Review on Satin Warm Caramel Rust-Oleum 267118 Painter'S Touch 2X Ultra Cover - 12 Ounce Pack For Improved Coverage by Ben Swett

Now that I have eons of time to be home and do stuff, I finally decided to tackle my dumpster fire of a backyard and make it as magical as I can.I’m trying to do this as cheaply but nicely as possible without having to buy too many additional items.👀In the interest of saving money, I decided I was going to sand the weird dirty crackled layer of gross off the set of plastic chairs and a table we found in the street when we first moved in, take apart the rusted wrought iron and wood bench that came with the house, and repaint them fun colors.After watching a bunch of DIY videos I chose this particular paint based on recommendations and because I could use it on plastic and iron, plus it was the cheapest price for this type of dual surface spray paint in the colors I wanted.I used vintage teal and French lilac when the colors were only $5 and $6 but based on their performance, I probably wouldn’t purchase the teal at the current price of over $11 per can.😔That said, it looks really nice on the plastic chairs, they look brand new!The paint did run a little no matter how carefully I sprayed, and I ended up using about 1 -2 cans per chair (any more than 1 can and the chairs started to look chunky and I had to sand and respray them, hence the second can) so that was annoying and made me think that I’ll probably use a can of paint and not spray paint if I ever do this again. I’ll also have to put a resin on them to weather proof and prevent the color from scraping off them as this spray paint scratches off pretty easily on plastic, though they were sanded beforehand so maybe that’s why?Even though this is marketed as for use on plastic and it clearly worked for others,I would say it’s not the best for the plastic street chairs I have unless you’re willing to go the extra mile to sand and resin the results.🤷🏽‍♀️Perhaps it only works well on plastic chairs one doesn’t find in the road?🤔I posted a picture of the back of one of the chairs I gingerly placed up against our stucco wall to get out of the sudden rain shower we had recently and you can see that it took off a bit of paint, which was disappointing.That said, it’s FANTASTIC on wrought iron!After I used our power drill with the steel wool attachment to get all the rust off, the paint didn’t run, it sprayed on evenly, the color is vibrant and I am absolutely thrilled with the results.It only took one can of paint to fully coat all the iron pieces but since I bought 2 cans of the teal specifically for the iron, I sprayed on another coat for good measure and am keeping the rest for touch ups before I weatherize the teal chairs and table.It dries in about 20 minutes which I loved.🥰I posted pics to show it works great on metal/iron and less great on plastic but it was cheaper to spray paint everything rather than buying it all new and I’m overall pleased with the results.I gave the product 3 stars because it’s marketed as for plastic and it didn’t work that great for me.Unless you want to put in the extra time and a bit more expense to make your plastic items durable, it doesn’t seem like the most time or money saving way to go, but it works great on iron so 3 stars it is.🤓
