Krylon Colormaster Spray Paint, 12 oz, Gloss Finish, True Blue

I have used Krylon Paint for YEARS. This can of spray paint is garbage dirty spray paint. Clean metal tray applied paint as if dust specs mixed in the paint. Next day lightly sanded the specs off. Wiped of the dust and smooth finish again. Re-painted the tray and same exact problem specs in the paint also this is being done indoors basement so no wind or dust in the air. Now I get a sheet of tin foil off a roll right out of the box and the same exact thing. YOU HAVE CONTAMINATED PAINT

After using Rustoleum and experiencing bad results, I decided to give Krylon a try. BEST DECISION EVER. The nozzle sprays evenly and just the right amount so I never experienced any run or drip, and I didn't have to worry if I was spraying too close. Sprayed 1 tacky coat, then 2 wet coats 10 minutes apart, and let it dry for two days. Then sanded with 600 and I never had any issues with the next layers, in fact the newer coats ended up even nicer. After I sprayed my color, although it was suggested not to, I applied Clear Gloss on top of it the same way, about 10-12 coats (3 per day), and let it dry for a week after the final spray. Then I sanded with 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 grit and then hand buffed and polished. I never thought I could have this finish quality without a spray booth or spray guns. Patience is the key. Also read weather and humidity conditions before you spray, it seriously can affect your project.

I use spray paints almost daily for various projects. The ColorMaster line is by far my favorite! I've used on glass, wood, metal, and plastic; all with excellent results. - I'm disappointed if ever forced to buy another brand because I can't find the color needed in ColorMaster! My favorite feature is the control spray tip. It allows for excellent control, I can modulate paint flow, and not wear out my index finger. :) If there is anything I have learned with frequent use; it is that spray painting in general is not easy, and takes lots of practice to be done well! I think many people are under the misconception that spray painting is a simple and quick - 'pop off cap and spray where you stand' process. Just like brush or roller painting, PREP, STORAGE and TECHNIQUE are all imperative! FAR more important that ANY paint you choose to use. If your surface is not properly prepped, paint has been stored for two years in extreme hot/cold temps in a garage, spray nozzle is not cleaned after each use, and/or application strokes are not even sweeping motions, a poor result is typically user error.

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.
