Krylon Krylon Rust Tough Enamel Paint, Gray Primer, 12 oz Can, Low Odor RTA9205

Be sure to purchase enough for the project you are doing and make sure that all cans come from the same batch number. I purchased a case and didn't have enough so I purchased another case to finish. Not the same batch number and didn't match. Now I have to purchase two cases with same batch number and repaint. You would think that primer would match no matter what batch number.

I bought this product thinking it would be a good to touch up rusted metal on wheel wells of an old car. After shaking the can for 5 minutes, the rattle of the ball inside the can could not be heard. When I tried to spray, the can sprayed a clear-ish base for a split second before becoming jammed immediately (with gummy zinc particles). I removed the nozzle and sure enough: both the valve stem and nozzle itself were jammed with large gummy zinc, which i removed gently with a toothpick. After cleaning with a toothpick, I could get a quick, spattery, 1-2 sec spray before it was instantly gummed up again with zinc. I repeated this process for about a half hour, spray for 1-2 sec, clean the clogged zinc. No amount of shaking the can would mix the zinc with the base. After awhile the can was spattering and over-flowing at the base of the nozzle, dripping everywhere. I would set the can down and it would start spraying by itself intermittently because the nozzle was so gummed in place it was stuck in a depressed position. Total waste of time and money. Luckily I didn't care about the aesthetics of the beater car I was painting, if I did I would be more angry than I already am. This sputtering, expensive, unreliable can was a nightmare.

This paint was absolutely worthless. I followed all the prep instructions on a bare steel surface. I cleaned, sanded, cleaned again, then painted. I could literally scrape this off with my fingernail over 72 hours later. This stuff was easier to peel off than plasti-dip.
