Rust-Oleum 400ml Universal Metallic Spray Paint - Aged Copper

I have used various brands of spray over the years on multiple projects from Wilkos own to Plasticote and I have to say that the coverage of this and the ease of use is unparalleled.I have attached a picture that shows a lamp that I was spraying for a friend of mine. As you can see the lamp on the right is it before and the lamp on the left is it after two coats of the  Rust-Oleum Surface Primer Multi-Purpose Spray Paint Stain Block Grey Matt (1 Pack) . I was firstly amazed at the even coverage that I achieved with such little effort, and secondly, by the time it took to dry. I was soon applying the actual paint to the primed lamp which was Rust-Oleum Copper and can be seen in the second image.The paint went down very easily and evened itself out very quickly. To achieve the finish in the pictures I applied two coats of paint.BE AWARE: I still had some of the paint and primer left after spraying these 4 lamps but as it is so affordable I'd recommend getting 2 (also because once you've breathed new life into one or two new items you'll be addicted.It takes a little while to get used to the direction of the spray from the nozzle. It seems to spray better up and down rather than left to right.ONLY COMPLAINT: My only complaint which is why this has three stars is the colour. This was supposed to be bronze but as I'm sure you can see from the pictures the final outcome is much more of a gold. Admittedly the workshop I took these photos in is well lit and my friend's house will be duller and therefore soften the shine, however, in my opinion, it is a flaw.

Seriously disappointed. The product itself is fine but what use is it if the colour is nothing like what you are expecting. The person who designed the can colour clearly had no idea what the paint actually looked like. Aged Copper should just be called GOLD. Nothing like copper!

Ordered this as I ran out of white spray paint through a project. It proceeded to completely ruin the guitar I was refinishing. Going over a perfectly smooth coat of another brand of white spray paint, it dried in massive wrinkles, which pulled off chips of the entire undercoat when I tried to sand them down. Oh, and the nozzle meant it was borderline impossible to spray evenly, and occassionally would mix in propellant with the paint, meaning it bubbled as it dried onto the surface. Avoid if you can.

I may buy an industrial vat of this and just chuck it over the roof of my house. This stuff is amazing. I use it to paint everything including the manky old fireplace tiles, an IKEA shoe cabinet, a white baby gate, a fire grill. I gave everything a light key except the baby gate and all worked. The tiles were painted 18 months ago and still look amazing and I had the chimney swept. The shoe cabinet is melamine I think and looks great. Two cons: it stinks, my poor dog in the next room was sneezing non-stop, a bit concerning. It also sprays really well and evenly but towards the end of the can, it can “splutter” leaving spots in the finish. When you notice this, just don’t go overkill and use a new can. Or use the dregs on the underside or back of the object.

After reading reviews and looking at a blog I decided to purchase this paint as it’s suitable for aluminium and nylon fibre garden chairs. Easy to spray and sprays evenly. Two coats did the job with a little for touching up afterwards. I was able to spray quite closely with a good even coverage. Admittedly the cans don’t last long before you run out so make sure you have enough cans before starting your project. One can covered most of one of my chairs and needed touch ups from a second can. Have purchased more to complete the rest of then garden furniture.

Very disappointed with this trying to spray a model boat. Even after keeping paint at room temperature and shaking vigoursly for about 10 miins, paint starts to come out then its only propellant, wipe nozzle, shake vigorously then works briefly again and repeat, giving a patchy finish with drips where it came out stronger.Tried this in warm garage with doors open but still fumes were really strong even wearing appropriate mask so suggest outside spraying only weather permitting.Had better results holding can upside down. Won't be buying another as don't want a repeat of this.Love the colour though so going to just use tinned version and small paint pads.

Absolutely brilliant colour, I’m repainting a vintage Mixte bicycle frame and love it.Unfortunately, though it’s a 400ml can, I have almost run out after only 3 coats! Full can weighed 400g, currently after only 3 light coats that leave areas still bare and others not as rich as I want, it’s at about 150g.I don’t like the nozzle either. It looks fancy but it can’t be detached and it’s not as natural to use. I’ve made mistakes I’ve never made before with other cans. Give me a simple button nozzle any time. Overall, would recommend if you have the money for multiple cans.

Used to spray paint our mdf fireplace. Sticks well so defo multipurpose. I bought 2 cans and only used about 3/4 of 1 can so lasts well.However, I would say it is "Matt" at all. It's quite clearly got a sheen to it and almost glossy.And the amount of "paint mist" that went everywhere. Despite newspapering and covering surrounding areas. My floor was absolutely covered in black dust and was sneezing black boogers 🤢😂Very very messy product. So just make sure to cover all possibly areas with dust sheets etc. As in ALL AREAS in which you do not want paint on.Luckily it came off the floor after a good clean with zoflora.
