RUSTINS MPBK250 250ml Quick Dry Metal Paint - Black

Paint is quite thin so spreads quite far and covers well. Happily goes straight onto metal and even (cleaned up) rust. Tried it on plastic and that worked too. The second coat really sets it off and it dries to a nice even satin finish without brush marks. Beware this paint dries really fast - in just a few minutes - so its possible to re-coat in a few hours only. The paint seems to cure (if thats the right word for setting to a tougher finish) in about a day. Only used recently so can't comment on long term durability. Best of all, the brush can be cleaned in water.

Bought a can of dark green paint to regenerate an old lawn roller. This paint is fantastic, after sanding I painted the roller twice but I doubt if it really needed a second coat. The paint dried fast but not too fast and the colour looks fab. Brush was easy to clean in water.

It went a lot further than I thought. I managed to paint two garden chairs, a bench and a table.. oh, and a parasol stand. Downside is it runs.. beware. Water soluble, so no messing about with turps.

"I'm absolutely thrilled with the Rustins MPBK500 Metal Paint! I used it to repaint my beloved, but very worn, cast iron garden bench. The application was smooth, and the paint itself has excellent coverage. The deep black colour looks incredibly smart and has truly revived the bench, making it a focal point in the garden once again. It feels like I have a brand new bench! Definitely worth it."

Does what it says on the tin! Good colour match for my chicken run so blends in perfect! Seems high quality and covers well. Not badly priced and does the job with no textures

I really wanted to rate this higher, but there were too many things not quite right, which I was shocked by given the Rustins brand. Firstly, when you advertise a paint as green, and have a green "colour" sample on the front of it, the paint should be green, not a blue/green. Secondly, and perhaps this is due to the "quick dry" formula, but if you try to be light handed with the paint so as to avoid blobs/runs, the paint contracts and leaves unpainted areas. If you are a little heavier with the paint to counteract this, the paint has a tendency to blob, which then cracks and looks poor. All together not easy to apply. Lastly, even after taking the time to prepare the metal correctly, I still ended up with a weird yellow dotting on the first coat, meaning between that and the poor finish I had to put a thick second coat on leading to a loss of detail on the painted item. Initially, the paint seemed good value for money with the size of the tin, but with all the issues above I would just buy the more expensive competitors paint next time.

Really pleased with this, was looking at the Wickes version, Hammerite etc, but went with Rustin's out of old school trust and reputation; it's very good indeed, goes on well, nice satin lustre, slightly teal tinge, did 4 metal garden chairs with half a tin and they look great. Pics attached

A little watery and needed more coats than I had planned but ended up with lovely finish

j ai acheté plusieurs litres et j ai peint mes murs de jardin et les fenetres en bois,c est une très bonne peinture à l eau en plus pas d odeurs et du nettoyage difficile,c est vrai que son utilisation en annonce c est pour le métal ,apparemment moins bonne en lisant d autres commentaires

Compré el bote más pequeñito pensando que al final, me iba a faltar y para nada...! La pintura se extiende perfectamente y cubre muy bien los metales. Cunde muchísimo y aunque parece bastante líquida después se adhiere muy bien y es densa sobre la superficie. Use una brocha normal de las baratitas y no tuve ningún problema a la hora extender la pintura o de que surgieran después algunas imperfecciones. Sin duda si necesito otra vez pintura para cualquier metal, volvería a comprar está marca, ya que me ha sorprendido gratamente el resultado. Pinté la barandilla y unas piezas metálicas del pasamano. en mi caso aunque cubrí colores como verde y gris no tuve que darle una doble mano ya que con la primera capa quedó perfecto. Todavía me queda casi medio bote 😉

Ottima vernice consigliata

Impressive coverage and really did dry fast . Painted hardware in my bathroom, turned out great. Doing a couple coats was easy, don't have to wait long to reapply. A small amount goes a long way. Very nice finish once dried . I sanded before applying since sy surface was very smooth, but it says no priming or sanding needed

Mi è sembrato uno smalto bianco normalissimo, di metallizzato non ha nulla. Poco coprente, bisogna dare almeno tre mani.
