Rust-Oleum Color Shift Iridescent Shimmer Spray Paint

This is great paint! I just sprayed it onto my old rusty garden ornaments and they look like brand new. The paint reflects multi colors. Mine are mostly green and gold. Beautiful!

This paint came out nicely, coated great, and is really nice when you look at it in the sun at different directions. Painted my lawnmower.

Tl;dr - Do your prep work, follow the instructions, and be proud of your results! Read on for my full review including supplies and tips. My oldest has been riding an adult-sized bicycle since she was maybe 8- or 9-years-old. It’s the same bike she’s still been riding now at 16, though it’s been looking pretty worse-for-wear these days. I couldn’t see buying a new one, since she liked hers just fine and it still worked well. So we spent the money restoring it instead. She chose this paint in the Green-Copper finish. It looks AMAZING! We paid about $22 for two cans of this paint, and about $50 for the primer, clear enamel, and the sandpaper - a good value opposed to a new bicycle, thus also saving a perfectly good item from the junkyard. I can’t speak to the durability yet, but we sprayed over this color-shift paint with several light coats (about three full coats) of clear enamel to protect it and then let the full finish cure for a week before reassembling the bike. I hope that preserves the finish for some time. Here’s what we used for her 26” cruiser-style bike which included the frame, fork, fenders, and chain guard (all products purchased on Amazon): - 3M Wetordry 600-grit automotive sandpaper - 2 cans Rust-OleumPainter’s Touch 2X Ultra Cover Flat Black Primer - 2 cans Rust-Oleum Color Shift Paint in Green-Copper (this product) - 2 cans Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Enamel Other items we used: razor blade scraper for decal removal, painter’s tape, N95 respirator masks, and vented safety goggles. Tips for success: - Even though we worked outside, this paint seemed like it had particularly strong fumes, so we still wore goggles and masks. - Do a good job on your prep work - scraping and sanding until very smooth; very nearly or down to the metal before priming, and definitely use two coats of flat black primer. The multi-faceted finish of this color-shift paint brings out any boo-boos you make. There were a few spots we noticed afterward that we wished we’d paid a little more attention to. That said, they were barely noticeable unless you looked really closely. We’re perfectionists, for perspective. - Though we used just over a can of primer for two coats, and about a can-and-a-half of clear enamel for 3 coats, we used the entirety of both cans of this specialty paint and it just *barely* covered the frame to our satisfaction - about two light coats. In the future, I would err on the safe side and buy a third can. - This paint is very thin and runny. Follow the directions and paint about 14”-16” inches away from your project or it runs and drips leaving streaky results in the paint job. - Shake the can THOROUGHLY before starting, and shake nearly CONTINUOUSLY between sprays, otherwise the glittery particles can obstruct the nozzle, leading to chunky droplets and drips in your paint job. If you’re curious, the cream-walled brown tires, the brown wire baskets (both front and rear), grips, seat, cup/phone holder, and triangular frame bag were all purchased through Amazon as well.

Only works on a black background, but it's so pretty!

Gorgeous, but use care. ALWAYS use black base coat. I tested without the black base and it was just a yucky shade of gray. So I used the base and the color was gorgeous but the surface was bubbled/pitted in some areas. Consulted AI and it seems that a normal spraying method just won't do. I didn't paint heavily - I'm very careful - but this paint requires multiple, very thin mistings. Wish I'd known this before! So I'm going to strip the paint, use the base and paint again. It's a beautiful color so is worth it to me.

My wife purchased this for a special project we have been working on. We used it to paint our Headboard with. We found an old headboard at a thrift store for ten dollars, painted it black (After sanding For-ev-er!!), and then we were going to use it to highlight the edges. Well, we liked it so much, we painted the entire headboard with it.. Now, Much depends on the lighting... If it's not in direct light, it look totally Black.. But the minute light hits it, Break out the Disco Ball because it looks FANTABULOUS!!... It looks So professional it will blow your mind. It is easy to apply, dries fast between coats. For the money you cannot beat it. I HIGHLY recommend this product. Wait, one thing I want to mention, You need to spray a Clear coat on top of it to really make it pop. It made all the difference. I used Three coats of clear gloss, and it added that finishing touch!

Nice even spray looks pretty cool, not so much on a color shift on orange base( does have slight pink shift)but nice glitter effect , very hard to capture the glitter with camera though

This paint is amazing as most all Rust-oleum products are. Side note, they specify using a black paint for a base, black primer is different than black paint and will yield different results. Black gloss gives you a deeper look but takes more coats. I did notice a side effect of the paint as it sprays it actually produces small fine hair like strands as it leaves the can and acts like small pet hair. Can be easily removed with light wet sanding. The finish is awesome and color change is a conversation starter. Im super picky and have to remind myself im using and aerosol can and not painting a Ferrari. Results are pretty good.
