I used this stiff to paint the ‘hello 1960’s’ wall tiles on my bathroom. Underneath I primed with Stix primer which seems to really adhere to the tiles. Once it was dry I could not scratch it off with a fingernail so I assume it is a good base for this paint. Originally, I had issues with cratering when applying this paint and I was a bit hesitant to use it. But when I put on the first coat on a warm/hot, muggy day, no issues with a foam roller. One coat was not sufficient, although some folks might find it acceptable. For coat no. 2 I first scuffed the overnight dry paint with 320 paper, just enough to remove any lumps, bumps etc. Then I used a Mohair roller cover. Being bigger(regular diameter but 4” wide) it held a lot more paint and worked great. At first it took a few strokes to saturate the cover and there were tons of bubbles, but they all went away. This paint job had 80deg humid weather which I think was a plus. Slowed the drying process and allowed the paint to level nicely. Not glass like which might be attainable, but a very subtle texture which looks like its the way the tiles were made. And it is high gloss. We’ll see how it holds up over time but it looks great and a heck of a lot cheaper than a tile job. One caution. The stuff got old school VOC big time. I would not use it when you might have to keep a house closed up. I was thinking of spraying but I figured the masking, need for a respirator etc was not worth the effort. Overall, nice paint. It seems durable and we’ll see how ot works in a bathroom. I also painted the ceramic towel bar fixtures. They look like white smooth ceramic which I think was the result of brushing. To cut in edges I used the throw away chip brushes which worked fine. Not worth trying to clean an expensive brush with this paint

Used it in battleship gray to paint a patio table that has seen better days. Looks new now! Very happy with the finish. Put 2 coats on (sanding lightly in between coats). It took much longer to dry than the can said. Stayed sticky for a week maybe, for the first coat? Less for the second coat. Not sure if it’s because of the humidity. Impressed with this product and would definitely consider using it for other outdoor applications and trying other colours.

I have used Rustoleum "tub and Tile" MANY times on 3 different shower/tub enclosures to DIY and fix them up. It is a very messy thin and toxic smelling product. This is NOT any of those things. It is "thicker" so it covers better. It flows together better and DOES NOT RUN! Please take my advice and try this you will not be disappointed. I wish it was available in Canada but it is not, we are fortunate Amazon carries it for us. I am always wondering why we have such terrible products we must use in Canada as the good stuff is not made available to us. This is much easier to use as well, a beginner can easily refinish their tub/shower with one can, and giving it 2 coats as it goes very far. I see many people speak about the smell, well it smells much less then the Tub and tile product. That product smells very toxic this does not. The smell it does have disapates with in 1 hour. Good luck with your project and try this "Top side" out it will make you proud!

Pour la coque de mon bateau, couvre très bien. Pour 2 couches sur un bateau de 20 pieds, il faut 2 pintes.

This paint is not that finicky: It's just that all the other variables involved in painting with oil are that finicky. I opted for this instead of epoxy because of overall project-related costs. I generally dislike oil-based paint because of the fuss in applying multiple coats. Rust-Oleum 206999 Marine Topside Paint has good coverage & elasticity, (however when I chose to order more paint I found batches from certain suppliers were noticeably thinner, to where painting vertical surfaces became problematic). And I did hate the corresponding 'chalky' Topside primer & preferred cheaper, higher quality Zinsser.Bottom Line - Despite the torturous heat in which I applied this alkyd enamel & interim snafus, this is a well-perfected paint (from the creamier cans). I just pressure washed it after 3 weeks & it looks & cured great & is doing well in the damp coastal coolness where every night the dew rises to water the ground & substitutes for rain. --Happy camper in the land of boats, here, sporting 1 coat of primer & 5 coats of this paint atop. PS: Unless you're a pro, aim for 3 coats at most, sans primer, and that will keep a tight ship if you did your homework: fiberglass, degreasing & sanding. Or pay the price for epoxy; but this oil-based alkyd enamel which is a true 'oil' paint does not dry or catalyze: It cures. If done patiently, we will probably appreciate this beautiful, natural finish for a long time.(The one-star lacking is due to those 'thinners' out there who need to 'repaint' --Old joke with a serious quality case in point. It's good paint but consistency varied between suppliers to the point where you could not foam roller paint a previously 24 hour dried vertical fiberglass surface with paint straight from later ordered cans without viewing some drip formations after painting. C'mon! God forbid if I had added Penetrol to that, let alone thinner, so with those it was not an option. The creamy consistency cans (ordered through Home Depot) took up to 20% Penetrol fine & did both flat & vertical work without drip. But later cans did not. I'd previously read this complaint by another blogger somewhere & did not believe it until experiencing it for myself in orders I received late in the project. l ordered paints through Grainger, Home Depot, Jamestown & Amazon. Get the good stuff which is excellent or send it back.)
