What Customers Are Saying

The Rust-Oleum spray primer is generally effective at preventing rust and providing a good base coat for painting metal surfaces. Many customers reported that the primer applies smoothly, offers excellent coverage, and dries quickly. Several noted it sands well and creates a smooth finish for topcoats. However, some customers experienced issues with the primer not adhering properly, having a rough texture, or clogging the spray nozzle. Proper surface preparation and following the instructions closely are key to achieving the best results.

Sprays on easily. I used it on metal to ensure it didn't rust when outside in the elements.

Go slow

 Would Recommend

This paint is fairly forgiving. If you keep your coats light you won’t get runs and streaks.

Horrible finish

 Would Not Recommend

Looks like 80 grit sand paper when sprayed following directions. The only way I would get a halfway descent finish was to spray it SUPER thick but then it would run. Ended up sanding it all off and doing it again with the 2 in 1 primer and then it came out perfect
