When I sprayed them I had no problems (and they came out gorgeous). Someone else did some of the spraying and kept coming in and saying that the nozzles were getting messed. Not sure if it was user error or not. The nozzles are nice though, fan tips and not the regular circular ones.

I love the fact that it is has some texture to it. Been several months and still looks great. Didn't have any problem with the spray can either. Used Krylon Fusion on 2 Plastic armrests for a plane.

I used four cans of Krylon Fusion. The nozzles of the first three got irreparably clogged up by the quick drying paint. I tried washing them/blowing them out with a compressor, but no luck. I was ready to give up when I got the fourth can working. But, I have to admit, once it was spraying right, the stuff really held fast and worked great. Warm.

I bought a Garmin GPS for my marine brother-in-law to take to Iraq. I thought the bright yellow "don't-lose-me" color looked too much like a "do-target-me" color, so I tried painting it with this stuff in a tan-ish color. Almost any bump knocked some paint off. Of course, it could be the particular plastic that Garmin uses. I wound up scuff-sanding it and it stuck better, but still not perfect. Not hot.

Painted the huge ugly cable box from a very light green that matched nothing in the yard to a very dark green that made the box disapear. I have a dozen colors in my shop and, like Tim Tayor, use them to color match all sorts of things. Hot from me too.

Great stuff, definitely HOT. But not as hot as the idea of getting the choir to do the chore of prep work. Thanks for the tip, I'll put those angelic voiced little buggers to work sanding & taping right away! Actually, I just used a can of this. Great stuff, definitely HOT.

Spray on black, spray on a couple of coats of that stuff and voila; sparkly holographic colour with zero skill required. (okay, fun rather than useful, but it gives astonishingly flashy results for the amount of effort required).

Needed to paint a plastic cable organizer to match my wall. Made three lights coats, looked great, flexed with the plastic. One year later, its still great. I have to point out the cable organizer to my friends when they ask how I ran wires to my projector. Rustoleum worked for me. Needed to paint a plastic cable organizer to match my wall.
