Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
This paint tends to blow out globules of paint along with the spray. I tried 2 different "serial numbers" from Walmart and also the Ace Hardware version of this paint. They usually start out O.K. but then start blowing the globules.
It is not worth the risk. |

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
Hi Richard,
Thanks so much for taking your valuable time to report this Rust-Oleum paint failure information. One can only imagine a similar case of the "REDS" accompanied by mental anguish, total frustration; e.g.: 1. Spend countless hours preparing Model A wire wheels for painting. 2. Spend hard earned cash for paint. 3. Begin painting and the paint exits the paint cans like a bad case of high pressure diarrhea. 4. Then, carefully removing very sticky Rust-Oleum epoxy diarrhea from one's Model A wire wheels. 5. Someone may be kind enough to mention another brand of epoxy paint, (perhaps with an Imodium formula, LOL), that works well .......... in order to benefit future serious Model A wheel painters. |

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
usually only happens when you don't shake it enough. Shake required time and then another minute. Wayne

1. To first copy the Rust-Oleum cans' "serial numbers" prior to buying the Rust-Oleum paint; and, 2. Next call Rust-Oleum to ask for a "knowledgeable" paint technician ...... (from experience, most front desk people answering manufacturers' business phones today could care less if your can is either empty or loaded with Wasp Spray ); and, 3. Ask this technician if these serial numbers allows one to date the contents of the can; and if so, 4. Would he/she "highly" recommend using this particular can, "after" relating Richard's "horrible" experience with globules in the can. 5. Epoxy appliance paint may or may not have a specified shelf life accompanied with a record of not having a short turn over sales rate. 6. The spray painting "time" and hard work factor is always 99% of sweat for preparation and 1% of time spent in applying paint. Hope this can help someone in the future. |

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
epoxy paint may also be designed to be globulous, it gives it that textured look many appliances have. Kinda like the rustoleum hammered paint line.
unless it s literally painting like flicking a paint brush, I've had that due to the nozzles getting clogged and old paint.

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
Had the same exact thing happen to me. Fortunately, I was painting a panel for washer. Still frustrating to wash with thinner. Returned paint and purchased same from another store with no further problems. As Colin mentioned, I think it was simply old paint.

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
spray cans to paint wheels?
powder coat is the preferred method, it lays down like glass and is very chip resistant. |

As for rattle cans, the paint from those goes dull and grey in a short time. They're not for me.

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
Sometimes, you can find nozzles that do a FAN shaped spray, instead of a FUNNEL shaped spray. They do a REALLY nice job.
When buying spray cans, ASK for extra nozzles, THEY'RE FREE! Bill W.

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
I just painted the underside of my running boards with Rust-Oleum Appliance epoxy paint with no problems. (I figure that fading will not be a problem since they will never see direct sunlight.)

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
had this happen 3x at walmart- what I am guessing is that when they get large shipments, they are leaving them out and the paint gets funky in the cold.
buy my rustoleum elsewhere now and NO problems............... |

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
To stop the fading of powder coating, have the coater guy put a clear coat over your color. If you do not want the coating too thick, then use one coat of color and one coat of clear.

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
Billy may have got lucky,--- asking a question like that in my neck of the woods is akin to having a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Re: Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy Paint Warning
Rattle can paint doesn't have a hardener in it, so it won't hold up. Seen many appliances running down the road? Appliance paint is for indoors. Rustoleum never seems to stick well or flow for me-I much prefer Krylon for spray paint.
