Rustoleum customer services have been very helpful when I phoned 4 times in the last week. My issue is with their colours department who can only be contacted by email. Very curt replies wanting an order number. they 'missed' an email from me to say that I had an invoice number but no order number. The return just said exactly the same as their first reply, give us an order number and then we can help you. I phoned CS again and they emailed Colours again. This times the email started by telling me off, 'As we have said before' and the CS department should not be used as you have. THEY MUST go on an 'how to reply to an email course' and not be so rude and abrupt . They appear to be very robotic sending out replies that have not responded to my questions about such things as colour swatches and how to do returns.

OK, easy to apply -tick Great coverage and looks good - tick As for wether it can be applied straight onto painted or varnished wood as it claims - absolutely not. I applied two coats of this, in workshop conditions , to a previously painted floor (diamond hard white floor paint) and it scratches , nay flakes off at the first touch from anything that isn't a socked foot! A chair slightly moved takes both layers off... the heel of a boot etc etc. I gave it 3stars because it looks good but I have to varnish it ASAP!!

I read other reviews before buying this product there were mixed reviews about the trigger this spray comes with. I bought the aged copper colour and I started spraying for about a minute. I left it and the next morning I lifted the can to start spraying again it went for about 20 seconds then the trigger wouldn't work. Nothing as I pulled the black trigger. In the end had to cut the top of and put a normal wee spray top on it from another can. The colour also aged copper is not like the colour on top of the can it is more like a soft gold .I used the spray on numerous different surfaces as obviously the lighting and surface you are painting will give different results. It is definitely not the colour of the top of the can. I am giving it 3 stars as it seems to be a good paint spray as in quality and durability. Pity about the silly trigger.

Paint itself does a wonderful job.However colour chart on tin bears no resemblance to actual colour of paint.I would have thought might be a slight difference but not totally different. Not impressed with colour charts.

On bare wood can’t fault it but on existing cupboards it is utter garbage. It says on the tin “no rubbing down” I tried no rubbing down and garbage. I tried rubbing down and still garbage. I have come to the conclusion that this and other paint of a similar construction are no more than a fad. It’s nothing more than a tin of liquified dust. I did coat a layer of furniture wax on the bare wood after painting with rust oleum also on the cupboards. Bare wood looks fabulous. As for the cupboards! They look like something out of a horror movie.

I like the flat black spray but about every 3rd can, the inside tube comes loose. The only way I can finish the can is spraying it upside down.

Not that good needs a couple of coats and finish is streaky even with the most expensive of brushes. Would not recommend.

I bought this paint because it was the exact colour I wanted. Thyme. Beautiful. I upscaled a cupboard which looks great and also painted my radiators, they look awesome. I then decided to paint the outside of my house PVC windows and composite door. I did all the preparation work to both made sure everything was done right watched numerous how to on line to ensure I did everything correctly. They look absolutely beautiful and I am pleased with the end result, however, not so much on the edges of the door. This paint takes sooo long to cure, it’s a nightmare. Over the last 15 weeks I’ve had to re paint where the paint has been pulled off by the paint sticking to the weather strip, which incidentally couldn’t be removed beforehand, I left it 5 weeks in between to cure and wrapped the edges with grease proof paper to protect it. Obviously it’s opening and closing all the time but seriously 5 weeks?! I did the finger nail test and it finally looked like it was cured but then a bit of heat from the sun on the door has made the edges tacky again and has just pulled it straight off when I opened the door! I am really disappointed that happened but, the rest of the door is perfect. I was going to do my kitchen units but the length of time it takes to cure has ruled that out. I love the new look and it has certainly transformed the outside of my house, but as I said.. just be very wary of the curing time.
