Can other Rust Oleum paint colors be used with this kit, or is this paint special?

I wouldnt use it at all. We used it last year and already there is a ton of chips and large peices of the paint missing. What a waste of time and money. Wish it it would have worked!!

Regarding bizzy26's situation, did you follow the directions strictly and to the letter? Letting each coat dry as instructed is really important. I haven't seen any problems. I did three bathroom cabinets and kitchen cabinets, as well as a desk, and they all look beautiful still.

I agree with bizzy26. I have used Gianni system as well and prefer it's ease of use and durability.

The kit includes the paint to be used. They offer a number of colors according to their website, although I only seem to remember my local store carrying a few colors. If you wanted a specific color It may be possible to purchase the kit with white paint & have it tinted at the store.

No, you have to use the kit. The deglosser and the other substances that come with it are chemicallyformulated to work together. There are lots of nice colors you can select from.

I was told by Rust-Oleum that you could but it did not work for me. I really like Rust-Oleum products but this one failed.

When I bought my kit at Lowe's I was told I could only choose from the colors on the box. I've since read that Home Depot would tint to whatever color you wanted. Rustoleum should have a better way to sample the colors in your home, in my opinion.

Use a black paint called VHT flame proof coatings. Sand rust spots smooth then paint with VHT

Suggest you contact Rust-Oleum for technical questions. However, I would personally use the product if the fiber glass top has already been primed and painted with automotive paint.

The correct method is to chemically etch the glass, not paint it. You should be looking for glass etching kits, not paint.Official warning from Rust-Oleum: "model # 182510 isn't meant for heated surfaces." - Referring to their frosted glass spray.

I don't know, I suggest you call the Rust Oleum customer service. Have a great day

The colors are shown on the box lid of the kit. This was a very confusing issue for us at the time of purchase, because the place we bought the kits from didn't know how to mix the white; they weren't sure whether to leave it or tint it. It ended up being tinted, which was the right course of action. Later, I've heard people say that you can have the kits tinted with any color you want, but it goes against what we were told at first: that it has to be one of the tints Rustoleum offers for these kits. If it's a big question for you, I'd call Rustoleum about it, their customer service, we've found, is very helpful. The colors are shown on the box lid of the kit.

In the western world no one has used more of this paint than me...you will be fine if don't make the mistake of using the "Universal" formula which is meant for plastics..buy an extra can or two..it is very useful...cheapest at Walmart. I've done desks, chairs, mirrors, lamps and two refrigerators...good luck

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

I didn't have to do it with the Pratt & Lambert paint. I can't advise about other paints. Sorry.

I don't know all 11 colors - but I used English Cream - you can find the colors on the Rust-o-leum website - I had mine tinted at a local paint store that carried Rust-o-leum paints. Home Depot might be another place to find the colors.

I bought this for my husband, and he used 5 different kinds of paint black, white, brown, red, tan and copper. You have to paint by hand, because the parts are too small to spray. He also says be sure to use enamel model paint, not water based paint.
