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).
In response to your comment about how he barely shook the can prior to demonstration, I guess you missed it at the beginning when he mentioned how he did in fact give each can a good shake prior to filming the demonstration followed by how that actually was a pain however it's necessary. The small shake before each demo was him simply giving each can a quick shake beforehand.
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.
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.
Really enjoyed your video. Your description of all the colors was great and exact. Thank you for doing this . getting to diy some things around my home so this was very helpful.
As someone who just bought all the lights for my new house build I can tell you every “antique brass” is a different shade. Every “oil rubbed bronze” is a different shade. I think I may do a project… I could create the antique brass effect by spraying on gold first, then spray on the aged brass on top. Then use a paint thinner to removed most of the aged brass but leave it in the crevasses. Might be really cool! But need a piece of crap to test that on! I saw a guy online do that trick for oil rubbed bronze with copper layer first, then the black on top. Used paint thinner to remove just a hint of black to show the copper underneath
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!
You could also dispense with the cutting the top off and just put a hole near the bottom edge and it will pour out nicely just make sure you have a big enough bottle to hold it all.
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.
Came here for aged copper, saw on amazon and they are quite different from the picture they have on amazon, they are more dark bronze but in this video they more like what it says, aged copper thanks for the video!
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?
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.
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.
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 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
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....................................
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.
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.
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. 🙄
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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!
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 ☺️
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..
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.
@@barbatosrex9473 super awesome color. like you said def would be awesome for some frames and what not for sure. quick question but can i for instance spray mr hobby black, into alclad gloss, and then for shits try a tamiya clear color? i use gaia etc, but im just curious
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
These cans are primarily made for painting metal. When I tested them on straight plastic with no primer it looked awful and started to eat into the plastic. The primer helped big time with that
I hope they have a better spray nozzle than the regular Rust-Oleum cans, three cans, three colors, half way through the can and the nozzle clogs and won't unclog no matter how long I soak in turpatine. And of course, no feedback available on the website.
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.

These are a great line of paints. Rust-Oleum's best

Oh yeah, decanting spray cans is actually a great value too. I'll be doing a decant video soon

You’re funny but good!! Thank you I like the sunlit gold. Excellent video and paint!
Man, thanks for taking the time to do this, really think those metal colors look really good
Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this video. I love that you also show the bottles closeup.
Love Champagne mist!
Thank you so much for the information. Made it a lot easier for me to pick colors
I used flat soft iron to paint the interior trim of my car. Great color. Best of all the grays.

Thanks friend 👍
If you're willing to sandblast whatever you coat first. Particularly raw steel .. Its excellent paint
wow thanks for getting all those cans to show us!
Agreed.
i use dark steel often and looks like the cap if you use a black undercoat, one of my favorites
You did a great job illustrating these finishes. Thank you so much.
You're welcome my friend
Carbon mist looks great. I'm considering using it for a candy red Nightingale paint job.
Thank You ,great demonstration .Im revamping an old retro looking fan that My neighbor threw out
I'm using the Titanium Silver on my Wheels next week. I like the colors of this line.
'Rustoleum colours?'. Had I thought about that question 2 months ago there wouldn't be a video. But today, I'm very lucky. 😆
thanks for this. might use these later and it's nice to know what to grab off the shelf that has good results!
I like the carbon mist for a sand rail
I'm loving the aged rust!
Great review, many thanks!
Think I'll be painting a set of atv rims carbon mist looks good
@@_Yowiethecat_ worked great just do some prep work cleaning and removing loose paint rust I used a wire wheel bush on a drill to prep
Thank you! Thinking of updating the faucets in a rental. Great ideas and helpful information.
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.
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! 😊
Thank you 👍
Thx and I'm sold- definitely going to get some of these..
Great vid. Thanks for the upload. You really helped me to choose the correct color for my project.
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.
The first tamaya gold or whatever was actually better 😅 u want a good gold spray and this helped
That was an awesome review. Really helped thank you.
Uummmm got me thinking to get some of these and decant them for airbrushing 😉
That would definitely work 👍
Thank you from 🇬🇧🙏
I used the white. On my stove hood in my kitchen. Came out nice
Trying to look for "dark bronze" for wheels. I think that Aged Rust is very close to what I'm looking for.
Brilliant video! Cheers.
Thanks Kermit
Awesome Video Sir, I'll be Picking up aLOT of Those Colors. God Bless All.
Thanks for this, it was very helpful.
Anytime, thanks for watching
Thanks for the test! The carbon mist is perfect for my 3D printed Blaster project! :D
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.
I've used the 4th and 1st on right side love it
Awesome video as always, thank you Rex
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!
You're welcome buddy and thanks for watching
Great details on this video thank you!!

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
Try the rustoleum galaxy bluee colour shift
what happens when they don't work.. how do you clean them?. so they spray
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.

Yeah that color came not too long after this. I love pearl whites. I do mostly airbrush colors but these had some nice hues
Maybe try decanting / thinning for better / poorer finish thru the airbrush. Love to see results.
Yes, I will be decanting for testing these paints in the near future
@@barbatosrex9473 very good idea I will be looking foward to that video.
Verry interested in the decanting vid 👍🏻
I will be using the spoon test in the future!
I meant Sunlit brass.

Great review 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I like it but expensive
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..
It's more on the yellow side. Also check my video ON Krylon Foil Gold, that one is real nice too
Would of liked to see this paint on a black spoon😮
Omg can you get ON with it!? Ugh just forget it
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.
The old Holley finish is zinc chromate, I believe testors has a yellow chromate that's pretty close.
Thank you for this video, almost everything in my house is sprayed carbon mist now lol
sweet, always wanted to see this in action!
They're pretty nice paints. How great is that carbon color
@@barbatosrex9473 super awesome color. like you said def would be awesome for some frames and what not for sure. quick question but can i for instance spray mr hobby black, into alclad gloss, and then for shits try a tamiya clear color? i use gaia etc, but im just curious
@@domislegit1 you won't have trouble with those paints as long as each one had time to fully cure
Great info! Can these be used in an airbrush? I’ve heard about decanting spray cans how is it done?
Here's how I decant spray cans

Hi Allan IF ya get this almost 1 year later. Home Hardware [NSW] had SOME of this range a couple of years ago. BRILLIANT QUALITY !
Many thanks for posting 😊
love the aged copper I wish you had tried it on a black spoon :)
i dont build gundams but this is a great video for hobbies, i can immagine a guitar painted with these
Why are you spraying over a primer when these have the primer mixed in?
These cans are primarily made for painting metal. When I tested them on straight plastic with no primer it looked awful and started to eat into the plastic. The primer helped big time with that
Next time, try to use models clear coat spray can on it, will it destroy the paint or not.
It actually doesn't harm it at all. And to be safe you can use an acrylic clear like Vallejo, I have great results with that
I’ve used this paint with great results.. problem is now I can’t find the Flat Soft Iron anywhere and need to finish up a product!!
Great stuff. Thanks!
I hope they have a better spray nozzle than the regular Rust-Oleum cans, three cans, three colors, half way through the can and the nozzle clogs and won't unclog no matter how long I soak in turpatine. And of course, no feedback available on the website.
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Your welcome, thanks for watching
I wonder how these would work decanted/through an airbrush
Should work good, I'll try it
I wonder if those trigger spray caps will fit any other cans. They seem a bit easier to control and convenient to use.
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.
Super helpful thank you!
