Side by Side Comparison of: Martha Stewart vs Rust-Oleum

Love this color. It matches my decor perfectly.I have purchased so many bottles, & already need more.I used it to paint some small shelves, picture frames and planters. Dries very quickly & looks great!If it came in a bigger size that would make me so happy!

This paint is delectable!I tried using a different gold plating paint, but it was messy and runny. Martha's paint, however, is pretty clean (there's a small hole in the top for better control of the paint flow, especially when you only need a small quantity. Or you can take the lid off and more quickly lob a big blob of paint onto your palate).The gold color is beautiful too. I've noticed some other "gold" paints I've experimented with coming out looking more brown (lacking the shimmery luster) or more copper and antiqued. This shade is exactly what I want when I'm working with gold hues.Just as a heads up: these ARE small containers and are best used for smaller projects. Otherwise, you'll need to buy several bottles.

This paint has worked great on multiple surfaces, has a great color, and I've not had issues with coverage. Overall, it is better than expected...too many gold shades haven't been as gold as I wanted and THIS DELIVERS. I will buy more from the Martha Stewart brand in the future when I'm looking for a very specific color.

Wow! I LOVE this in the copper color. Look at the beautiful effects I was able to create on some (less-than-perfedt) beads and pendants I made. I'm sure I'll use this for a lot of different crafts and will be buying more!

Works great on fabric without any fabric medium! I use it to make shirts for my business and customers live how sparkly and soft it is.

I used this and Martha Stewart's fabric medium to paint some satin shoes that I had been informed couldn't be dyed. It took a few coats to get the full effect of the pearly sheen promised on the bottle, but the end result was gorgeous! Added bonus -- the fabric medium keeps the paint from cracking with wear.

good

Great color. Worked well. Tiny bottle though. It only was enough for one small project.

Small item that is great for surfaces and canvases and other crafts. Only 2 ounce can. I think a little goes a long way. The color depth is good.

Takes a couple of coats to get an opaque finish. Initial coat overtop of a black shelf was pretty sheer. The final dried texture is a bit sticky, especially if you plan to put something in an area where it can get hot. I painted a jewelry shelf that I keep in my bedroom. I don't have central air and sometimes when it gets hot in there, my jewelry sticks to the paint a little or dents it.

I use this paint for crafting and in my artwork. It has a nice consistency, not dry, but thick enough that there's no running or pooling. It can be painted on with a brush, sponged, rolled on,, etc. It is multipurpose - I've successfully applied it to paper, burlap, canvas, plaster, and glass. For me, the drying time is about 10 - 15 mintes. It dries without stickiness or tackiness, and remains fast even when I apply polyurethane. I like that it's metallic without glitter.I've made multiple purchases of this paint, and some of the other colors. I find them all excellent, with the exception of the silver. The silver is acceptable but runny. Since my experience has been the same with all but the silver, I'll be using this review for all but the silver.

I used this to paint over some alphabet wood blocks (two blocks about 7 inches tall), and it definitely needed several coats to get the same color as is advertised on the canister, however, when it was completed, it did look pretty great! It's a small container, but it really does go far, I was able to cover all sides of the wood blocks, and I do believe I have some extra paint left.

Great color but not much coverage out of one bottle. Had to do multiple coats

very thin; needs 3-4 coats.

it looked a little darker than I was expecting.

This paint is a good rose gold color but it does not look shiny and metallic like I was hoping. It's not matte but it's not glossy at all.

The color is a beautiful gold! I used some of this for mason jars, which was a bit streaky (needed several coats), but beautiful nonetheless.Mine also seemed to be missing a cap. All it had was a seal on the top.... once that was broken, I couldn't reseal the top of the bottle, which was a bit annoying and knocked my rating down one star.

The color is actually more copper than rust. It is a pretty copper color, but not what I was looking for. The paint quality is good for crafting and I have no qualms with using the brand, just the shade is not even close to being a real rust color. Just one of the issues when buying online, hard to really see what you are getting.

Poor coverage. I primed mini key findings with a base primer, but it still took 4+ coats to get the right color.

The paint​ does not look rose gold at all, just a dark gold color. It also has a bad smell. It does have a good consistency though

This isn't rose gold, it's a plain metallic gold and takes several coats to stick and cover, even with sanding.

A little thin, takes many coats to cover.

I ordered the paint in rose gold, and I can't see any coppery pink tones to the paint. The paint has more silvery and light gold tones. In the picture I have the paint next to two rose gold plated beads.Its function as a paint is fine.

Pretty color but I would say more beige than rose gold.

This product flakes off in less than a day. Not worth the money at all.Definitely does not work on plastic

Ordered the rose gold but it looks like plain old gold. It is a nice metallic paint but not even close to the color I wanted.

This paint must have been left out in the cold it was just to lumpy and it messed up my painting and I'm returning it back to Amazon.com for refund. I'm very disappointed because I thought Martha always had the best in everything!!!!

I received it without the bottle cap. I'm very disappointed.

Clumpy and an odd texture.

Wll at least it was not too expensive, but I would suggest to never buy paints online, although I realize that sometimes it has to be done. So far not one paint I have bought looks or acts anything like the description, and this one is NO exception. Ah well. Live and learn, then learn again, and again. It is not at all a rose gold but just a gold gold, from what I could see. So, I gave up on my project for now.
