Will this paint stick to metal? I am going to paint galvanized buckets. Thanks.

not really. you'd have to glop it on and it streaks. if you primed the buckets first... any white semi gloss to flat inside/outside primer... though i find valtex ... or brehr ... multipurpose latex primer to work really well as it us made to cover mold, rust, water stains... it sticks and covers with 1 coat. Martha Stewart acrylic paint will then stick to the dried primer

I think it would work well on any bare metal, as long as you wipe it clean with some rubbing alcohol before coating it with the paint. The alcohol will remove any wax or greese that may be on the copper, or any surface for that matter. Be sure to spray 3 to 4 very thin coats within 10 minutes of each. Make the last coat the heaviest without running the paint.

it will work on stainless steel. if you are using clear coat, the surface needs to be rough in order for it to stick. if you are using the lacquer paint, it will stick to stainless fairly well. it has to be dry and clean at start and dont get it wet for at least 24 hours.

I cannot give you an answer because I used it with a primer and only used this paint on some hardware for drawers from ikea. If you can prime the aluminum, I would assume it will be fine. Btw...the hardware I painted had a bit of a matte finish to it already too. The gold color itself is really nice. Sorry...

I don't see why not. Any paint that is suitable for metal should work fine. Of course, it probably won't look as nice as the factory paint job, but it should look pretty good.

That's an idea. I'll try this weekend and see what happens. They might actually stick better to a metal surface than a painted surface. I'll put up another response in a couple days.

I have no experience with that paint and can't say yes or no. My general feeling is paints have some volatile matter which might give out fumes and would might affect the food & health. Just take metal brush run with it around and apply oil. It should be ok. I got a cover as well for this grill, but didn't do much benefit. I could see rust all over the place. So I turned back to old method (brush and oil). Planning to keep it in the basement or in garage when not in use.

No it cannot. It will stick like a boss to metal, wood, concrete, terra cotta and I have stretched and used it on a formica table that I primed with spray primer first. I know this because I use a hard plastic dinner plate as a pallet and I can peel it off if I let a gob dry by accident.

I would expect so, I have not found anything it wouldn't stick! But it might dissolve the paint so be careful where you put it. It is a thick product.

I haven't used it yet. I used the Silver metal paint on a credenza and love it. I also want to clear coat it because it is very soft. Sorry, wish I could help.

I have spray painted a shelving system similar to this. However... I painted it with a primer first... This allowed the spray paint to stick. Not sure it's worth the effort to buy a new one for this purpose... but I was re-purposing an old bookshelf... so it worked for me.

Haven't tried "covering" rust with it. You need to clean off rust (I used emery cloth) before applying the Krylon. It worked great for me that way. Always prep, no matter what you paint. Good luck.

Based on my limited experience, I think it is a wonderful primer for rusted metal. I mostly use it for rough exterior jobs...iron gates, fences, chairs. I find all the spray paints from places like Lowe's or Ace stick to it. Anything you paint should be free of oil, wax, or grease. For body work I think the standard primers are probably better.

Home Depot could tell you. A roller can also be used. Yes, it does adhere to metal. used it on a mobile home and it sealed very nicely.

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

This product is intended for use with a clear-coat to protect the silver look. I'm not sure about long term adhesion to galvanized surfaces, but if you are going to try, I would use a standard temperature Rust-Oleum product with the appropriate primer.

It would have to be a REALLY good paint. It's finish is very solid and polished. I'm afraid the paint might not stick to it very nicely. But I'm also not a painter. I assume some REALLY good paint and about 2 coats should be okay. I would personally take the risk. Hope this helps you.
