Would RecommendFor years, I have found Rust-Oleum brand spray cans frequently lose their internal pressure over time. Have several new cans purchased many months ago for future business projects barely spray or don't at all. Product is too old for me to expect retailer to refund/exchange/replace. On-hand extra (NEW) spray nozzles tried don't work either. Not a nozzle problem. Also have a few used, but mostly full cans have same problem. Only cure I've found is to lay cans out in hot sun awhile or in a buck...

Narrow spray
Good product but spray is very narrow and is difficult to get good coverage for a fully wet finish without using a lot of paint strokes.

Pretty solid, easy to use
Would RecommendWorks pretty well, I used it on my wife's bike as a base primer, so far over a few weeks it still looks great. Also, I used it to stop rust on my bike engine's exhaust, and I know it isn't rated for high temperature, but it still hasn't bubbled off or flaked off even after a few weeks of daily use of getting the exhaust up to temperature, so I am pretty impressed!
