can you use rustoleum type paints &amp; primer

Definately, that's the only type paint I've used it for so far. I used the gloss finish and it turned out like a fine grand piano finish! I was in a hurry to get it done so I didn't take the time to do much adjustment to the amount of paint it was spraying, just tested it on a large piece of cardboard and it was O.K. but a bit heavy. I went ahead and used it that way and it worked fine but I used a lot of paint, in fact I ran out of the quart I had bought for my small chain link fence project and bought another quart. I now have a grand piano finish on a chain link fence, kind of overkill for the first project with this paint sprayer. I will attempt to paint a house next so I will definately try to adjust the paint volume I spray for that and not overdo it and be wasteful.

yes. and I did not use a primer however, use of a primer and paint would not be a bad idea if the door handle gets used a lot.

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.

Rustoleum suggests using there etch system for the system. I choose the seal krete etch and clean at 1:1 ratio. Worked pefectly... just follow directions but change the ratios......and clean clean clean....

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.

Rebecca, that is not what its intended to do. BUT Rustoleum has a great product called, Tile Transformations...I am preparing to use it on my tile kitchen counters and backsplash after using their Deck Restore this summer that saved me thousands of dollars in porch and deck replacement. They have come up with some great products for DIY folks. Go to the Rustoleum.com website and get the skinny on your tile backsplash. Or you can give them a call, their folks are really helpful. Any of their products take time (but little skill). I think you will be pleased...and no, I don't work for them, but sure do recommend them. Rebecca, that is not what its intended to do.

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 use a rustolium paint that is high heat to 2000 degrees. I did two coats and has held up for 4 months so far. You can buy the paint at walmart for 7 or 8 dollars. Hope this helps

Call Rust-Oleum customer service. They might be able to answer your question.

If using an oil based paint such as Rustoleum topside paint, oil based Marine Primer for metal would be best. If for some reason you are using Latex paint then Latex primer would be good. You will not get the gloss of topside paint with a Latex though.

Yes, you can use ultimate compound, if necesssary. Sometimes a less abrasive compound or polish is enough, depending on the condition of your paint.

I don't know if you would call it a primer exactly. It's like a base coat. It changes to a grey or black as it works and dries. You can definitely paint over it (we used an off-white acrylic, which was best for our purposes). Can't answer the part about removing rust with coke, since I don't understand what this is...

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.

I have not had good luck with any rustoleum products. No matter what I do.....great prep work...evrything....the rust comes back. I would be very skeptical. I just tired this stuff....hasn't been long enough to determine if it works. It is clear. I think the intent is to seal the rust in so oxygen can't get to it.

Yes....The Permatex Rust Treatment works great. It blackens the rusted metal and is ready for painting. I have been using this brand for over 25years. It has good results. A very good primer for painting.

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.

you can use any paint. but it suggests gun metal, grey, green, natural wood, olive drab, brass, tan, and yellow. I would also recomend some yellow and blue.
