How to Choose the Right Paint
Spray Paint vs. Brush-On
Spray paint: Best for smooth, even coverage on furniture, metal fixtures, and decorative items. Faster application, no brush marks.
Brush-on: Better for large flat surfaces, detailed trim work, and areas where overspray is a concern. More control for edges and corners.
Tip: Rust-Oleum's Custom Spray 5-in-1 offers 5 spray patterns for maximum versatility.
Interior vs. Exterior
Interior: Low-odor formulas recommended. Water-based paints dry faster with easy cleanup. Look for Low Odor Premium line.
Exterior: UV-resistant, weather-rated formulas. Stops Rust line provides superior outdoor durability.
Both: Universal line works indoors and out — ideal when you need one product for a multi-surface project.
A Legacy of Innovation
It started on a ship. Captain Robert Fergusson noticed that fish oil drippings prevented rust on his vessel's metal deck. Working with a chemist, he developed one of the world's first rust-preventive paints — launching with just 24 colors. Over a century later, Rust-Oleum is a global leader in protective coatings, part of Fortune 500 parent RPM International, and still driven by the same mission: protect the things that matter.
