Rust-Oleum 239075 Stops Rust Hammered Finish Paint, Quart, Dark Bronze, 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I’ll start off with the hate painting because it always shows my mistakes this stuff seem to have some sort of metal flakes or something in it which gives it a somewhat rough appearance, but still very smooth and hides every little imperfection. I lightly sanded my outdoor overhang used a foam roller on flat metal. The stuff coats with one coating crazy thick, looks like it’ll be there a lot longer after the overhang is gone! I’d buy again.

excellent consistent finish on variety of surface without excessive preparation (ie clean, and dry) - it really does work to give th euniform finish. used on a pool filter (uv and algae damaged fiberglass) and it looks like new. note two coats are rquired - second 30 mins after first - wrap you brush in clingfilm to presrve between coats, then dispose of th ebrush. this needs solvent cleaner so not worth saving a brush, but be sure to have some paint thinner or solvent cleaner to hand for minor cleanup. wear disposable gloves to save your hands.

I used this Rust-Oleum Hammer paint to paint my 25 year old Hayward pool filter. I was looking for something that would be good for this purpose and my Internet search took me to this product. I did some light sanding before applying 2 coats. The result looks really good. The color is much darker than the original color of the filter but still looks really good.

The fumes are horrible! First I used a smooth surface roller . Do not use that. I had to sand it again. So I used smooth to semi smooth. Much better as seen in my photo. Make sure to wipe as much off the roller pad because this type of paint is heavy and sticky. It kept shedding chunks at first. Easy fix. You have to work fast as others have said, because it will start to dry and won’t be a smooth surface as shown in the 3rd picture. In large spaces like counter tops you are going to need a huge amount of patience.I forgot to put on gloves also and I had to use a pumice stone to rub it off. It gets under your nails and it is extremely hard to get off. As for the fumes … I have window fans blowing the air out and I’ve had diarrhea in the mornings and a headache . I shut my bedroom door, so my dog and I have some relief. Not a great idea for both of us using this paint. I have a lot of air circulation too. So suggestion is to wear a sanding / painting type of mask . It helps. Also be prepared because I had to leave each coat to dry over night or at least 4 hrs between coats. Happy painting!

Rolled on smooth.

This paint is beautiful! The color looks better than I imagined. Just look at the before and after.The dark brown is amazing and makes my gate look like new.
