always wanted to see this in action!

Thanks for another great video........A couple of things. I've used this before and it's pretty good but, if painting small stuff like a spoon or small Bandai, Gumpla, or other small stuff there is a lot of over spray probably over 50%. So it's like wasting half. Second, I also airbrush canned Rust-Oleum enamel thinned with acetone. it works great....................................

Thank you for this video.. I was searching for a metallic paint for a 3d printed plastic to match brushed nickel Faucet. The satin nickel or dull steel looks close.

Carbon mist looks great. I'm considering using it for a candy red Nightingale paint job.

So helpful ty

I used the white. On my stove hood in my kitchen. Came out nice

I'm using the Titanium Silver on my Wheels next week. I like the colors of this line.

I will be using the spoon test in the future!

Brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to do this and share. I bought an expensive mirror from West Elm but unfortunately the frame color looked so cheap in real life and I'm trying to find that saturated antique brass spray color. I was quite disappointed given that they call their mirror "Antique Brass". This was not antique and far from brass. Just a cheap metal frame that was sprayed in China and selling for $499 plus tax. What is happening to the world?

I like the carbon mist for a sand rail

I like that you compare them to the Tamiya paint because most of us are here because we're painting models or cars and we all know the price of paint in China but in our case Japan lol

i use dark steel often and looks like the cap if you use a black undercoat, one of my favorites

I use these and have few months now and you should try the hammered grey and all colors are beautiful the pearlescent White is stunning they're beautiful colors I use them on a lot of metal that are covered in a ugly Chrome serving trays and they turn out beautifully with all these colors.

If you let the cans sit and settle a couple of days you can poke a hole in the top of the cans and let out the pressure. cut the top off and pour the paint into a jar for airbrush use. Good for any spray can!

Really enjoyed the video would like to see were you blend different colors where you have a base and then fog another color over the top of it

Thank you for this video, almost everything in my house is sprayed carbon mist now lol

Thank you so much! You just saved me so much time and I believe that thanks to you I found the two gold tones I wanted.

Cool. A couple of those look good.

I meant Sunlit brass.

If you're willing to sandblast whatever you coat first. Particularly raw steel .. Its excellent paint

Uummmm got me thinking to get some of these and decant them for airbrushing 😉

I have nothing but excellent things to say about this paint , I used antique copper it produced an excellent finish

i dont build gundams but this is a great video for hobbies, i can immagine a guitar painted with these

That carbon mist is beautiful. I have a skull (a Halloween prop) that I bought to use as a headphone stand and have been looking for a paint I could use to make it look like a black sparkle chrome look and I think this carbon mist is the one. I should probably sand the crap out of it first and do 2 coats? I want it to look like that spoon :)

I wonder if those trigger spray caps will fit any other cans. They seem a bit easier to control and convenient to use.

I know this video is 3 yrs old, but right now I’m my local DIY store in Ireland, these 400ml can of spray paint cost €26.99! That’s 27 US dollars. 🤪 compared to $7! that’s just crazy! Cans of spray paint have always had a high price point here in rip off Ireland. 🙄

So I painted a (I think resin) skull that I bought from a home goods. It’s a Halloween decoration but it made a perfect headphone holder. I used the Carbon Mist. It looks incredible but after a few days it’s still tacky. Will it be sticky forever? Is there something I can put on it to rid it of that stickiness? I sanded it and put two coats on it.

Great Videos Rex. Really enjoying the efforts you go to in order to increase our knowledge of all things paints etc. Unfortunately we cannot get this range of Rust-Oleum paints here in Australia. Since Rust-Oleum took over Testors and some other brands they seem to have lost the plot in providing stock to any of their retail stockists. Gotta agree with you that the Carbon Mist looks really great, and as a car builder, exactly what I've been looking for. Keep the vids coming

Nice review. I'm always looking for metallic primers for my models. My question is how well do these take either acrylic or enamel paint? I'd love to use some of these if it means I dont have to drop 30$ or more for a can of Games workshop retributor armor primer

Perfect timing! Getting ready to spray a brass chandelier. Would this be suitable for lighting? Wasn’t sure if I had to prime first?

Hi I have a white painted kitchen and looking to do something different. Wonder if I can use the Aged Copper as my base coat and put on top a white chalk paint for a distressed look? I recall that I cannot put anything else on top of this paint, is this true?

Are they scratch resistant enough for hardware kitchen repaint ? Thanks a lot.

Now you should be able to rip off the caps (there on there good!) & drill out a rusto spray cap slightly (forgot the bit size) so you can spray it heavier, or a use a cap adapter setup. Because you can. You missed or failed to find rusto pearl.

Think I'll be painting a set of atv rims carbon mist looks good

What paint can you recommend that matches cerakote burnt bronze?

Love the video! I think there may be one that is not included in this video tho! Maybe it came out after. It’s The pearl mist! It’s metallic white. It’s beautiful! I used it on these foam flowers and it made them so glossy , they almost looked like plastic or something. It’s not really shimmery or sparkly, just really shiny and glossy. Just in case you are in the market for something like that!

Nice! I was gonna paint some bike rims I think the carbon is gonna be it, does it need clear coated or would it be just fine by it self

love the aged copper I wish you had tried it on a black spoon :)

Thanks for the review on these. Been looking for a gold color close as possible to a factory 1971 Camaro Z/28 Placer Gold. That pure gold color looks very close! Will check it out. Thanks

Carbon is the winner here, but i've been in a never ending search of a perfect carburetor color and champagne mist looks ok-ish, from the video but i would have to spray it to see it up close- great testing tho, keep'em coming.

Aged Rust got me interested for using on the frame for MG Sinanju Stein NT.

Can you use to paint fireplace brass??

And I asked that about the gold my friend because the color pixels on cell phones don't really show if the goals have more yellow or not they all look the same but since you are there you can tell between the gold spray-paint if one has more yellow in it or if one looks more brass..

Would've been nicer had you used either black plastic or metal instead of white plastic but thanks for giving us an idea of what we'll get.

Can you decant these and use them in an airbrush?

Thinking about using this on a bike frame.... any reason why that wouldn't be a good idea? I'm pretty sure the "metallic" range doesn't require a clear coat, anyone have any input on this? Thanks in advance.

Will it work on a stainless steel sink?

Please Help,,I have a discoloration spot on my refrigerator, could you recommend a paint color that would match my stainless steel refrigerator. Thank you ☺️

I'm thinking about spray painting with Aged Rust flavor on an old restored English 3 speed bike. Do you think I should have a top coat to protect it. if so, any topcoat you would recommend ? Also, do you think this will fade over sunlight ?

It seems that the Aged Rust has been discontinued or maybe it’s just harder to find.

Hi , can we use this on kettle and toaster?
