I used it to shoot some pretty large areas on the newly repaired Escort. Fantastic finish. Single coat full opacity coverage (at least if spraying black over red). I mean, I do know how to spray, but this stuff REALLY made me look like I actually know what I am doing. Too bad it only comes in black, white, red, yellow, and clear. Just thought I would give my experience, for those needing to spray bomb their hoopties.

I may need to look into that for my mom's rendezvous, The black paint on the top of the hatch is coming off

I wonder if I could use the white to paint the hood, grille and sunroof on the CRX of Doom™. The PO painted them black to hide the imperfections and it makes the car look really trashy.

 I have no idea what he painted it with though. How well does it play with other spraybomb paint?

Is this the stuff?

That be the stuff. It ought to work well with any fully cured automotive paint. I would give the new Surface a quick rub with 600 grit since enamels do best with some mechanical bonding.

Rustoleum has really stepped up their game lately. On two different occaisions lately I've used some of their generic "2x Ultra Cover" spray paint and have been really, really impressed. Like enough that I will drive across town to Home Depot just to buy spray paint next time.

I think this recently came up in another thread, but get one of the handles to spray with, like this:


It'll make using rattle bombs significantly better, both for application and end results.  And I think I paid less than $5 for mine?

They have it at Walmart, $3.47 per can.

I dont think ive ever had a bad experience with anything with the rustoleum name on it. I used their farm and implement paint on the axle and front wheels of my tractor. I did it with a brush and theres not a brush mark to be found. It was thick and leveled itself out super nice. I used rustoleum to paint my mustang engine (i cant remember which variety, if it was labeled as engine paint, or something else) and it had held up really well. 

When i was painting the floor pans and rollcage in my jeep i had i had some rustoleum and some el cheapo stuff in the garage so i figured i would just use it all up. The rustoleum went on so much better that i realised i was money ahead to buy it over the bargain stuff. They do make a great product. Not a canoe, its just that when i find something really good i will brag them up online.
