Ratings & Reviews for Project Source Flat Black Oil-based Spray paint ( NET WT. 10-oz )

General use spray paint

Nice coverage. Used on outdoor wicker furniture. Each can worked from full to totally empty as expected. Nice price point for job at hand.

Good paint for simple tasks

I use this to paint my steel targets. Works great. Keeps the lead contact down, too.

Great value for price. Yes, other cans cover more area, but not double the area , But others are double the cost.

Good paint

As far as I can tell, this brand is as good as any of the others costing 2-3 times as much.

Matte black spray paint

Project Source - Inexpensive spray paint readily available and easy to use. Good generic project material.

the strangest paint I've ever used

First off, the coverage of the paint is good. The fumes are manageable, and the finished product is acceptable. Now for the kicker. You have to wipe off the finished surface of the product, which if not, has a black loose dust on it that gets on everything. I cannot tell if it is settlement from the particles floating in the garage air or not, which should not have been a problem since I had fans sucking the fumes away from the work area. Once dry, there's a fine black powder, which once wiped o...

My Review of Project flat black paint

I build Iron Handrails for a living. I normally use the rust-oleum Professional Flat Black Paint for my projects. I some times use my spray gun on larger projects and the spray can on smaller projects. so on this particular job, I have 2 pairs of handrails with square pickets. one set of long and one set of short rails. I saw this cheap paint and read the specs. I was impressed with the said performance of the paint so I bought a case, I mean heck its a little over a dollar a can. so I took one ...

Good Value

Works well. This type Paint does not clog the nozzle or lose pressure as some combination paint & primers do.

spray paint

i bought 2 colors for my use at home: gloss & flat black,and white, ALL good for now, have to wait to see because doesn't indicate on can anywhere , if has a minimum temperature, to see if good after winter?

Crafts

I tried out this inexpensive spray paint on Halloween crafts. It needed a couple of coats and the smell was stronger than other spray paints I’ve used but worked great on styrofoam

Terrible spray paint

Worse spray paint I've ever used! Does not cover well. I won't waste my time trying to make this work!

Great Spray Paint

This is a true flat black. Spray flow is very light but that makes it easier to control application thickness. Smoothness of finish is excellent. I have used name brand flat blacks and this one blows them away for flatness and ease of use.

Very poor coverage

I tried to use this to prime my plastic and metal miniature models and had a very poor experience. I tried 2 cans to make sure it wasn't just a bad can. After 3 coats I was still seeing lots of gaps and silver showing through. I put it aside for use on larger projects but wouldn't recommend this for anyone doing anything that requires good coverage with just a first or second coat. Note the silver still shows through in the attached photos - and this was after the 4th and final coat.

Nice price point

I bought this paint for painting some stencils on signs, it worked great for that, but I think I would use better paint for an actual painting project, but you can't beat the price, and the can lasted through A Lot of signs.

great waste of time.

I suppose this would work on a project where nothing could come into contact with the paint once it was dry, but every single project I've used this on, with proper preparation and use, it just scratched right off. yes I lightly sand and wipe off all the dust. I don't have problems with any other brand so I'm pretty sure this stuff just sucks. Rust-Oleum is much more expensive but at least it works as expected, so to me, the cheap stuff is a waste of time and money.

Worst coverage ever

I have tried to get this stuff to cover something, anything without any luck at all. I shake it. I apply several coats;lightly, heavily and it does not work. I was using the gloss white so maybe it is just this color. I hope it has an excuse. I am now stuck with three cans of crap.
