Side by Side Comparison of: Rust-Oleum vs CRC

Love this rose gold color,!!! And it's easy to spray! Other bottles I try was hard to spray, my fingers would hurt,.

This stuff is AWESOME!I needed to paint some very small plastic toys that had a lot of nooks and crannies and therefore more sprays at different angles... they were about 4" x 5" with tiny details.Paint in general can be very temperamental in terms of spray flow , dripping, and coat quality. Metallic paint adds a whole other concern of clogging because of the metallic particles...I did do two light coats but only 10 minutes apart and I am so amazed at the results....Absolutely no issues whatsoever! LOVE thiis stuff!!

I purchased this spray paint to update some cheap hardware. I wanted copper handles and knobs but buying the real stuff didn't fit into the budget for the project. Using cheap nickle hardware and this Rust-Oleum Copper Metallic spray paint I got the look I wanted for a fraction of the price! It went on smooth, covered fantastic (seriously, one coat!) and is holding up well. I may go back and spray a clear finish on to add a little protection, but the finish on the metallic paint is so beautiful as is I'm afraid to change it with a clear finish!Absolutely would purchase again (probably soon)!

I ordered the Rust-Oleum Copper for a coffee table make-over. I saw pictures of the result of this specific spray paint, and they looked so pretty, I thought I'd try it. I have to admit, I was a little put off by how bright the color on the cap of this is. The spray paint goes on bright, but then darkens a little to a beautiful copper, just like you'd what (or I wanted).The quantity was just enough to paint the entire coffee table. I will be purchasing another for a little touch up and for other DIYs. I should mention, I have seen the price for the copper change from $10 to $7 quite often. I waited for it to become $7 before I purchased it. That is a little annoying, the price just seems to fluctuate from day to day. I would still buy this at $10, but it's not quite as good a deal (especially when gold and silver are about $4) but I just can't seem to get this shade at the Home Depot near me.The marble on the table in my pictures is DC Fix 346-0306 Adhesive Film, Grey Marble, it goes stunningly with this copper. Overall, if you've overused gold and need a change, this is fantastic. The color is lovely and adds to any room, I'm not sure if this is the best price, but the product is worth it for a great DIY.

I bought this spray paint to coat some small toys just for fun. Works great, no problems. Dries quickly to handle and seems to seal decently after 24 hours (no smudging or rub off). I am pleased with the result color and brightness of the gold, looks good and fun to make some things shine! Definitely recommended.

Worked perfectly on an amiibo, thank you I was honestly surprise with the outcome

works fine

Exactly as expected!

Shipped fast and worked great. A bit patchy

Did my rims and lug nuts and stuck with no problem in 2 coats

Easy to use, directions clearly marked and it leaves a nice shiny but not overwhelming coat. I used it on a metal mug tree that needed a new coat after years in the kitchen and this enamel did the trick.

Used this product to spray paint my eifel towers, love it

I've purchased this product a few times on here. The first time worked great, the second time I got a couple of defective cans, so I re-ordered and got another can that worked perfectly again. Had to write a review to point out that the newest can I got has an improved design!! The tip is better - more secure, more comfortable - and the paint applied so easily. Finished painting a ton of frames today and used the whole can the same evening I got it because I was able to get the job done so swiftly!

I love spray painting old things and repurposing them. $10 a can at big box home improvement store vs $4 on Amazon is a no brainer. I bought extra! The finish isn't mirror-like but it's not matte either. It also depends on the texture of what you are spraying but it's never going to look like chrome. Still, there's nothing like spray paint to repurpose something old and funky into something new.

Dries extremely fast and sprays nice and evenly. I find it a bit too reflecting that it takes away from the gold when placed next to a different object of a different color. I painted a vase gold and places it on a white dresser and the vase ended up looking white at the bottom because of the reflection. But like all rustoleum, the quality can't be beat.

From an all-purpose spray, it works nicely. Sticks well to plastics, but not to metal. Tried to spray paint aluminium, rubbed right off even after 24 hours of drying. But for plastics/wood/etc it seems to work nicely. Use primer for a better stick, or try sanding the surface.

It's not as shiny or mirror-like as the cap. It's more of a matte finish. I was hoping that it was just as shiny as the cap since I was spray painting these jar lids to match some Ball mason jar lids. It did the trick, but it wasn't as shiny as the Ball mason jar lids.

I bought the Copper version, observations:Every single time you want to spray the product you have to shake the can, even after setting it down for under 15 seconds you must shake it again, the copper particles are heavy and settle out really fast (then again this might be common to most spray paints, I've just never noticed how fast it separates before this can (spray, check, spray, only propelent < 15 seconds))The copper seems to be made with actual flecks of copper, when I started out it comes out in a pinkish copper shade, then turns to goldish copper, deep yellow, orange, and finally turns brown just like any actual coat of copper: this coat doesn't seem to have enough protectant in it to prevent oxidation, maybe use a clear coat over top of it to keep the air away from it?The coat is more than shiny enough for what I needed it for, but I found the texture was never mirror finish and it varied from dusty to runny (like the flecks of wet fools gold in a river silt stream) to bubbled or peppery texture in appearance. I find myself wishing instead for an ordinary paint can instead of a spray can so I can paint it on smoother, but that isn't the fault of the product.

Worked good thank you.

Good...I purchase a lot of spray paint - and this worked well for me...sprayed evenly and just what I was looking for with a small projected I just completed-would certainly purchase again...

Good stuff

good outdoor spray

It has a nice gloss to it and it sprays evenly. I waited the suggested time for a second coat and it started to show a few small bumps as if there was dirt so I scratched it off (it comes right off) and restarted and it still had a few bumps. It might've just been me but I'm not sure. The first coat was perfect though.

Good paint

This color is beautiful, BUT it leaves a residue which is almost impossible to remove without stripping the item of the color.

This is the only true metallic spray paint that I use for my outdoor projects bc it lasts and it's truly metallic.

the paint is ok. i used it to paint some glass bottles. sad to say the pant did come off from hands touching t (we used the bottle for water later), so the paint is not good for items that will be touched a lot or be in contact with heat.The color was not super great either.

I thought it would be shinier, like the lid. Oh well.

The color was more grey silver than metallic looking

Was hoping for more of a brass-y finish, but this was definitely a gold and much more matte than I expected. It was fine, but was going to refinish the doorknobs in my apartment and have decided against it because it isn't the right look. Luckily this was cheap.

Shipped fast. Item as described. Deterrent to recycle can thieves in my hood taking peoples cans. Now my address is stenciled there. Begone evil doers.

Enamel paint runs. Not happy.

This worked so-so. The spray nozzle is kind of cheap and pops out/breaks easily, which made things kind of messy.

I gave it 3 stars mainly because I did enjoy the product but out of the entire bottle, I'd say only 50% of the spray actually delivered the desired glossy black look. the other 50% of the items sprayed required multiple coatings in order to achieve the same look that for certain items (of the same material) only took one coating. For the items that required multiple coatings, they all turned black, but the more of a flat black color rather than a glossy black color.Other than that, it was a pretty good can. I'll probably buy again as it was the cheapest glossy black I could find, I just hope the next can works a bit better.

Not a very good quality and doesn't cover as much area

Ever since Rustoleum changed the nozzle, it just hasn't been the same! This used to be my go to gold spray paint and used it weekly. I've had to switch to another brand.

The top nozzle missing could not use

I have used Rustoleum Metallic Gold spray paint for over a year and have really been pleased with it. This batch, produced in 2016, is shinier and does not dry and stays sticky. I'm very disappointed.

I used to to spray paint and stool and allowed 48 hours to dry. Unfortunately it started to chip within the first few days. Disappointed

The cap shows a bright, shiny silver color. That's what I wanted; something like silver leaf. The results are darker than expected, and very dull. On a medium sized surface (12"x12") it ends up looking very flat and boring. There's no bright shine to it and just looks like a lump of medium grey plastic. The coat itself is nice, seems strong. But it looks nothing like the cap, and I wouldn't call it silver.

The silver is not chrome, like the lid suggests, but instead a kind of matte metallic silver.

I bought it for $8.63, which is pricey because I can get a better, bigger bottle from Home Depot for less. This bottle is 10 oz for $8.63, but Home Depot sell 12 oz for $5.47. Also, the Home Depot product had a wide spray feature, which makes it easier to spray and more efficient use of the paint.

Spray nozzle is poorly designed, will get paint all over your hands and very little on what you're painting.

HARD TO KEEP TIP FROM CLOGGING. OLD PAINT!

Finger prints everywhere. Make sure you get a top coat but even then it was not ideal. I used on wine bottles for my wedding. First used white primer then this for 2 coats then glossy top coat. Bubbles, prints, etc luckily I didn't care that much.

The spraycan broke after 1 use!!! It still has a ton of paint in there, it's just not possible to spray it, making it entirely useless. The color is amazing, it's just not useful!!

I was not able to return this product as I was told that it did not qualify for return. The can looked old and the spray nozzle did not work.

Very disappointed in this paint. Made sure to shake the can extra long before use, it still dropped off the item I was painting. Thought maybe it was the item and not the paint. Tried on a different item...did the same thing. Not happy.

Purchased these because they were supposed to have the white bigger spray tip on them but it's the tiny one that kills your finger.

I do not recommend this if you want even coverage on metal. I have prepped the piece well and used a base coat primer even, and this still went on unevenly and wasn't dry even two days later. Total crap.

Spray nozzle broken on delivery.

tip fell off taking cap off

The spray can just clogs up and sometimes just drops paint and doesn't spray!!! I need a better one

Sprayer broke after first use.

I tried applying it to wood and 24 hours later it still is not dry. I put it on with light coats but still comes off on my fingers when I touch it to test.
