Which is better
|
|
Rustoleum. Krylon used to be the king of spray paint, but they made changes to the paint and the cans to discourage graffiti and now they tend to suck.
|
|
I'm talking about the camo stuff if that matters. Still Rustoleum? Its a lot cheaper. 7.something per can of Krylon at pep boys, only 3.something per can at walmart
|

Rustoleum all the things!
I have no non-emotional reason for saying that though. |
|
Ive actually been having better luck with ACE brand farm paint (spray can).
|
|
I prefer krylon but if all I can find is rustoleum its no big deal
|
|

My personal preference is for Rustoleum, but I found Krylon (once I came to) left behind a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness.

I think Kyron sprays smoother. I Find the finish and durability to be similar.
|
|
I'm honestly pretty surprised at all the rustolem votes. I was reading that krylon is better. Granted the posts I was reading were old.

I switched to Ace hardware brand, I
Like it better than both of the others. I used to be a Rustoleum guy.. no more |

Aervoe for gun and work stuff. If I can find it at the local surplus stores. Fuck expensive shipping. |

The last half a dozen cans of Rustoleum I bought were junk. Over last few years. Crap will not even spray. Crap paint or crap nozzles, I don't know.
I've read some online about this problem. There is a lot of talk about paint formula being changed causing this problem. Who knows. |

I used both frequently at a previous job. Rustoleum tends to "spit" and clog nozzles more than Krylon if conditions are less than ideal, but I've found its durability to be superior. Rustoleum seemed to have a thicker viscosity which I am guessing contributed to those attributes and Krylon's apparent smoother spray.

Rustoleum has been great on my 870 for 3 years vs the krylon on my G17 that was scratched within a week from a holster the 2 times I used it..

View Quote This may be true but it's still tougher than the new Glock factory finish!!!LOL I have no preference as far as Krylon vs Rustoleum. Both are what they are. Cheap non durable spray on finish. |

Rustoleum enamel baked on metal at 300 degrees for 90 minutes is an incredible finish.
|
|
Anyone have any thoughts on what's the most fade resistant spray can paint?
Particularly in black. This would be on something in full sunlight. |

Fifth post adds poll, other thread is aliens among us.
Paging NorCal and good luck op. I'm sure if one of your accounts doesn't survive you will make another one. |
|
I vote Rustoelum for metal and Krylon for plastic for plastic.

I believe that Rustoleum gives a better finish in every quantifiable way. Krylon flats tend to go on very smooth and I can actually stick vinyl stencils to them. The flat spray pattern helps immensely when laying down stripes and nice, even coats. I use Krylon 90% of the time. I'm going to try Aervoe next. |

I wish ya'll would keep this discussion limited to the camo offerings. Thank you to those who have.

Krylon locks the accuracy in.
I'm in the process of trying to scientifically prove it. |

I've spent a ridiculous amount on camo spray paints for various reasons. When not talking about an enamel like Aluma hyde, Aervoe really is the best. Takes a bit to set up, but is very tough for a paint when it does. Very smooth, distinctive feel when it dries. Krylon seems to be right behind it, same feel when set up & seems to be pretty durable. Rustoleum for some reason always seems kind of chalky, granular when it dries, just seems a bit lower quality all around.
That said, Rustoleum does have a much warmer khaki than krylon, which has a very gray khaki, which isn't too bad really. Krylon khaki actually does pretty well under IR, if that matters to anybody |
