Rust-Oleum 210849 Each Hammer Metal Finishing Spray

I just painted my car with Rust-Oleum 210849 Hammered Copper Paint. Great stuff!!! Of course painting a car is all about the prep work, and let me tell you, my car needed a LOT of prep work. I spent a couple of weeks using Bondo to fill all the holes (almost 2 quarts), then sanding it all down. My 37 year old Toyota Corolla station wagon had lots of rust spots too, so I sanded those down, not to bare metal, but almost there. The day of the painting, I started by wiping the whole car down with mineral spirits. Then I got the car all taped up with Blue Tape and masking paper, that took about 5 hours (I was painting the wheels too). I was really curious as to whether the paint would actually cover all the rust spots without using primer first. I bought 8 cans of the paint and ended up getting about 1 coat per can. By the way, if you're going to try to paint your car with canned spray paint (or use a lot of cans for any project), do yourself a favor (like I did) and buy the Rustoleum Comfort Grip. It's just a little plastic handle thing that fits over the top of the can and has a lever that you squeeze to activate the nozzle. It's definitely worth a few dollars for how easy it makes using spray cans. So,how did the paint do? It looks great. I used 7 cans, light coats each time, and it slowly but surely built up to a very nice looking finish. I didn't have any problems with clogging, and was able to use each can fully. I'll try to add some before and after photos. It really did cover the rust spots. It might have looked better with a coat of primer, but hey, I was just trying to get it to look better, and it does. Just for your info, the Rustoleum Silver wheel paint looks exceptional too. Just be sure and use very light coats and build it up. It took less than one can for 4 wheels and I put on 6 coats.

Paints a rusty metal bathroom stand. Looks great. Only 4 stars because its expensive.

Live the color

Good quality spray paint and my pots look good after painting. Paint adheres to the surface and is not watery.

I really like how this project turned out. My 7 year wedding anniversary was in the first week of July. It's the year of copper. I had a really hard time finding something for my husband that he would like and/or value. I cheated a little by using spray paint; but it worked beautifully. I purchased a textured walnut colored frame from Michael's, sprayed part of the frame (the idea was to give it the hammered copper look), and then added our wedding song. I was nervous it wouldn't match anything in our home, being that copper isn't a color I use in my home decor. Then I realized my blanket bin that I recently purchased from Target has copper colored handles. Would ya look at that! I'm actually really loving the look. I just might use this spray paint for more pieces around my house! 😉 ** The only complaint that I have is the lid to the can arrived completely shattered. Other than that, it's a good product. Easy to use and dried fairly quickly. **
