if you get this on an adjacent painted surface next to a rusty place, does it hurt the paint?

The directions on bottle say to "avoid painted surfaces." However I did a bit of overlapping on my job onto a painted surface and no harm seemed to be done. The stuff is painted on with a brush, so Iused an small artist type brush for close areas. I did the job last April and the door still looks like new. I suggest you try a small amount on to a painted surface you don't care much about to see for yourself.

You'll have to paint over that spot. Because plastic who turns everything black

It could. It's a powder coated metal so it's smooth, but if you were to move it around a lot then I have no doubt that it could damage the paint. That being said, no damage so far over here.

I have mine in a corner of the kitchen, but it seems to have a powder coat of bronze paint all over, so I think it may not rust.

Usually there is some protection under the eves. As far as I can see, this unit is quite well made and well painted. I suspect you would get 10 - 12 years before rust would show.

You would deffenantly have to sand it down first. The original paint would just bubble up underneath. If you read my review, the paint is the least of your worries.

this is very unusual! normally this stuff turns black in a very short time over all surfaces,painted or rusty. i've been using this stuff for years and i highly recommend putting down some rustoleum metal primer over all treated surfaces,no matter what the label says about not needing any primer. did you shake the container enough,i wonder?

No. All of the contact points with the car are padded, so it doesn't damage the paint.

If you place it outside it will get wet,without the water causing damage. It will NOT float in water. If submerged, I think it will eventually damage the paintwork.

No. It sounds like yours may have been a return. But I don't think a scratch or condensation will hurt it. Just make sure there is no rust or other damage and you should be fine.

You might need to sand it. Check with local paint store, test it on one of the support bars at the bottom

I suppose you could, but depending on the paint it could affect the rubber surface and/or the adhesive. That would be a question for the manufacturer.

Yes especially if it is an alloy box but if the box is made of wood you might want to seal and prime it with the high temperature primer first and make sure that there are no cracks before you go over it with the rust oleum high temp paint, for best results!

I wouldn't it leaves a rough finish and I 'm not sure if it has any negative reaction if it comes in contact with the skin. Contact Rust oleum they should be able to give you that info.

I believe that I remember if you had rust, you needed to treat that first. I would contact the manufacturer for more info, I did not have that problem, but I can tell you it is a GREAT product for painting over bathroom tiles!

You would have to remove the rust first with steel wool or sanding paper. If you paint over the rust it would just eat the paint away.
