RUST BULLET BlackShell - Gloss Black - 1 Pint - Corrosion Preventive Coating, UV Resistant Rust Proofing Paint, Long-Lasting Metal Protection

The smell from this paint is serious stuff, but holy cow when it dries it's like powder coating, but better since it can be repaired and recoated later Awesome stuff! It's very expensive but I can see why they got a patent on this stuff. Whatever it's made of is VERY different. If you have metal you want painted black, this is IT!

This was the second purchase of this product due to the amazing results when applied with a bristle or foam brush. It produces a high gloss, self-leveling, hard-shell finish, that is very resistant to surface scratches like most gloss black coatings. It is also very to clean and covers an outstanding amount of area. My first use was for a modified Jeep Wrangler frame and suspension components. The second application was a heavy-duty, homemade garden cart on steroids.

Awesome product, it did better than I thought

Does what it says it will, treats rust. Thick and easy to apply, but plan on using the whole can immediately after opening. If you don’t, when you go to use it again (even after being well sealed) half of the material in the can will have turned solid, like concrete.

I was lookn for some good paint that I can apply to my railings. Didnt want Lowes OR Home Depot paint cause theirs doesn't last long. So I searched internet and found this Rust Bullet paint. Never heard of it. Never used it. After reading the good / bad reviews online, I decided to give it a shot. I bought the quart can. Cleaned railings and applied this product. 24 hrs later ( right now ) im writing this and lookin at the railings. They are dry. They are covered. The paint is hard ( like a shell ) It didn't take 48-72 hours to dry like can said and it did not shine super high gloss like can said. Which im happy its not super shiny gloss cause my neighbors all have flat black railings also in condo. But yes...... I definitley will use this again. It works. Im happy with it. No issues. No bad smell either.

I love this pain. I've been using it on and off for a decade because it literally smothers rust so it can no longer oxidize. However, I also use this pain when I need a very durable surface, like the hitch hook-up on my truck. The reason they come in small cans is that there can be enormous waste. Let me explain - trying to open the can for the first time is rather challenging. You will no doubt destroy most of the lid's top rim trying to get it off (see picture). Helpful hints: don't shake the paint to mix it unless you want tiny bubbles in your paint job. The manufacturer recommends stirring to mix the pain. Try as hard as you can to keep paint out of the can's gutter. If you don't and put the lid back on, the paint will literally fuse the lid onto the paint can, and you will be unable to remove the lid again, thus wasting the rest of the can of paint. Now you know why it comes in small cans - this can be a one-use-and-discard situation. However, However, I might have figured out how to keep using all of the paint in the can. The key is to use a small brush (I use a Q-tip) to apply the paint to the metal you want protected, which will hopefully keep paint out of the gutter surrounding the can's opening. If you do this, you can push the mangled lid back onto the can loosely, but enough to keep most of the air out. Then place the can with its loosely placed lid into a small zip-lock bag and squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible while sealing the bag. Keep the paint can, now secured in the bag, as flat as possible to keep paint off the lid, which will make it impossible to pry the lid off. Later, you will most likely need a screwdriver to pry the lid off in spite of the above efforts, but doing it this way doesn't seem to dry the paint out, and for the first time in a decade, I've been able to use the same can of paint numerous times. I hope this helps.

Covers well. Two coats best

Here’s a concise yet effective negative Amazon review for your anti-rust paint: Title: Poor Packaging – Impossible to Open Without Damage Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ I purchased the 4-ounce bottle, expecting a simple and functional container. However, the metal is so thin and soft that every attempt to open it resulted in the bottle getting crushed—yet the lid remained firmly sealed. After multiple tries, the container was completely destroyed, making the product unusable. A frustrating and disappointing experience. If the manufacturer can’t design a proper bottle, I have little confidence in the paint itself. Avoid this unless you want to waste your money.

Works as stated. I purchased this and used it a year ago. The metal painted on frame of truck and on bbq screen remain black.

Easily covered 8 rims with some product left over. A few thin coats built up a nice hard finish with a good gloss. The product does have a bit of an oder so definitely work in a well ventilated area. Hopefully the finish will stand up better than products I have used in the past...time will tell.

Great product, putting on a thin layer as instructed. Small can goes a long way, and dries hard.

Can would not open took my 270 pound friend to literally tear the can apart to open. It was fused together. Extremely expensive very tiny can. Dont recommend buying from this seller. Can buy larger cans cheaper locally.
