Sorry, I have only ued it on wood and look great on well sanded wood. I'm sure it would look good on metal as wel. Have used other colors of this product on metal and it is the only brand I Use in my shop.

I have only used paint thus far, but I believe you could if you used a smaller tip. I plan to do it in the future.

I don't know if it will work on metal. On wood works but you have to let it work once applied and you minght need to apply several times

I used it to repair a concrete floor before painting with epoxy paint. Sorry I have not used it for metal repair.

Interesting question. I used it to stop rust only on some parts I intended to paint. Since it chemically bonds to the metal if your intent is to eventually rechrome or repaint the part it may interfere with the process and require completely sanding it off. If parts are pitted this could be a real problem. Also when it dries it turns black which cosmetically would not be very attractive

As the can says it is a metal polish, so I beleive it would work fine on any metal, you just rub some of the product on it until it turns dark and wipe it off, should look great, I have also left a thin coat of the product overnight on items that were realy bad and the next day they came back to life

Hello Bill, To use any primer or paint, you have to clean the metal. Most new metal has at least traces of manufacturing oil on it. This will ruin your paint job even before it's finished. Clean the metal with a strong dishwashing liquid and rinse well with hot water. If you don't have compressed air, at least get as much water out of the inside as possible, then dry off the tube with a clean towel. The make sure that the first inch of the inside is dry so the paint on the edges is not affected by water. Then Prime. The thorough cleaning is very important. Hope that helps! Joe

The can says for Metal, there are cheaper spray paints available that you can use on plastic and glass.

I don't see why you couldn't paint it...the surface would let paint adhere to it...it's not plastic, but made of a heavy metal.

Might be able to use the plastic paint at Lowes or Home Depot in spray cans. I think Krylon makes such a paint. May need a plastic primer first though. Krylon may make this. Not sure.

you can use this paint on rusted areas and painted areas also but the main purpose of this paint is to stop the rust it is reccomended to topcoat this paint after 24 hour dry time with regular paint

The directions tell you not to get any on metal. I'd use rubbing or polishing compound, depending on how bad the markings are.

I believe this paint is designed to work on wood, concrete and steel. You could try it but I doubt that it was designed to stick to rubber or plastic especially if it flexes. You could use it but I doubt it would work. Sorry.

Probably not. Every aluminum paint I've ever tried degrades in the weather. And if you try to use a clear coat over this, it dulls, every time. I know, I tried. Good luck.

I used my Sharpies to draw on posterboard. If the metal had a texture, the markers should work. Slick-finished metal may result in paint that "wipes" easily. Hope this helps!

Although I've never tried it on metal, it should work fine because this wipe-on poly is oil-based and not water-based. A water-based wipe-on poly will cause the metal to rust, but an oil-based one shouldn't.
