Rust-Oleum 400ml Natural Effects Spray Paint - Cast Bronze

Garden ornaments were looking tired and weathered so I resprayed them black and over sprayed lightly to restore that antique look.

Great delivery time, worked perfectly for the job. Very impressed with coverage

I must say initially that I have used Rustolium primer and top coat paints extensively in the past with complete success in terms of finish and value for money satisfaction. That said, I consider this paint expensive rubbish!Firstly, after vigorously shaking the can as required, my first spray attempts were rewarded with a dark brown colour finish rather than the required bronze.In addition, unlike other aerosols from the same manufacturer, this can is not fitted with with the larger diameter spray button but one that looks like it was taken from an old fashioned deodorant. On top of that, in operation, it feels that the container is pressurised at a much higher level than others resulting in more effort to operate the spray and increased difficulty in controlling the spray intensity. The spray was either off or blasting away at a high flow rate and therefore I found it impossible to achieve an initial thin base coat but there was potential for plenty of runs.My last point concerns the extent of coverage that others have also commented on. I wanted to coat a flower trough that had a non porous surface and I estimate a surface area of around 0.6 square metre which my can of paint didn’t fully cover. On the can Rustolium quote a coverage of ‘approximately’ 2 square metre which I consider a joke.The end result is a ruined project thanks to a abysmal quality product.

Great finish, but clogs quickly. Almost like old glitter pens. I recommend removing the nozzle and cleaning in isopropyl alcohol if not used in one application. Coverage is exceptional in 1 coat (on top of good primer at least)Sprayed a 3d print.

This is the second time I've purchased this, I love the colour and covers well. I use it on outdoor pots and it seems to last very well (so far).

I ordered one of these to cover a scarecrow. It didn't go very far so I ordered 3 more. 2 of them had a faulty nozzle. I was able to use the one after some persuasion, but the last one would not function. I had to have the scarecrow finished by the weekend therefore I didn't have time to send for another. Very expensive for the quantity.

We had a plaster, Buddha statue we found in a skip, but it was rather battered and the multi-coloured paint was peeling off. We decided to spray it with a bronze effect paint to make it look smarter in our garden, and to protect it from the elements. Took a while to find what we were looking for, as many did not suit outdoor conditions, but this seemed to be what we wanted. When we got it, it was easy to use, and has done a great job. We even had enough left over to spray an iron cobbler's last, which we are using as a door stop!

Should have read the reviews before I ordered. It's impossible to control the amount of paint coming out resulting in a thick drippy coat rather than the ability to do 2/3 thin coats. Very old fashioned 70's nozzle so I ended up with it all over my fingers. Because of the force of the spray it didn't go very far. 400ml should easily have covered the project I was doing. I'm now going to have to order another can or match up with a different brand. Have achieved better results with a £2.50 Poundland tin
