This red gloss protective sucks Rust-Oleum it blotches it runs it peels off metal when dry I will never buy their products again

I used Rustoleum concrete and garage paint for my covered patio. I followed the instructions to a T. I even contacted customer service to make sure I was doing it correctly because I didn’t want to do this again. I ground my concrete with an angle grinder and a concrete wheel. I was told I did not need to etch this. I proceeded as directed per customer service and the directions on the canned. A year later the paint is peeling and coming up. I have a very large porch. Some looks real good. Some looks terrible. I contacted customer service. They will only Cover the cost of the paint. I spent countless hours prepping this concrete. This is a DIY product. I feel they should help me figure out how to get this fixed to my satisfaction. I was told it was not covered under their customer satisfaction. I will never use rust oleum again. I had used another roast oleum product on a different project and it was horrible as well. Buyer beware go somewhere else do some thing else do not use Rustoleum!

I would like to make others aware that Rustoleum Paint Products that contain Hydrous Magnesium Silicate (TALC) recently have had the warning, "Constituents may also contain asbestiform or non-asbestiform tremolite", added to their Safety Data Sheets. After repeated attempts over several months to their support department to understand what "asbestiform and non-asbestiform tremolite" means, I was given a PR response indicating they have no control from their supplier to providing "asbestiform free" raw materials. Again repeatedly asking them to define "Asbestiform", I finally received an answer that they will not provide any further support or definition to what "asbestiform or non-asbestiform tremolite" is. By assumption, Asbestiform typically means Asbestos. In this case, "TREMOLITE ASBESTOS". Rustoleum is potentially selling you an incredibly lethal form of Asbestos in their products. I would stay clear from any paint from this company or others that contain Talc in their paints. Unfortunately, I sanded their product many years ago to make a smooth surface for a final coat of paint in my sons bedroom. They advertise many of the products they sell, including the one I used, as sand-able. I am incredibly worried about our families safety now. The poor support, lack of care for assuring safety of their customers and continued avoidance of my question is incredibly discouraging.

I purchased a tin of white Rust-Oleum paint for a kitchen revamp as the results in store looked impressive. I followed the instructions on the tin to clean, sand and leave 16 hours between coats. The first coat went on fine, the following day I applied the 2nd coat and it started to crackle. I thought that the paint just needed to settle but the cracked finish was still there after the allotted drying time. I contacted Rust-Oleum to see if they could give me any advice and after 6 emails I actually gave up. Their only concern seemed to be the receipt rather than supporting a customer. I have stopped using the paint now and will continue using another well known brand that is actually cheaper to complete the task.

Really really unhappy and disappointed with this company- I wanted to create a chalk pen wall in my kitchen - I did my research and having been very impressed with their products choose to us Rustoleum I am a very experienced painter and have very high quality rollers I followed the instructions and I have to say my concern started when I had to spend ages mixing the paint as it was separated in a clear liquid and a blob of what looked like PVA glue - long story short it went on so badly even though I’d mixed it I did the two coats with plenty of drying time and the next day I was hoping it would dry clear and work - nope dried like I’d painted actual glue on my wall and to make this situation even more frustrating the chalk pen doesn’t rub off even with soapy water. I have contacted Rustoleum directly no response the paint under this awful product will now need repainting so not only have I wasted a day I’ll now need to pitch more paint and spend more time on this I am really not happy to not chase them and ask for some form of compensation their paint is not as advertised- certainly not fit for purpose- please be warned - either this was a once of bad batch or this product should not be sold

Terrible ,painted straight on it says,reacted,had to strip it all off ,cost many a lost hours ,yes was prepped right Never again

Can’t believe I’ve wasted hours painting furniture with this paint. The colour (sand black) was lovely and coated reasonably well with two coats but it chips off with the slightest touch. I sanded the furniture well before application but it’s made no difference. I’m now going to have to start again with another product!!!! Super frustrating. Don’t waste your money!

Ordered the gloss finish furniture paint to paint my old fashioned dressing table, it came very quick and was packaged perfectly. I bought this as it said no sanding was required as it would paint over varnished furniture. It is very runny and I was dubious, but after 2 coats it looked amazing and I only used half the tin so I am now going to do my bedside tables
