Great product. Goes along way. Although the tin was smaller than expected, but that’s probably my fault for not checking. Did one full coat of a large radiator cover and covered very well. So I’m happy
This tin of paint is in a convenient size, as it can be held in one hand, while you paint with the other. It gives a good coat of first paint, and is dry within a couple of hours. As the paint is water-based, the brush is easily cleaned under the tap. It needs a coat of gloss paint on top, however (from the same maker, and also water-based) before it can be subjected to, say, a hot shower, otherwise the simple first coat of primer / undercoat is liable to run. Give the primer/ undercoat plus gloss top coat 24 hours to dry thoroughly, then it’s completely resistant to rain, or a hot shower inside.
One coat almost completely covered my mahogany stained cabinet doors. One small tin was enough to do 7 full cabinet doors, 2 glass cabinet door frames and 3 drawer fronts – and there was around just under a 1/4 a tin left. It’s a beautiful colour too, dries to a sort of lavender grey and I’m almost tempted to just seal it rather than paint over it.
Before and after! Very impressed with this – small pot covered the whole chest of drawers with 2 coats and looked as though it was already painted. I did put paint + gloss at the top. Will definitely be buying it again in the future!
All paints are grossly overpriced in my view so there’s no 5 stars on price. However, the paint is incredibly good stuff. Used on new softwood, Great coverage, easy cleanup, fast drying and highly opaque. Highly recommended
I have purchased and used so many different types of Primers in the past for metals, wood and stone and all ranging in price. This Rustins 500ml Quick Dry Primer Undercoat has so far proved to be the best one I’ve used for wood and stone. I purchased it for the main purpose of painting some garden stones ready for a top coat of glow in the dark paint.
The 500ml tin arrived very well protected and sealed with 2 metal clips to ensure the lid did not come off. Once opened and given a good stir it is a lovely consistency to work with. Not too runny but not too thick either. The coverage on my garden stones has been just what I wanted. No need to touch up missed bits or lighter areas; it gave a good even coverage. It took roughly 1 hours to completely dry in the hot weather we have had recently. It dries to a smooth finish which is more of a matt than a gloss. It has been easy to paint over and there have been no signs of the paint coming off when I applied a top coat of different paint.
I’m really happy with this white primer for use on wood and stone, I can’t comment on other surfaces as I only needed it for wood & stone. Hence I recommend it based on my experience.
