What Customers Are Saying
The paint has good quality, coverage, and color, but the spray nozzle is problematic. Many customers reported issues with the nozzle clogging, leaking, sputtering, and causing uneven, messy application. Some experienced the paint "exploding" or "dripping" everywhere, leading to waste and frustration. While the paint itself seems effective, the spray mechanism needs significant improvement to provide a smooth, controlled application.

Would Not RecommendI did not read the reviews before purchasing. I went to Lowes and bought this paint for the color and for the type of spray nozzle. I too like many others only got it to spit out and would not stop. I got paint all over me and my project I was working on. It will have to be sanded down and start over. Hopefully it did not ruin it. I thought it might have just been a defective can but after seeing all the bad reviews I know it is a bad design that seems to have been goin on for some time.

sputters and drips
Would Not RecommendPaint sputters and drips out of nozzle and runs down your fingers while spraying. Not only got on my hand but dripped on my shoe and brand new patio before I noticed it was leaking.

Spits and sputters
Would Not RecommendWe purchased two cans of farmhouse black, both were well shaken. Both cans did not spray right and spit paint rather then spray it. One can leaked all over the place after spraying and I tilted it. I now see similar reviews and am shocked this problem still exists. We returned the cans to lowes as defective but did take pictures of the batch. I've used Rustoleum for years, no more now.

Uneven coat
