I used it years ago with good results. This is one of those any paint is better than no paint deals. Would like to hear from others that have used it.

Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.

Sometimes a person just doesn't have all the proper space to do things the correct way. I'd rather catalized paint.

Not show room quality by a long shot, but not bad at all. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,362 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,362 | I used a case (12 cans) of Krylon years ago to paint a VW Beetle.

Not show room quality by a long shot, but not bad at all. It must have some UV protection then. How do you know it was still the krylon?

It's specifically made for frame and engine areas, resists oils, fuel, grease, and it's got a semi-gloss black finish that looks great even rattle canned. I did my engine bay, side of the dump box, and frame on my truck, and all of the exterior of my hot rod.
Blitz Black costs more, but way more durable than Krylon. For me it was one of those do it once for a little more or do it over again later for twice the price things.

Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P

I asked him if he had it painted, told me no. May have helped that I painted it white. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,362 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,362 | I asked krylon if the indoor outdoor paint was UV protected. They said yes it is.

I like the fan spray tip that Krylon has, I have not seen that in Rustoleum. I cannot speak for longevity, we'll have to see. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 | I've used Krylon for years on metal when there is not a OEM color to match or the job is too small to mix and use a gun.
Everything has weathered well. The nozzle sprays much better and dries smooth and hard.
I really get POed when I use Rustolium and find a week later it is so soft that a fingernail scratches it. | | |
