If you are set on the type of wood you want to use the Rust-Oleum on, consider how you prepare the wood. But it’s much easier to see the grain on oak, so you would need more coats of Rust-Oleum to cover that.
Pine and Poplar are two types of wood that won’t always show the grain. Some woods also show grain more than others. If you want to use it on a vertical surface, you may need to adjust the position while everything dries. Rust-Oleum works particularly well on hardwood floors and other horizontal surfaces. I can only describe him as a very gentle man who was a friend when I really needed a friend.When deciding whether or not to use Rust-Oleum in wood, you should consider the type of wood. But when I hear of Rust Oleum paint I think of Bill, and his idea and how much his idea is still used today long after He is long gone. I lost touch with him when I moved down south in 59, driving the Buick to Georgia.
He became a close friend, and was always happy to see me come out to repair the Buick. He showed me some of his early samplings and early on realized that he did not have the money to sell his product to the world around him, so he hired an attorney who was able the find a buyer for his idea and was paid a good Dollar Figure and Bill was made a wealthy man, was able to buy his farm and live a happy life. He developed some of his ideas and came up with a Paint that used fish oil and worked well with steel and the ever present rust problems. He told me about has work along the Ohio River and his dealing with the ever-present rust where he worked. He was a black man, at a time when few were wealthy and could afford property in a Pittsburgh suburb, and he had many acres. no farm, no animals, and we often talked about his life. WE met the old man and he was just a prince of a man, and was happy to have me come to his FARM as he called it to fix my Buick. A friend told me about a man he knew, not far from our apt that had property where I could work on the Buick. This was in the late 50s and I was working on my 39 Buick coupe, newly married and living in a small 2nd floor apartment with no space to work on my car. I often hear of Rust Oleum paint on this sight and often think of my story of this famous paint. Two quarts (one of each) of color, the needed hardeners, thinner, and sealer at my buddy's body shop cost was $285. This last time I redid the body on the coupe (I had rust issues I had to fix), I broke down and did acrylic enamel paint. It doesn't seem to hold up nearly as long as it used to. The cheap Rustoleum kind of paint has really been effected. Over the last couple of years, all paint has changed for the worse. When the paint starts to look bad, I just redo the body work, and paint it again. After 4-5 years its starting to look pretty rough, just about right for an old dirt track car.įor me, the 5 year time line is OK, I hate body work and tend to quit before its really done. It chips more easily as the paint gets older. The paint looks really good for the first 2-3 years. It takes days to completely dry, weeks if you intend to do any sanding.īe sure you add the hardener, bugs hitting it at highway speeds will chip it without the hardener. I've done several vehicles with this paint.ĭon't over thin it, if you thin it too much, it won't hold up worth a crap. I'm not a wax kind of guy, I'm a get in and drive it, wash it if it really looks bad kind of guy. I put a bunch on miles on my coupe ( close to 10,000 miles a year) with the local farm store brand of oil based paint.
