Krylon ColorMaster Paint & Primer Spray Paint, 12 oz., Cherry Red

I purchased this to repaint some wood frames. What a mistake! I had paint everywhere. Globs of paint came out of the side of the can as I began spraying. Very little came out of the actual spray nozzle. I use spray paint all of the time with the exact same set up and I have never had this happen. Even with a massive drop cloth I still managed to get paint on my concrete patio and all over myself.

Paint/Primer semi-gloss white is like skim water in a can! Job was to spruce up 2 old bakers racks. Have used a more expensive brand in past but decided to try Krylon. I know how: prepared shelves, shook cans, light even coats of spray. Had dripping and splattering. I estimated 3 cans would do both racks (15 oz cans) but I ended up having to buy a fourth for just the FIRST rack. Finished the other rack with can of paint and a brush! Not going to purchase this product again. Back to the more expensive spray because it will save me by not having to buy so many cans!

I used to love a Krylon spray paint, but something has changed and their new formula is just awful. The paint in question was 2 cans of semi-gloss white, bought on two separate dates, about 6-8 months apart. The coverage was so poor I thought that they had not shaken the can throughly, but I was mistaken - the paint coverage was just that bad. Coverage was about the consistency of sprayed milk; that is NO coverage and continuous runs. I even followed directions with multiple thin coats but still there was no coverage and it continued to run. I let the paint dry for 36 hours then tried to recoat, only to discover that the new paint wrinkled the previous cost into what looks like a wrinkle finish. This stuff is just plain awful. It also smells so bad that ventilation is a must, but the still odor remains until the paint dries. I guess the once great paint company has ceased to exist. I will never but Krylon paint again and will spread the word to avoid Krylon at all costs.

It worked on a small test sample of plastic but was a disaster on the actual model sailboat hull. As much as I hated Krylon Fusion, Colormaster is even worse. It runs, takes many, many, many, many ... coats. It lays down inconsistently with some smooth patches but mostly orange peel. Read the other reviews (wish I had) and do not use this junk. It should be taken off the market!

I restore and customize bicycles as a hobby and I sometimes use Krylon paint for some of my projects and I have been very pleased with Krylon Colormaster spray paint. It sprays on nice and smooth and for a general purpose spray paint is quite durable and scratch and chip resistant. I have been using Krylon spray paint for over 30 years and cannot understand all the bad reviews on such a great product. Krylon really makes great paint and I feel that the paint Krylon makes today is way better that the paint they made 30 years ago so keep up the great work and continue to make great paint products.
