Over the past year, their gloss white has been iffy - some cans seem to be fine, others spatter or spray a rough coating. Even if you wait for the paint to totally dry you can still get crazing wrinkles.
Maybe they've changed their formulation. It was pretty good a few years ago.
I've been using Duplicolor gray Filler/Primer for quite some time now. It does fill any remaining grain or tube seams. I've never got a bad can. The spray nozzles are a better quality than the Rusto cans and they don't clog before the can runs out of paint.
Why not use Duplicolor car paint? Some of them are lacquers.
I did find this gloss white acrylic enamel. It's more expensive, but would be worth it if it is compatible and doesn't spit and craze the paint underneath!
It doesn't cover as quickly as the Rusto 2X so it probably took another spray coat for an opaque cover.
It is smooth but the gloss isn't as high, but certainly good enough!
The instructions on the back of the can of Dupli-Color state that it is a color coat only. You will need to add your own gloss coat on top of it.
ReplyDeleteHi Lester,
ReplyDeleteI realized that, this paint would normally end up polished. But the gloss is pretty good as is.
NEVER had any luck with the Rusto 2x, and never had a problem with any of the Duplicolor (primer or colors).
