Rust-Oleum 7786502 Protective Enamel Paint Stops Rust, 32-Ounce, Gloss Smoke Gray, 1 Quarts (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.

my husband loved this! we needed a small can to finish a factory mimic paint job on our ‘70 superbee charger and this paint worked perfect for the brake drum restoration he did! i love this paint because it holds up well, especially to heat. it was easy to apply and the shipped it well so it wasn’t leaking or anything like that upon arrival.

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 runny8 ounce can covers A LOTDried fast and still had about three quarters of the can leftGREAT price for what you get in quality and quantitySuper 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 paintedSuper fast - covers easily. I did white on a box that (had been) white and took me mere minutes to completeCONS: 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.

Can't go wrong with good paint !!!

Beautiful paint for my front door. Hopefully it will last a few years without needing a touch up. Front door gets a lot of sun and heat. Applied 3 coats to my new door.

If you need a quality, white, glossy paint, look no further!

Paint looks great. I love rustoleum.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐This brown Rust-Oleum paint is *aggressively* brown. Like, it’s not just brown—it’s the kind of brown that makes you question your life choices. I bought it to paint my tin roof, that was sad and rusty. and Now my house looks like it’s wearing a giant brown mushroom. It’s not ugly, per se, but it’s definitely judging the neighborhood.The coverage, though? Fantastic. One coat and my roof went from “rusty eyesore” to “I might be made of chocolate.” It’s so smooth and even that I almost forgot I was painting, not frosting a giant cake. The only downside is that now everything around my house looks like it needs a coat of this paint. My shed? Brown. My mailbox? Brown. The dog house? Brown.In conclusion, if you’re looking for a paint that’s reliable, durable, and the color of a wet tree trunk, this is it. Just be prepared for your property to slowly turn into a sepia-toned movie set. 🟤🤎🟤🤎
