What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional coverage, vibrant colors, and ease of application. Most note that a single coat delivers full, even results with no streaks or drips, and the paint dries quickly in 20 to 30 minutes. Reviewers highlight the wide color selection and reliable performance on outdoor items like furniture and railings. The spray nozzle is described as comfortable and precise, and many appreciate the paint-and-primer-in-one formula. A few report inconsistent coverage or application streaks, though most attribute these to technique rather than product quality. Overall, customers express strong confidence and plan to repurchase.

Incredibly even spray paint. No drips!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was an incredibly easy to use spray paint! I admit I am no Picasso, but I could easily pass off as experienced painter with these. I've had issues in the past with dripping, spots that don't dry right. Uneven sprays, but not with these. It's a consistent even spray from beginning to end. It has primer already added so no need for extra steps. It begins drying quickly leaving no time for drips! I am quite impressed. I have never been a huge...

Easy to apply

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love to use Krylon paint for household projects. There is no strong odor when spraying on anything, it sprays evenly and doesn’t drip. The can itself isn’t too heavy so it’s easy to handle when applying to your project.

Not so good - thin, not good coverage

Would Not Recommend

This paint is so thin you put several coats you still don't have full coverage. I am not impressed with this paint. I've used the behr spray paint before and it works pretty good.

Covers great. No runs

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always liked Krylon. It's been my experience it runs less on vertical surfaces better than the others. Produced in my home state too.

Tough & durable. Color stays true.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I painted my Dwarf Racecar last year with COLORmaxx. And then this year, as I was touching up my race car I was amazed at how well the color had stayed true it had little to no fade, and also the durability to all the mudd, small rocks and things that make up the surface of a dirt race track. PS. We are always looking for sponsorship, a Krylon race car would be an eye catcher. Just saying.

Poor Quality Paint

Bought this paint to do a project for my wife and what a mistake. On the can it says " no runs, no drips, no messes" which is false. It runs terribly and you can't move your hand fast enough to get it not to run. And with 2 coats still can see thru. Seems very watered out. Very dissatisfied with this paint.

Got a mess on my hands...and everywhere else!

Would Not Recommend

Add us to the long, long list of dissatisfied Colormaxx users/victims. Bought 5 cans in 3 different colors for a project. The nozzles on all "spritz" and leak and the coverage is terrible. It made a huge mess of both the project and the area around where I was painting from the dripping and sputtering. If you have no choice but to use this junk, have at least a 10-12 foot "blast radius" for the mess this stuff will make. And as a surprise bonus, you'll probably have to sand/strip the lousy job f...

Doesn’t Cover Well At All

Would Not Recommend

This stuff didn’t stick well at all. I used a matte primer beforehand and the spray paint went on streaky and so much of it was wasted as it just rolled off and puddled underneath. I had to use so many coats that the finished product was extremely thick and had drips. I’ve never had problems like this with spray paint before.

Great paint, terrible cap

Would Recommend

Used white gloss to repaint a frame and it worked great. Not sure why some comments say it’s watery. It sprays evenly and adheres well. But I do agree with other reviews that say the cap is impossible to remove. It definitely is! Had to pry off from base of cap which also took off the nozzle. Nozzle snaps back on fine but forget about snapping cap back on unless you want to deal with the drama again.
